The cells of most normal and malignantly growing tissues are connected by "adhering junctions", i.e. distinct sites of "homotypic" contact between the plasma membranes of two cells of the same or a similar kind, associated on the cytoplasmic side by a dense plaque at which often bundles of cytoskeletal filaments anchor. Of the various types of adhering junctions desmosomes are characteristic of ep

The period between 1945 and 1960 is in many ways interesting. It is a period in Sweden, which is characterized by modernity. It is also an interesting period in Swedish musical life concerning art music. Modern music (i.e., atonal and twelve-tone music) has always faced a resistance, which has come from the public, the academics, social prejudices, or the critics. During the 1940s and 50s, modern

Sample preparation techniques based upon liquid membrane extraction offer a high degree of selectivity and enrichment power and use small amounts of organic solvents. They also provide convenient possibilities for direct and automated interfacing with chromatography systems and other analytical instruments.

The crystal structure of the phosphide-bridged cluster [Os6(μ-H)(CO)12(NCMe)(μ-PH2)] 4 has been determined. The cluster consists of two Os3 triangles which are linked by a PH2 moiety which is terminally bound to each triangle. The acetonitrile ligand is axially coordinated and the hydride bridges the Os---Os edge to which the phosphide moiety and the acetonitrile are coordinated. The molecular str

The aim Of this Study was to see if preservation of the arch shape of the ankle at arthrodesis contributes to stability. The ankle joint was simulated by paired blocks of a synthetic material corresponding to rheumatoid cancellous bone with low stiffness and strength. Flat end constructs with and without subchondral bone were compared with arch-shape constructs with and without subchondral bone. T

A systematic assessment of radiotherapy for cancer was conducted by The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) in 2001. The assessment included a review of future developments in radiotherapy and an estimate of the potential benefits of improved radiotherapy in Sweden. The conclusions reached from this review can be summarized as: Successively better knowledge is available o

Med metoden kan fuktflödet genom, och relativa fuktighetens fördelning i en konstruktion beräknas. Metoden kan tillämpas på konstruktioner som består av upp till tre materialskikt. Materialdata redovisas för betong, bruk, makadam, dräneringsgrus, lättbetong, tegel, trä, spånskiva och golvmattor.

In this paper, the authors show that liquid-liquid partition chromatography in an aqueous two-phase system offers unique possibilities of comparing the overall surface properties of intact antibodies in solution before and after binding of antigen. The authors demonstrate that the surface properties of antigen-antibody complexes are dependent on the variable regions of the antibodies, the nature o

Highly efficient anti-blood group A and B immunoadsorbents for extracorporeal treatment were developed by immobilizing A and B trisaccharide and A tetrasaccharide haptens on Sepharose 4FF and Fractogel TSK using three different methods. The adsorption of the IgG and IgM anti-A antibodies was essentially the same regardless of the A hapten used or the method of oligosaccharide coupling. The adsorpt

We have developed software to simulate the development of non-equilibrium latex particle morphologies produced by seeded emulsion polymerization. The diffusion of second stage polymer radicals within seed particles controls the development of morphology in a large number of systems. Knowledge of the conditions present within the latex particles during the reaction is required in order to model thi

In a previous paper we were able to measure the abundance of uranium andthorium in the very-metal poor halo giant BPS CS31082-001, but only obtained an upper limit for the abundanceof lead (Pb). We have got from ESO 17 h of additional exposure on thisstar in order to secure a detection of the minimum amount of leadexpected to be present in CS 31082-001, the am
