Purpose To describe corneal surface changes in keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Methods In all 23 patients with KCS were examined with the slit lamp and photographed by non-contact photomicrography. Results Without staining, grey surface cells and small epithelial cysts were visible. Application of fluorescein sodium resulted in two types of micropunctuate (15-30 mum) staining, a nonfluorescent (

Abstract in German Durch ihren übergreifenden Zeitrahmen verweilt die Autorin nicht bei einer spezifischen historischen Situation, sondern bettet die Sibelius-Rezeption in einen größeren Kontext ein. Der Titel schränkt daher den Blickwinkel unnötig ein, da sich fast ¼ der Arbeit nicht mit der NS-Zeit beschäftigt, sondern als notwendiges Korrelat zur NS-Rezeption auch die Nachkriegszeit bis in die

Multispecies sex pheromone trapping (trapping of more than one species in the same trap) for the pine shoot moth Rhyacionia buoliana , the pine moth, Dendrolimus pini , the nun moth, Lymantria monacha , the pine beauty moth, Panolis flammea and the pine sawflies Diprion pini and Neodiprion sertifer was evaluated. The catch from traps baited with the pheromone of a single species was compared with

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized with 17 beta-estradiol (E2) as template. It was then capable to recover this compound by 100 +/- 0.6% from a 2 mu g/L aqueous solution. By comparison, E2 recoveries of 77 +/- 5.2%, 87.1 +/- 2.3% and 19.1 +/- 7.8%, were achieved using a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) synthesized under the same conditions (but without template), a commercial C18 ext

Analysis of conceptual and methodological principles in the study of Christian mission and ecumenism in Lund University

The thesis is based on the data analysis and detector development of the EMU01/CERN, E863/BNL and UA1/CERN experiments. Particle fluctuations are studied with the scaled factorial moments in the fragmentation region of oxygen-induced emulsion interactions from 3.7 to 200 A GeV. The intermittency indices show an energy independent behaviour in the target and projectile regions of pseudorapidity. I

Question: What mate choice strategies are evolutionarily stable when individuals vary in quality and there is competition over mates? Mathematical method: We analyse a life-history-based game theoretical model of a mating system. The evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) may be random mating, or any kind of assortative mating dependent on the numerical values of a set of probabilities. We solve for

The purpose of this study was to evaluate amplification of topoisomerase IIalpha (TOP2A) and HER2 genes as predictors of response to chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer. Gene copy number of TOP2A and HER2 were analysed with chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) on paraffin-embedded tissue sections from the primary tumour of 85 patients treated with anthracycline containing chemotherapy. TOP2

The great decline in mortality has had a vital impact on our societies. Life expectancy has more than doubled in the past 200 years, but no acceptable explanation has yet been given for the earlier part of the decline in mortality, even though it has attracted a very broad interdisciplinary interest. When carefully examined, many of the stated explanations, such as better hygiene, more food, and i

Popular Abstract in Swedish När en människa möter döden i sin närhet gör sig ofta grundläggande frågor kring livet och döden påminda. I sådana situationer söker många människor sig till kyrkan för att ta avsked av sina anhöriga. Begravningsgudstjänsten är ett av de starkaste banden mellan svenska folket och Svenska kyrkan. I ”Gå vi till paradis med sång” studeras förutsättningar för ett möThe purpose of this thesis is to shed light upon the function of hymns in Church of Sweden funeral services in the 1990s. The funeral service is one of the strongest links between the Swedish people and the Church of Sweden. Since this service can be seen as an essential meeting-place between people and their needs in a mourning process and the Church and its message of faith in this situation, th
