In this paper we set out to explore the prevalence of child undernutrition found in community studies in affluent societies, but a preliminary literature review revealed that, in the absence of a gold standard method of diagnosis, the prevalence largely depends on the measure, threshold and the growth reference used, as well as age. We thus go on to explore describe the common clinical ‘syndrom...

Gemcitabine (dFdC, 29,29-difluorodeoxycytidine) is metabolized by cytidine deaminase (CDA) and deoxycytidine kinase (DCK), but the contribution of genetic variation in these enzymes to the variability in systemic exposure and response observed in cancer patients is unclear. Wild-type enzymes and variants of CDA (Lys27Gln and Ala70Thr) and DCK (Ile24Val, Ala119Gly, and Pro122Ser) were expressed ...

The experimental component of P545 consisted of writing software to control an autonomous golf cart. Sensors on the cart included a GPS tracker, steering sensor, compass, and vision and ranging sensors Actuators included steering control, throttle, and braking. I did not utilize the cart’s braking capability in any of my experiments. Software was run on a full workstation, a Dell GX270, harness...

A Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a type of artificial neural network used to transform a data set of vectors into a set of lower dimensional vectors. The applications of this are wider than one might expect, but this is the heart of its purpose. The data are usually some set of vectors {x ∈ Rn}, but a SOM can work with any set of vectors that have a well-defined distance metric. The canonical exa...

L. Vättern is the second largest lake (approx. 130 x 30 km surface) in Sweden and one of the largest freshwater bodies (volume 74 km) in Europe (Fig. 1). The lake is of great national interest and is protected by law for recreation, national defense, natural and cultural interests, etc. L. Vättern is a unique ecosystem with glacial relicts as, e.g. the amphipods Monoporeia affinis, Gammaracanth...
