- The primary scientific goal of the GRIPS mission is to revolutionize our understanding of the early universe using gamma-ray bursts. We propose a new generation gamma-ray observatory capable of unprecedented spectroscopy over a wide range of gamma-ray energies (200 keV-50 MeV) and of polarimetry (200-1000 keV). The gamma-ray sensitivity to nuclear absorption features enables the measurement of column densities as high as 10(28)cm (-aEuro parts per thousand 2). Secondary goals achievable by this mission include direct measurements of all types of supernova interiors through gamma-rays from radioactive decays, nuclear astrophysics with massive stars and novae, and studies of particle acceleration near compact stars, interstellar shocks, and clusters of galaxies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We reassessed the circumscription of the cantharelloid clade and identified monophyletic groups by using nLSU, nSSU, mtSSU and RPB2 sequence data. Results agreed with earlier studies that placed the genera Cantharellus, Craterellus, Hydnum, Clavulina, Membranomyces, Multiclavula, Sistotrema, Botryobasidium and the family Ceratobasidiaceae in that clade. Phylogenetic analyses support monophyly of all genera except Sistotrema, which was highly polyphyletic. Strongly supported monophyletic groups were: (i) Cantharellus-Craterellus, Hydnum, and the Sistotrema confluens group; (ii) Clavulina-Membranomyces and the S. brinkmannii-oblongisporum group, with Multiclavula being possibly sister of that clade; (iii) the Sistotrema eximum-octosporum group; (iv) Sistotrema adnatum and S. coronilla. Positions of Sistotrema raduloides and S. athelioides were unresolved, as were basal relationships. Botryobasidium was well supported as the sister taxon of all the above taxa, while Ceratobasidiaceae was the most basal lineage. The relationship between Tulasnella and members of the cantharelloid clade will require further scrutiny, although there is cumulative evidence that they are probably sister groups. The rates of molecular evolution of both the large and small nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (nuc-rDNA) are much higher in Cantharellus, Craterellus and Tulasnella than in the other cantharelloid taxa, and analyses of nuc-rDNA sequences strongly placed Tulasnella close to Cantharellus-Craterellus. In contrast analyses with RPB2 and mtSSU sequences placed Tulasnella at the base of the cantharelloid clade. Our attempt to reconstruct a "supertree" from tree topologies resulting from separate analyses that avoided phylogenetic reconstruction problems associated with missing data and/or unalignable sequences proved unsuccessful.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We compared combination fibrinolytic plus glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy with stand-alone fibrinolysis with respect to speed and stability of reperfusion in patients who had acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; data were obtained from 654 patients in 4 trials (Integrilin to Manage Platelet Aggregation to Combat Thrombosis in Acute Myocardial Infarction, Platelet Aggregation Receptor Antagonist Dose Investigation and Reperfusion Gain in Myocardial Infarction, Integrilin and Tenecteplase in Acute Myocardial Infarction, and the Fifth Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries) that compared thrombolytics plus lamifiban, eptifibatide, or abciximab with standard thrombolysis. We found significantly faster and more stable ST-segment recovery with combination therapy starting at 60 minutes (56.7% vs 48.0% with >/=50% ST-segment resolution, p = 0.03) and sustained over 180 minutes after drug administration; this transient benefit may suggest a time frame when more optimal percutaneous coronary intervention can be performed.

- The synthesis and low-temperature X-ray crystal structures of five new silver complexes, [Ag2-μ-O,O'(2-aminonicotinium)2(NO3)2]n (7), [Ag(isonicotinamide)2-μ-O,O'(NO3)]2 (8), [Ag(ethyl nicotinate)2](NO3) (9), [Ag(ethyl isonicotinate)2(NO3)] (10), and [Ag(methyl isonicotinate)2(H2O)](NO3) (11), are presented and fully characterized by spectral and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activities of these complexes were screened using 12 different clinical isolates belonging to four pathogenic bacteria, S. aureus, S. pyogenes, P. mirabilis, and Ps. Aeruginosa, all obtained from diabetic foot ulcers. These tested bacteria were resistant for at least 10 antibiotics commonly used for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Compounds 7 and 8 had considerable activity against Ps. Aeruginosa (MIC values 2-8 µg/mL), compound 9 against S. aureus (MIC 4-16 µg/mL) and S. pyogenes (MIC 2-4 µg/mL), and also 9 and 11 against P. mirabilis (MIC 1-16 µg/mL). All complexes were non-toxic for daphnia at concentrations above 512 µg/mL overnight.

