  2. 1. Testosterone Analysis in Hair

    Author : Julia Preinbergs; Jakob Ström; Elvar Theodorsson; Edvin Ingberg; Ulrik Kvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The effects of testosterone in the body are dependent on the concentrations at the target organs, as well as the susceptibility of the androgen receptor. Steroid hormones circulate in the bloodstream bound to proteins, and only a small part is unbound and free to exert its effect at the receptors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hair cell regeneration in vestibular epithelia : a study in an in vitro model

    Author : Mimmi Werner; Diana Berggren; Andrew Forge; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vestibular hair cell; regeneration; transdifferentiation; proliferation; utricle; rat; oto-rhino-laryngologi; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology;

    Abstract : BackgroundHair cells (HCs) are the sensory receptors in both the auditory and the vestibular organs of the inner ear. Supporting cells (SCs) are non-sensory cells embracing the HCs. Injuries of the HCs by aging, acoustic trauma or ototoxic drugs (mainly aminoglycosides, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Efficient real-time visibility testing

    Author : Erik Sintorn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soft shadows; volumetric shadows; deep shadow-maps; order-independent transparency; hair; shadows; rendering; visibility;

    Abstract : Visibility testing is an integral part of many computer graphics algorithms. For example, algorithms that generate images with shadows, ambient occlusion, environment lighting or transparency all require an efficient means of establishing the visibility between two or more points in a virtual scene.

  6. 4. Trace Element Analysis with Application to Environmental Pollutants Studies in Vietnam

    Author : Thi Hong Nguyen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; blood; environmental samples; discriminant analysis; ICP-MS; coal mining; hair; EDXRF; microwave digestion; CV-AAS; urine; sample preparation; coal combustion;

    Abstract : In the work presented here the attention has been focused on optimising sample preparation and analytical techniques for trace element determination, analytical quality assurance and environmental applications. Trace element concentrations in various environmental matrices were investigated using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectro-metry (ICP-MS) and Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CV-AAS).

  7. 5. Analysis of domestic dog mitochondrial DNA sequence variation for forensic investigations

    Author : Helen Angleby; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biotechnology; forensics; mtDNA; control region; hair; domestic dog; breed; Bioteknik; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The first method for DNA analysis in forensics was presented in 1985. Since then, the introduction of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has rendered possible the analysis of small amounts of DNA and automated sequencing and fragment analysis techniques have facilitated the analyses.
