BACKGROUND: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an extrahepatic protein that is dependent on glutamate carboxylation, a vitamin K-dependent process. Its dysfunctional form, desphospho-uncarboxylated-MGP, has been associated with increased arterial calcification and stiffness. The aim of this study was to measure the degree of postoperative carboxylation of MGP and two other Gla proteins in patients schedu

The public sector is showing increased interest in Mobility as a Service (MaaS), as its introduction and market penetration is proposed to potentially disrupt the personal transport system. However, involved public actors are approaching MaaS very differently. This paper applies a neo-institutional perspective to study the activities of public actors in the ongoing development of MaaS in Finland a

The aim of this study is to bring further understanding to the contested relationship between development aid and democracy. By introducing quality of democracy as an alternate measure to the ones previously used, the ambition is to approach the subject from a new perspective. In this thesis, the following research question will be answered: To what extent does Official Development Assistance (ODA

China employs approximately half of the world's coal workers while also implementing one of the world's largest decarbonization programs. This thesis examines how official policy discourse constructs the social costs of coal transition, focusing on how coal workers and transition-related burdens are framed, recognized, and governed in official policy texts. The study uses Critical Discours

The current study was made to develop a biosensor based on a single-chamber microbial fuel cell in which anaerobes were retained in the anode compartment separated from the cathode compartment by a proton exchange membrane. In the sensor a replaceable anaerobic consortium was used for analyzing biodegradable organic matter. The anaerobes acted as biocatalysts in oxidizing organic matter and transf

In this paper we address absolute camera pose estimation. An efficient (and standard) way to solve this problem, is to use sparse keypoint correspondences. In many cases point features are not available, or are unstable over time and viewing conditions. We propose a framework based on silhouettes of quadric surfaces, with special emphasis on cylinders. We provide mathematical analysis of the probl

Robot control through contact is challenging as it requires reasoning over long horizons and discontinuous system dynamics. Highly dynamic tasks such as Air Hockey additionally require agile behavior, making the corresponding optimal control problems intractable for planning in realtime. Learning-based approaches address this issue by shifting computationally expensive reasoning through contacts t

Flow-ELISA measurements of the monoclonal antibody concentration in cultivation broth containing murine hybriboma cells were carried out using a small expanded-bed column (0.5×2.5 cm) charged with protein A. A new specialised pellicular agarose/stainless steel matrix designed for high flow rates with fast mass transport properties was used. Special care was taken to get an efficient flow dist

In TSP with neighborhoods (TSPN) we are given a collec-tion X of k polygonal regions, called neighborhoods, with totally n ver-tices, and we seek the shortest tour that visits each neighborhood. TheEuclidean TSP is a special case of the TSPN problem, so TSPN is alsoNP-hard. In this paper we present a simple and fast algorithm that, givena start point, computes a TSPN tour of length O(log k) times

A fast spectral approximation of a narrow-band computer model is proposed for prediction of thermal radiation in a generally nonisothermal and nonhomogeneous combustion environment. The approximation is made by assuming each discretized spatial element along a line of sight to be locally "gray" within each small narrow-band spectrum interval. For each spatial element, the local equivalent spectral

A new pharmaceutical product suitable to act as a negative contrast agent for Computerized Scan (CT-scan) of the abdomen is under development. At the moment the product has the form of a powder, which when dispersed in water and whipped, gives a stable foam. The foam is ingested by individuals who are about to undergo a CT-scan, as a prior preparation step. The powder form has disadvantages such a
