A method was developed for isolating and sequencing proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of germlings and hyphae of filamentous fungi, Surface proteins of the cereal pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana were labelled with a membrane impermeable biotinylating agent and extracted using a glycine-HCl buffer. Extracted proteins were purified by affinity binding to streptavidin-conjugated magne
This work deals with different aspects of air movements in building components . The investigation shows to what degree the concept of fluid mechanics can be applied to problems concerning air flows in building Components. The applicable parts of fluid mechanics are presented as thoroughly as possible. Based on this concept, routines are outlined to make it possible to handle complex flow and pres
To elucidate the nature of the acid sites of the V2O5(WO3)/TiO2 catalyst upon K2O addition and its relation to the selective reduction of NO with NH3, measurements were made by means of infrared and Raman spectroscopy, NH3 chemisorption, and NO reduction measurements as a function of the K2O loading. The catalytic activity was found to decrease rapidly with the K2O loading, irrespective of the sim
In Swedish public debate, economists have been more influential than any other category of social scientists. We examine the views of five great Swedish economists on the role of the university economist in the public arena. What did they say about scholarly objectivity and value judgements, about political commitment and educating the people? The five economists are Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel,
CONCLUSION: Intermittent injections of sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8S) or devazepide caused long-lasting effects on cell proliferation in exocrine pancreas in contrast to continuous infusion. The acinar cells responded to both treatments with changes in the labeling index (LI) during the whole study period. When studying the influence of stimulation and inhibition of the CCK-A receptor on cell
Abstract in German Zur Bestimmung der Prävalenz vonHepatitis A Virus-Antikörpern (anti-HAV) bei Drogenabhängigen wurden Seren von 234 Drogenabhängigen mit akuter Hepatitis B, die in einer schwedischen Stadt während zehn Jahren gesammelt worden waren, auf anti-HAV getestet. Zum Vergleich wurde eine normale Bevölkerungsgruppe herangezogen, bei der nur 3,8% der nach 1950 Geborenen und 8,2% der JahrgäTo determine the prevalence of antibodies to Hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) among drug addicts, sera collected in a Swedish city during a ten-year period from 234 drug addicts with acute hepatitis B were tested for anti-HAV. The results were compared with the normal population, where only 3.8% of those born after 1950 were anti-HAV-positive. In individuals born between 1941 and 1965, 8.2% in the nor
Three new genera Coppinsidea, Vandenboomia and Wolseleyidea are described and the genera Ivanpisutia, Lecaniella and Myrionora are resurrected on the basis of a phylogenetic analysisof multi-locus sequence data of the Ramalinaceae including the nuclear protein-codingmarker rpb2, the internal transcribed spacer and a fragment of the small mitochondrialsubunit. The genus Hertelidea was positioned wi
The prompt fission γ-ray energy spectrum for cold-neutron-induced fission of U235 was measured in the energy range Eγ=0.8-20MeV, by gaining a factor of about 105 in statistics compared to the measurements performed so far. The spectrum exhibits local bump structures at Eγ≈4MeV and ≈6MeV, and also a broad one at ≈15MeV. In order to understand the origins of these bumps, the γ-ray spectra were calcu
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the induction of apoptosis by the chemotherapeutic agent etoposide (VP16), and to examine the effect of combining VP16 with gefitinib to see if the cell-survival mechanism can be prevented.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The bladder cancer cell lines RT4 and T24, representing low- and high-malignancy grades respectively,
Presentation of a protein antigen to T cells generally requires that the antigen be enzymatically processed into an immunogenic peptide(s). The identification of a protease(s) and its mechanism of action in the proteolysis of such an antigen is therefore a primary goal in the study of antigen processing. We show here that Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE), a neutral thiol metalloendo-proteinase that
Treatment of haemophilia A/B patients comprises factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX) concentrate replacement therapy, respectively. FVIII and FIX activity levels can be measured in clinical laboratories using one-stage activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)-based clotting or two-stage chromogenic factor activity assays. We discuss strengths and limitations of these assays, providing exampl
BAKGRUND: Intresset för parasport har vuxit det senaste årtiondet. Andelen paraidrottare som elitsatsar ökar ochmånga prestationer går att jämföra med idrottare utan funktionsnedsättning. Deltagande i idrott innebär dock en ökadrisk för att drabbas av en idrottsrelaterad skada eller sjukdom (IRSS). IRSS är ett bekymmer inom flertalet idrotter,vilket kan leda till förlorad träningstid samt negativa
Two Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) products i.e. 3-hourly TRMM 3B42 and monthly 3B43 data were validated using 39 rain gauge stations in the Caspian Sea Region (CSR) in Iran with complex topography. The period 1999-2003 were selected. The validations were performed at monthly and annual scales. Results showed that both TRMM 3B42 and 3B43 can

Proinflammatory diets are associated with risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), however, inconsistencies exist in subsite- and sex-specific associations. The relationship between CRC and combined lifestyle-related factors that contribute toward a low-grade inflammatory profile has not yet been explored. We examined the association between the dietary inflammatory potential and an inflammator
The emergence of nodding syndrome (NS) in Northern Uganda has generated controversial views with respect to patterns, natural history, and aetiology of the disease which is yet unknown. This study explored spatial patterns of NS using spatial-temporal methods to establish its clustering patterns across both space and time. Village and year of NS onset for individual patients between the years 1990
