Aim: To explore the association between the coagulation protein fibrinogen and the fibrinolytic biomarker plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( PAI- 1) and the long- term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG). Patients and Methods: In 729 patients undergoing CABG at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, a blood sample for fibrinogen and PAI-1 was collected prior to the procedure. Patien
BACKGROUND: If lungs from subjects dying of heart attacks could be used for transplantation, the lung donor shortage could be radically reduced. The aim of this study was to investigate, in an experimental survival model, the results of lung transplantation using lungs from non-heart-beating donors. METHODS: The left lung, topically cooled to 25 degrees C for 2 hours in situ after 5 minutes of cir
Carbon content and indices of microbial biomass and activity were determined in 1985 in different soil horizons of two nitrogen-fertilized pine forests in Sweden. The Kroksbo site was fertilized in 1974 with 150 and 600 kg N•ha−1 using NH4NO3 or urea, while the Nissafors site was fertilized in 1977 and 1984 with 150 kg NH4NO3-N•ha−1 The absolute amount of C per square metre of forest floor increas
Under de senaste decennierna har samhället genomgått en snabb teknologisk utveckling som resulterat i nya arbetssätt. Det är nu lättare än någonsin att arbeta var, när och hur man vill. Att världen drabbades av en pandemi under inledningen av 2020 accelererade den teknologiska utvecklingen. Digitala arbetssätt blev därmed vardag för majoriteten av den kontorsarbetande befolkningen. När det bevisliIn recent decades, society has undergone rapid technological development, resulting in new ways of working. It is now easier than ever to work where, when and how you want. A global pandemic at the start of 2020 accelerated technological progress. Digital ways of working thus became commonplace for the majority of the office-working population. With the evidence that remote working is productive,
Coastal low-level jets (CLLJ) are a low-tropospheric wind feature driven by the pressure gradient produced by a sharp contrast between high temperatures over land and lower temperatures over the sea. This contrast between the cold ocean and the warm land in the summer is intensified by the impact of the coastal parallel winds on the ocean generating upwelling currents, sharpening the temperature g
Context. The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. Aims. A key aim is to provide precise radial velocities (RVs) and projected equatorial velocities (v sin i) for representative samples of Galactic stars, which will complement information obtained by the Gaia astrometry satellite. Methods. We present an analysis to e
Since 2006, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has been a permanent resident on the west cost of Sweden. Because C. gigas is nonindigenous in Scandinavia, it may modify ecosystems and affect the resident biota. Individuals of C. gigas often settle in large aggregations, and the physical structure of the resulting reef provides attachment points and refuges for many secondary species. However, C.
A pilot plant was set up to treat leachate from an industrial landfill containing shredder residues of end-of-life vehicles and white goods. The treatment plant consisted of aeration and sedimentation steps for pre-treatment, and a filter. The plant was designed to simultaneously remove various types of pollutants. The efficiencies of pre-treatment and of the main treatment step were investigated
In contemporary nuclear physics, the European Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) represents a crucial detection system for cutting-edge nuclear structure studies. AGATA consists of highly segmented high-purity germanium crystals and uses the pulse-shape analysis technique to determine both the position and the energy of the γ-ray interaction points in the crystals. It is the tracking algorithms
We present the results of isotope-geochronological study of metasedimentary rocks of the Bolshecheremshanskaya Formation of the Volgo-Uralian segment of the East European Craton carried out to identify their protoliths. 16 samples of high-alumina gneisses from well cores were studied using the Sm-Nd isotope method and T-Nd(DM) model ages. Accessory zircons were selected from rocks with the most an
The three gamma states, gamma (1S + 2S + 3S), are measured in d + Au and p + p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV and rapidities 1.2 < vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.2 by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Cross sections for the inclusive gamma (1S + 2S + 3S) production are obtained. The inclusive yields per binary collision for d + Au collisions relative to those in p
This paper empirically investigates the relationship between industrial ownership and environmental degradation in the People’s Republic of China, with specific focus on two environmental indicators: volume of SO2 emissions and volume of industrial wastewater deemed unsafe for discharge. Sulfur dioxide and untreated wastewater emissions are considered some of the most problematic environmental and
Prehistorical musical instruments have been explored in archaeology more systematically since the 1970s when music archaeology was established as a field of study. The new awareness initially led to studies centred on retrieving musical instruments that had been missed and were now lost in archives. New discoveries, too, are very object-oriented. This master’s thesis ties together individual finds
This thesis is devoted to the analysis of the I-V properties of axial InP pn-junction nanowires made for solar cell application. A novel method has been used to measure the I-V characteristics very accurately and reproducibly, using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM is used to first image the nanowires from top and then form a low resistive point contact between the STM tip and an indiv
The purpose of this report is to investigate the implications of installing sprinkler systems in ceilings with a ceiling slope exceeding the maximum permitted by NFPA 13, being 9.5 ° or 18.44 ° depending on the type of sprinkler system. The objective of the report is to present a comparison and analysis of sprinkler activation times and patterns for sprinkler systems installed in ceilings with dif