The phylogenetic distribution of resupinate forms across the major clades of mushroom-forming fungi (Homobasidiomycetes)
- 2005

Ingår i: Systematics and Biodiversity. - 1477-2000. ; 3:2, s. 113-157

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Phylogenetic relationships of resupinate Homobasidiomycetes (Corticiaceae s. lat. and others) were studied using ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences from a broad sample of resupinate and nonresupinate taxa. Two datasets were analysed using parsimony, a core dataset of 142 species, each of which is represented by four rDNA regions (mitochondrial and nuclear large and small subunits), and a full dataset of 656 species, most of which were represented only by nuclear large subunit rDNA sequences. Both datasets were analysed using traditional heuristic methods with bootstrapping, and the full dataset was also analysed with the Parsimony Ratchet, using equal character weights and six-parameter weighted parsimony. Analyses of both datasets supported monophyly of the eight major clades of Homobasidiomycetes recognised by Hibbett and Thorn, as well as independent lineages corresponding to the Gloeophyllum clade, corticioid clade and Jaapia argillacea. Analyses of the full dataset resolved two additional groups, the athelioid clade and trechisporoid clade (the latter may be nested in the polyporoid clade). Thus, there are at least 12 independent clades of Homobasidiomycetes. Higher-level relationships among the major clades are not resolved with confidence. Nevertheless, the euagarics clade, bolete clade, athelioid clade and Jaapia argillacea are consistently resolved as a monophyletic group, whereas the cantharelloid clade, gomphoid-phalloid clade and hymenochaetoid clade are placed at the base of the Homobasidiomycetes, which is consistent with the preponderance of imperforate parenthesomes in those groups. Resupinate forms occur in each of the major clades of Homobasidiomycetes, some of which are composed mostly or exclusively of resupinate forms (athelioid clade, corticioid clade, trechisporoid clade, Jaapia). The largest concentrations of resupinate forms occur in the polyporoid clade, russuloid clade and hymenochaetoid clade. The cantharelloid clade also includes many resupinate forms, including some that have traditionally been regarded as heterobasidiomycetes (Sebacinaceae, Tulasnellales, Ceratobasidiales). The euagarics clade, which is by far the largest clade in the Homobasidiomycetes, has the smallest fraction of resupinate species. Results of the present study are compared with recent phylogenetic analyses, and a table summarising the phylogenetic distribution of resupinate taxa is presented, as well as notes on the ecology of resupinate forms and related Homobasidiomycetes

- In the crystal structures of the title compounds, C12H12N42+·2BF4-, (I), and C12H11N4+·ClO4-, (II), respectively, infinite two- and one-dimensional architectures are built up via N-H...F [in (I)] and conventional N-H...N [in (II)] hydrogen bonding. The N-N single bond in (I) lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry; as a result, the two pyridinium rings are parallel. In (II), the pyridinium and pyridyl ring planes are inclined with a dihedral angle of 14.45(3)°.

- The title bis-nicotinate zinc chloride, [Zn(C6H4NO2)Cl(C6H5NO2)]n, has an infinite head-to-tail one-dimensional chain structure. The compound was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. The ZnII atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The structure is statistically disordered, with 0.5 site occupancy for the Zn atom and the H atom located on the pyridine N atom. As a result, Zn positions in the crystal structure alternate between two sites related by a crystallographic twofold axis and rows of molecules are formed, supported by strong N-H...O hydrogen bonds.

- Several lines of evidence indicate a causal role of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 in the development of type 2 diabetes in humans. Two common polymorphisms in the promoter of the IL-6 encoding gene IL6, −174G>C (rs1800795) and −573G>C (rs1800796), have been investigated for association with type 2 diabetes in numerous studies but with results that have been largely equivocal. To clarify the relationship between the two IL6 variants and type 2 diabetes, we analyzed individual data on >20,000 participants from 21 published and unpublished studies. Collected data represent eight different countries, making this the largest association analysis for type 2 diabetes reported to date. The GC and CC genotypes of IL6 −174G>C were associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes (odds ratio 0.91, P = 0.037), corresponding to a risk modification of nearly 9%. No evidence for association was found between IL6 −573G>C and type 2 diabetes. The observed association of the IL6 −174 C-allele with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes provides further evidence for the hypothesis that immune mediators are causally related to type 2 diabetes; however, because the association is borderline significant, additional data are still needed to confirm this finding.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three new cadmium(II) complexes, namely [Cd(Qux)2(H2O)]n (1), [Cd(Quz)2(N3)2]n (2) and [Cd(dmpz)(N3)2]n (3) (Qux = quinoline-4-carboxylato anion, Quz = quinazoline, dmpz = 2,5-dimethylpyrazine), have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. The structure of 1 contains CdO6 slightly distorted octahedral geometry around the Cd(II) atoms, axialy coordinated to two bridging water molecules forming the 1D chain and four oxygen atoms from four different μ-O,O′-bridging caboxylato groups of (Qux) in the equatorial plane. The 1D chains are further held together through hydrogen bonds between the μ-aqua molecule and the meta non-coordinated nitrogen atom of the quinoline moiety. In complex 2, two quinazoline ligands are linked to the central Cd(II) ion in a trans position through the meta hetero nitrogen atom and di(EE), (μ1,3-N3) groups and show a two dimensional (2D) topology. In complex 3 the central cadmium(II) atom is simultaneously coordinated to di(EE), (μ1,3-N3) groups (NCdN, 180.0°) forming a sheet structure in the bc plane and further bridging μ-N,N′-dimethylpyrazine ligand in the a-direction (NCdN, 180.0°) giving rise to a 3D network structure. The IR spectra of the three complexes were measured and they confirm the X-ray structural data.

