Bidirectional crosslinguistic influence in L1-L2 encoding of manner in speech and gesture

Whereas most research in SLA assumes the relationship between the first language (L1) and the second language (L2) to be unidirectional, this study investigates the possibility of a bidirectional relationship. We examine the domain of manner of motion, in which monolingual Japanese and English speakers differ both in speech and gesture. Parallel influences of the L1 on the L2 and the L2 on the L1

Försök visar hur vatten tränger in i spricka

Vad händer när en spricka i putsen utsätts för hydrostatiskt vattentryck? Kan vatten transporteras i isoleringen? Hur påverkar horisontella och vertikala isolerskarvar vattenledningen? Kan vatten transporteras i gränsskiktet mellan puts och isolering? Vad händer om vatten når isolerhållarna? Kan vatten nå bakomliggande stomme? I ett forskningsprojekt vid Lunds tekniska högskola har experimentella

A simple method for large-scale generation of dopamine neurons from human embryonic stem cells.

Dopamine (DA) neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are potentially valuable in drug screening and as a possible source of donor tissue for transplantation in Parkinson's disease. However, existing culture protocols that promote the differentiation of DA neurons from hESCs are complex, involving multiple steps and having unreliable results between cultures. Here we report a simpl

Knowledge, Practices, and Restrictions Related to Menstruation among Young Women from Low Socioeconomic Community in Mumbai, India.

The main objective was to assess knowledge, practices, and restrictions faced by young women regarding their menstrual hygiene. The views of adult women having young daughters were also included and both views were compared. In addition, the factors influencing the menstrual hygiene practices were also studied. The study was carried out during 2008 in Mumbai, India. The mixed methods approach was

Whole-Body and Microenvironmental Localization of Radium-223 in Naïve and Mouse Models of Prostate Cancer Metastasis.

Bone-metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (bmCRPC) represents a lethal stage of the most common noncutaneous cancer in men. The recent introduction of Radium-223 dichloride, a bone-seeking alpha particle (α)-emitting radiopharmaceutical, demonstrates statistically significant survival benefit and palliative effect for bmCRPC patients. Clinical results have established safety and effica

Expression of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) in Human, Mouse, and Rat Urinary Bladder and Effects of FAAH Inhibition on Bladder Function in Awake Rats.

BACKGROUND: Cannabinoid receptor (CB)-mediated functions may be involved in the regulation of bladder function, but information on endocannabinoid signals during micturition is scarce. OBJECTIVE: Investigate the expression of the endocannabinoid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) in human, rat, and mouse bladders and study the effects of inhibition of FAAH during urodynamics in awa

Characterization of the platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor kinase activity by use of synthetic peptides

Synthetic peptides derived from the sequence surrounding tyrosine-857 in the human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor were used to elucidate the requirement for length and presence of negative and positively charged amino acids in substrates of the PDGF beta-receptor protein tyrosine kinase. The measured Km for the different peptides were all in the range 1-10 mM. A peptide of onl

High-order Harmonic-generation Using High-power Lasers

An introduction to high-power lasers and strong-field laser-atom interactions is given, and the main experimental and theoretical results concerning high-order harmonic generation are reviewed. The single atom response as well as the macroscopic phase-matching effect is discussed. The formation and extent of the characteristic plateau in the harmonic spectra are discussed in terms of a physical pi
