Abstract:
<p>At Kiviks Musteri AB, situated in the southeast part of Scania, a wide variety of products based on fruits and berries, are produced. One of these products is base apple wine, which is used for the production of cider and mulled wine and also is sold to other producers of cider. A foaming problem has occurred at some customers when the cider is bottled, and this problem has been traced to the base wine. The aim of this paper is to investigate what causes the foaming and how the foaming is affected by the clarifying agents used during the production of the wine. An investigation whether sili

Secondary leach concentrate (SLC) is an important bleed stream for minor elements from Anglo Platinum's Base Metal Refinery (BMR) which produces copper nickel and cobalt sulphate.

The SLC is currently toll-refined at Umicore's Hoboken smelter and refinery to recover revenue from entrapped valuable metals. This method of treatment results in excessively high costs due to high transport and toll refining expenses as well as penalties. Thus, an in-house m

Abstract:
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease which leads to right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and possibly death. The pathophysiological process of PAH remains unclear but oxidative stress is thought to contribute to arterial and ventricular dysfunction. Red wine has powerful antioxidant properties and is cardioprotective. However, side effects of alcohol may limit the use of wine as a therapeutic agent. The aim of this study was to test whether reduced-alcohol red wine (RARW) or regular red wine (RW) consumption would limit monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH in rats.

The enhanced academic eligibility rules increase minimum GPA and test score as well as mandates strict core course requirements, prioritizing the role of a high school counselor in the entire process.

Abstract:
Colorectal cancer is a disease caused by genetic and epigenetic changes. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes are key landmarks in tumor progression. However, the list of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes is far from complete, even in the case of the tumor types that are best characterized, such as colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death in the Western world and is a serious health issue for the European Union. Patients having stage III or IV cancer undergo surgery followed by chemotherapy. However, the cli

Nevertheless, given the large number of variables related to these abnormal behaviors, all conclusions reached until today remain questionable. Furthermore, it is also possible that the real determining factor of these behavioral problems is simply the incapacity of horses

Abstract:
Decades of work has led researchers to believe that risk for complex behavioral phenotypes, such as alcohol use disorders, is likely influenced by multiple genes of small effect acting in conjunction with each other and the environment. Currently, the field of psychiatric genetics is developing methodologies for the identification of genetic risk variants that predispose individuals to the development of complex behavioral disorders. Several challenges related to the complex and polygenic nature of these phenotypes, must be considered. This dissertation study attempts to address these importan

Abstract:
The aetiology of common diseases is shaped by the effects of genetic and environmental factors. Big efforts have been devoted to unravel the genetic basis of disease with the hope that it will help to develop new therapeutic treatments and to achieve personalized medicine. With the development of high-throughput genotyping technologies, hundreds of association studies have described many loci associated to disease. However, the depiction of disease architecture remains incomplete. The aim of this work is to perform exhaustive comparisons across human populations to evaluate pressing questions.

Les lesions es van localitzar per ecografia o estereotàxia. Les tumorectomies es van fer , en el primer grup seguint la direcció de l'ham des de l'entrada fins la punta, i en el segon grup amb l'ajuda d'una sonda gammadetectora que indicava el lloc de

Abstract:
Obesity is a serious public health crisis and recent estimates of its incidence are the highest in United States history, with 35% and 17% of American adults and children affected, respectively. The clinical definition of adult obesity is operationalized as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2. Although the prevalence of common obesity has increased dramatically over the past 30 years–largely thought to be due to changes in the environment, such as high calorie diets and sedentary lifestyles—twin and family studies have shown consistently that relative body weight is under considerabl