- The two compounds [FeII(pyridine)2(N3)2(H2O)] (1) and [FeII(4-acetylpyridine)2(N3)2] (2) were prepared. The X-ray crystal structures show end-to-end (EE) bridging azides in both cases with a 1D Fe-NNN-Fe chain for 1 and a 2D Fe-NNN-Fe net in 2. Both compounds show similar magnetic behaviour where the high-temperature data are consistent with antiferromagnetic couplings and the low-temperature data indicate ferrimagnetic ordering based on spin canting at 20 and 45 K. Compound 2 also shows a hysteresis loop. These findings are compared to the related 3D coordination polymer [Fe(N3)2(4,4'-bipyridine)]. According to network analyses the latter compound was shown to contain the new uninodal six-connected-network topology (510 · 64 · 7)-jsm.

- Two new polymeric derivatives of the (azido)MnII system with formula [Mn(H2O)(μ-N3)(N3)(quinaz)2]n (1) and [Mn(μ-N3)2(quinaz)2]n (2) (quinaz = quinazoline) have been structurally and magnetically characterised. Compound 1 crystallises in the triclinic system, space group P-1, and consists of 1D chains with single end-to-end azido bridges. These chains give a two-dimensional supramolecular arrangement by means of H-bond interactions. Compound 2 crystallises in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, and contains a square alternating 2D network bridged by azido ligands in the end-to-end coordination mode. Compound 2 exhibits some unusual features, such as the unprecedented linear coordination of the azido bridge. Magnetic analysis reveals moderate antiferromagnetic coupling, with J values in good agreement with the expected range, as a function of the Mn-N-N bond angles.

- The synthesis and low temperature crystal structures of [Ag(quinoxaline)]n(NO3)n, 1, [Ag(2,5-dimethylpyrazine)(NO3)]n, 2 and [Ag4(3-aminopyridine)4(NO3)4]n 3 are presented. The quinoxaline compound forms a 1D coordination polymer with the characteristic linear 2-coordination figure of silver(I), the NAgN angle being 164.2(1)°, and only weak silvernitrate interactions. In addition there is an interaction giving pairs of parallel chains as the main structural theme. The 2,5-dimethylpyrazine compound has approximately trigonal-planar coordination, also binding one nitrate at the relatively short AgO distances 2.444(3)Å and 2.484(3)Å, respectively, for the two crystallographically different silver atoms. This also results in a 1D coordination polymer that, despite the large differences in the Ag(I) coordination environment, is isostructural with 1. [Ag4(3-aminopyridine)4(NO3)4]n 3 forms a 2D coordination polymer by bridging nitrate ions. The antimicrobial activity of 13, and also of [Ag3(2-aminopyridine)4](NO3)3, 4 was screened for 13 different pathogens and substantial activity was shown for 1 against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC 4 µg cm3) and somewhat lower activity was registered against Sarcina lutea and Salmonella typhi for 1, Bordetella bronchiseptica for 2, Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for 3, and Escherichia coli and Shigella sonnie for 3 (MIC 8 µg cm3). Only low activity was shown against the yeast Candida albicans for 1, 2 and 4 whereas no activity against this pathogen was registered for 3.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two new MnII one-dimensional compounds with formulae [Mn(μ-N3)2(pyzamid)2]n (1) and [Mn2(3-ampy)4(μ-N3)2(N3)2(H2O)2]n, (2) (pyzamid = pyrazineamide and 3-ampy = 3-aminopyridine) were structurally and magnetically characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, P2/c space group, and polymerizes through double end-on azido bridges giving 1D chains with the MnII atoms in a MnN6 environment. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic system, P-1 space group, and consists of alternate [Mn(3-ampy)2(μ-N3)2(N3)2] and [Mn(3-ampy)2(μ-N3)2(H2O)2] octahedrons (MnN6 - MnN4O2 environments), linked by single end-to-end azido bridges. Both chains show very uncommon topologies. Attemps to obtain manganese/azido derivatives with the qux = quinoline-4-carboxylato anion gave the recently reported compound [Mn(μ-qux)2(μ-H2O)]n (3), which consists of a chain with only carboxylato and aqua bridges with the MnII atoms in a MnO6 slightly distorted octahedron. In good agreement with the expected behavior, magnetic susceptibility measurements show weak ferromagnetic interactions for 1, whereas compound 2 exhibits moderate antiferromagnetic coupling.

- The structures of three compounds from the system Ba(C2O4)m(HC2O4)n(H2C2O4)p(H2O)q have been structurally reinvestigated by low-temperature X-ray diffraction. Ba(C2O4)(H2O)2, 1, Ba(C2O4)(H2C2O4)(H2O)2, 2, and Ba(C2O4)0.5(HC2O4)(H2O), 3. The compounds are composed of three-dimensional coordination network structures with bridging oxalates and water molecules. Compound 1 is binodal, four and five connected with topology (4462)(4466)-tcs; 2 contains the common 66-dia net and 3 displays the new uniform network topology 610-loh. Together with the recently reported 610-ghw and 610-rld-z nets, and the 610-fnu net, the loh net forms a subclass of five-connected 610-nets based on the distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination.
