Våren 1999 handlade Folkkultursarkivets årliga frågelista om mathushållning med tyngdpunkt på dagens förhållanden. Frågelistan "Vad har vi för mat i dag?" väckte stort intresse och sammanlagt kom det in 161 svar som omfattar drygt 1000 sidor text. Åldersspridningen var stor. De äldsta svarade är födda 1910-talet, de yngsta 1990-talet. Därmed återspeglas så gott hela 1900-talet frågesvaren efter...

Differences in cell morphology, concanavalin A-induced receptor redistributions, and the cooperativity of the inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase (AMPase) by concanavalin A (Con A) have been investigated in ascites sublines of the 13762 rat mammary adenocarcinoma cells treated with microfilament- and microtubule-perturbing drugs. By scanning electron microscopy MAT-C1 cells exhibit a highly irregular...

We present a novel sensorized mat for monitoring infant's posture through the measure of pressure maps. The pressure-sensitive mat is based on an optoelectronic technology developed in the last few years at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna: a soft silicone skin cover, which constitutes the mat, participates in the transduction principle and provides the mat with compliance. The device has a modular s...

Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) is an endocrine organ with the potential to influence skeletal remodeling and hematopoiesis. Pathologic MAT expansion has been studied in the context of severe metabolic challenge, including caloric restriction, high fat diet feeding, and leptin deficiency. However, the rapid change in peripheral fat and glucose metabolism associated with these models impedes our abi...

MAT Surface Representation Christoph M. Ho mann Pamela J. Vermeery Abstract A vital issue to considerwhen exploiting themedial axis transform (MAT) as an object representation in its own right is whether the object recovered by the conversion process is a valid object. The general criterion for validity is that the recovered object should have no self-intersections. While any curve or surface c...

Most eukaryotes possess the highly-conserved enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) that produces S-adenosyl-l-methionine, a molecule essential to a variety of cellular processes. However, a recent study revealed that genomes of a very few eukaryote lineages encode a highly divergent type of MAT (called MATX), instead of the canonical MAT enzyme. Since MATX-containing eukaryotes are phylog...

It has been shown that changes of intracellular levels of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) are related to the well beings of cells and organisms. The fluctuation of SAM level is cause by imbalance between SAM synthesis and metabolic pathways (methylation, transsulfuration and aminiopropylation) or degradation. S-adenosylmethionine biosynthesis is strictly and solely dependent on the activity of Methi...
