In this paper, we investigate how different levels of entrance fees affect donations for a public good, a natural park. To explore this issue, we conducted a stated preference study focusing on visitors' preferences for donating money to raise funds for a protected area in Costa Rica given different entrance fee levels. The results reveal that there is incomplete crowding out of donations when est
Meta-analyses of extant genome-wide data illustrate the need to focus on subtypes of ischemic stroke for gene discovery. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke SiGN (Stroke Genetics Network) contributes substantially to meta-analyses that focus on specific subtypes of stroke.
PurposeA segmented inversion-recovery module combined with the 2D ultrashort echo time radial technique is proposed that allows accurate pixel level T-1 mapping of mouse lung in vivo. MethodsNumerical simulations were performed to estimate T-1 measurement accuracy and precision versus flip angle and signal-to-noise ratio. Phantom measurements were used for protocol validation, where the segmented
The northern terrestrial net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) is contingent on inputs from vegetation gross primary productivity (GPP) to offset the ecosystem respiration (R-eco) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions, but an effective framework to monitor the regional Arctic NECB is lacking. We modified a terrestrial carbon flux (TCF) model developed for satellite remote sensing appli
Socioeconomic status could potentially impact on which type of rheumatic diagnosis a patient receives. We determined whether different socioeconomic status is a risk factor for being diagnosed with spondyloarthritis (SpA) or chronic pain. In a nested case-control study, we identified two sets of adult cases diagnosed with (i) SpA (n = 1,194) and (ii) chronic pain (n = 3,730) during 2010-2012 in Sk
Purpose: To evaluate waiting times for first-eye cataract surgery in Sweden following widespread adoption of the Nationell Indikationsmodell for Kataraktextraktion (NIKE) tool for prioritizing patients for cataract surgery. Methods: Waiting times for all first-eye cataract surgeries in Sweden in 2009-2011 were identified from the Swedish National Cataract Register. Waiting times were compared acco
This work describes and characterizes an algorithm for the nonambiguous reduction of multiexponentially decaying luminescence signals to scalar values of corresponding calibration temperatures. Previous evaluation schemes in phosphor thermometry make use of an intermediate step, where data reduction is achieved by fitting a model equation to phosphorescence decays in order to translate one or more
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficiency of different methods of reading breast tomosynthesis (BT) image volumes. METHODS: All viewing procedures consisted of free scroll volume browsing and three were combined with initial cine loops at three different frame rates (9, 14 and 25 fps). The presentation modes consisted of vertically and horizontally orientated BT image volumes. Fifty-five normal BT im
Specific alterations (mutations, deletions, insertions) of virus genomes are crucial for the functional characterization of their regulatory elements and their expression products, as well as a prerequisite for the creation of attenuated viruses that could serve as vaccine candidates. Virus genome tailoring can be performed either by using traditionally cloned genomes as starting materials, follow

Diabetesprocessen startade hos många barn redan när de var under fem år. Blodprovet som togs vid varje besök har analyserats för autoantikroppar mot insulin (IAA), GAD65 (GADA) och IA-2 (IA-2A). Resultaten visas i figuren. När kunde ett TEDDY barn bli positiv?Resultaten i figur 1 visar antal barn/1 000 och halvår i Sverige som utvecklat autoantikroppar. IAA kunde komma redan under första levnadsår

Bone scintigraphy is usually obtained as a whole-body scan producing 2 images: an anterior view and a posterior view. Sometimes abnormal findings in the spine are difficult to distinguish on whole-body bone scans. SPECT/CT may be performed to localize and interpret a lesion correctly and to help differentiate between benign and metastatic lesions. The assessment of whether SPECT/CT is needed is us
A cotton skin and Gore-Tex skin were designed for thermal manikin "Tore" to simulate different sweating styles (wet cotton skin inside and Gore-Tex outside to simulate sweating style of thermal manikin "Walter", and Gore-Tex skin inside with wet cotton skin outside to simulate sweating style of thermal manikins "Newton". The evaporative resistances of two skin combinations with clothing ensembles
A nicotine imprinted polymer was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer. The resulting molecularly imprinted polymers were monodispersed beads with an average diameter of 1.55 mu m. The molecular selectivity of the imprinted polymer beads was evaluated by studying the uptake of nicotine and its stru
The effect of enzymatic activity in direct steam infusion heat treated milk with ultra-short holding times (>150 degrees C for <0.2 s) on age gelation during storage was investigated. Preheating at either 72 or 95 degrees C for 180 s was performed. Milk pre-heated at 72 degrees C showed extensive proteolysis and exhibited bitter off flavour and contained <40% intact alpha(s)- and beta-caseins afte
Purpose – This paper aims to develop a novel micro-ablation system to realise micrometric and well-defined hydrogel structures. To engineer a tissue it is necessary to evaluate several aspects, such as cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, its micro-architecture and mechanical stimuli that act on it. For this reason, it is important to fabricate a substrate which presents a microtopology simi
