Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) is the most common congenital craniofacial malformation and is often associated with additional diagnoses. The purpose of this study was to explore the cumulative five-year incidence of additional diagnoses for patients with cleft lip and palate. Further aims were, type of cleft and type of additional diagnose and to validate CLP registry data on additional diagnoses. D
A variety of pathogenic bacteria can infect humans and the increase in bacteria resistant to common antibiotics is a large threat to human health worldwide. This work presents a method, based on optical DNA mapping (ODM) in nanofluidic channels, that can detect the type of bacterial present in a sample by matching the obtained maps of large DNA molecules to a database of fully assembled bacterial
Jordan has one of the lowest available water supplies in the world; meanwhile, Jordan has seen a large increase in population and refugee’s fluxes, leading to an increase in water demand. To address this unprecedented water scarcity, Jordan’s water must be used where its social and economic value is highest. Jordan must treat and reuse virtually every drop of water. With using brackish water (i.e,
In this paper we propose a test planning scheme for corebased 3D stacked integrated circuits where the total test cost for wafer sort of each individual chip and the test cost of the complete stack at package test is minimized. We use an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model to find the optimal test cost, which is given as the weighted sum of the test time and the test access mechanism (TAM). As
Recently, molecular motor gliding assays with actin and myosin from muscle have been realized on semiconductor nanowires coated with Al2O3. This opens for unique nanotechnological applications and novel fundamental studies of actomyosin motor function. Here, we provide a comparison of myosin-driven actin filament motility on Al2O3 to both nitrocellulose and trimethylchlorosilane derivatized surfac

Patients waiting for heart transplantation due to a failing heart can get a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implanted through open chest surgery. The device consists of a pump that pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. To get the correct rotation speed of the pump, the physicians consider a number of measurements as well as a sequence of echocardiographic images. The important
In this paper, four major parameters of fresh water production from saline sources are discussed. The parameters are desalination technology type, water sources input type, energy sources and productions cost per cubic meter. Five different types of desalination technology are presented and bench-marked for long-term use. RO and MSF are dominant technologies. Six different input water sources are
BACKGROUND: Progressive immune dysfunction and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) develop in most persons with untreated infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) but in only approximately 20 to 30% of persons infected with HIV type 2 (HIV-2); among persons infected with both types, the natural history of disease progression is poorly understood. METHODS: We analyzed d
Speciation and equilibria of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate (pyromellitate) at the water-boehmite (gamma-AlOOH) interface were studied in 0.1 M Na(Cl) at 298 K. Surface equilibrium analyses were based upon potentiometric and adsorption measurements in the range 4.5 < pH < 10.0. To characterize the surface complexes at the molecular level, attenuated total reflectance infrared spectra were recorde
We have performed a joint theoretical and experimental study to investigate the terahertz radiation from Bloch oscillations in a GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As superlattice under the condition that there is no Zener tunneling. The total radiation intensity has been calculated with a semiclassical approach in the low field regime where the Wannier-Stark ladder (WSL) cannot be resolved, and with an exact numeric
Solvent extraction of phosphoric acid with Alamine 336 and tri-n-octylamine in toluene has been investigated. The activity of phosphoric acid is expressed as a polynomial of ionic strength and Bromley's model for electrolyte solutions is employed for calculation of ionic activity coefficients. Three species R3N (H3P04) n with n = 1, 2 and 3 in the organic phase are taken into account for explanati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Moderna tillverkningsmaskiner är dyra och därför måste dess tillgänglighet och effektivitet ständigt hållas högt. Sådana resultat kan man inte åstadkomma utan tillämpning av en effektiv underhållsstrategi. Förutsättningar för att minska eller arrestera förslitnings hastighet på maskins delar och öka maskinlivslängden är stora vid användning av tillståndsövervakning, (TÖModern machinery is expensive and therefore must run at high availability and effectiveness which cannot be achieved without an effective maintenance policy. Condition monitoring, (CM), techniques can be utilised to reduce or arrest the rate of deterioration of a component so increasing operating life. The main result reported in this thesis is that the rolling element bearing’s mean effective li
In this article we describe Tibetan indigenous women's perceptions and experiences of their own health and life situation in Shichuan Province, China. Fifteen focus group discussions (FGDs) and 10 interviews were conducted. Repeat FGDs were used to empower the women and as a tool to collect data. Content analysis was used to analyze the data, and three subthemes were identified: 'shouldering respo
caiman, Paleosuchus trigonatus, and Cuvier’s dwarf caiman, Paleosuchus palpebrosus, were sequenced and included in a mitogenomic phylogenetic study. The phylogenetic analyses, which included a total of ten crocodylian species, yielded strong support to a basal split between Crocodylidae and Alligatoridae. Osteolaemus fell within the Crocodylidae as the sister group to Crocodylus. Gavialis and Tomi
Waste management and waste prevention are strong focal points for the EU in its transition towards sustainable development. In recent years, several policy actions were launched targeting, especially, the municipal waste generation. However, the differences in the quality and circularity of members’ waste management systems are considerable. In this scenario, the thesis investigates whether corrup
Abstract Title: Pricing of Used Goods – A Case Study of Decentralization and Centralization in the Swedish Car Dealer Business. Seminar date: June 1, 2012 Course: FEKH95, Degree Project Undergraduate level, Business Administration, 15 University Credits Points (UCP) or ECTS-cr) Authors: Henric Klasson, Paulina Lindskoug, Johan Svensson Advisor: Lars Carlman Key words: decentralization, cent
The purpose of this essay was to analyze the collapse of democracy in the Weimar Republic. This was done by analyzing some of the most turbulent crises in its history like the communists attempt to take power in 1919, the kapp-putsch of 1920, hyperinflation 1923 and the economic depression 1929-1933. The method that I used in this essay is called methodological individualism. It was an analytical
This thesis investigates how individual driving behaviour during an evacuation is affected by the presence of smoke on the evacuation route. The thesis aims are to determine a correlation between the choice of speed and the density of the smoke, determine if there is a difference in choice of speed in relation to the previously driven road segment (in thicker or thinner smoke), and determine if th
This study is a survey of the bottom life of Hjälmsjön outside Örkelljunga in Skåne. The municipal and a row society are going to make an application for permission to dredge the bottom in order to increase the depth up to two meters depth. In the application they need a description of the area including which species live on the bottom and what the ecological status is for the lake. I have sample
