The conservation value of sandy habitats for a flora and fauna adapted to open, light, dry, warm, and often nutrient-poor conditions, is well recognized. Today this environment is threatened by lack of disturbance, fragmentation and exploitation, acidification and increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Traditional management such as mowing and grazing have proven unsuitable for restoring pop
Catalytic breakdown of polysaccharides can be achieved more efficiently by means of the enzymes lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). However, the LPMO mechanism has remained controversial, preventing full exploitation of their potential. One of the controversies has centered around an active site tyrosine, present in most LPMO classes. Recent investigations have for the first time obtained
An evaluation has been made of the capability of rapeseed oil to dissolve polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) crystals in a biphasic system and of its capability to extract PAHs from polluted soil in a two-liquid-phase (TLP) slurry system. Up to 220 g l(-1) of the crystalline hydrocarbons could be dissolved in the organic phase, indicating oil/water-partitioning coefficients of 10(5). When soil
The funnel metadynamics method enables rigorous calculation of the potential of mean force along an arbitrary binding path and thereby evaluation of the absolute binding free energy. A problem of such physical paths is that the mechanism characterizing the binding process is not always obvious. In particular, it might involve reorganization of the solvent in the binding site, which is not easily c
Handeln med varumärkesförfalskade produkter, som länge har ansetts som en ganska harmlös företeelse som konsumenten varit väl införstådd med, har utvecklats till en väloljad miljardindustri där såväl rättighetsinnehavaren, samhället och konsumenten riskerar att lida skada. De varumärkesförfalskade produkterna består inte längre av dåligt imiterade solglasögon utan av professionellt utformade kopioCounterfeiting has long been considered a rather harmless phenomenon. However, counterfeiting has evolved from a small-scale activity into one on an industrial scale. It has come to pose a serious threat, not only to the interests of the right holder, but to the consumers and the society as a whole. Counterfeit products are no longer just poorly crafted copies of sunglasses; today they are profess
Abstract To estimate the timescale of hepatitis B virus (HBV) evolutionary history and analyzing its phylogeographic patterns, publically available HBV sequences were collected from GenBank. Among those, 412 sequences were from genotype A and 566 sequences were from genotype D. These sequences comprised the entire genome and represented samples obtained between 1982 and 2009 from different parts
PowerPoint Presentation | www.ebsco.com1 UX process and methods Mats Påhlsson, Region Sales Manager | www.ebsco.com2 What is “UX”? All products have a user experience (UX). UX practice comprises a set of principles and methods designed to put user needs at the center of product decision-making to ensure that it’s a good user experience. UX research (UXR) is the process by which user needs are disc

Uppsatsen syftar till att belysa det skydd företags know-how åtnjuter i samband med avtalsförhandlingar, genom avtal och lag samt enligt allmänna rättsgrundsatser. Detta görs genom att behandla FHL, avtal om sekretess, vitesklausuler, skiljeklausuler samt lojalitetsplikten. I dagens marknadsekonomi är know-how allt viktigare tillgångar för företagen. Den kunskap och erfarenhet som know-how I Natio
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a key role in linking terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles. Most of the work on soil and water DOC has been conducted in temperate watersheds. There is still a gap in knowledge on DOC dynamics within the tropics. This study assesses water extractable organic carbon (WEOC) in topsoils and describes the relationship between WEOC and land use/land cover (LULC), s
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome. W

In the broad field of biology, our researchers study everything from small cells to large ecosystems. Research projects include the forces of evolution, unsung heroes of the soil, how animals navigate and seeking answers to the mystery of ageing. Animals with unique abilitiesHow do birds, insects and some other animal groups manage to keep a straight course over long distances? The fascinating abi

Limiting climate Impact of plastics “Solutions to limit the climate impact of plastics” was the topic of the 2018 Climathon in Lund. The 24 hour hackathon gathered 54 participants and was thereby one of the larger among the 113 Climathons held simultaneous all around the world. Climathon in Lund was organised by a consortia of five very different organisations, Lunds Universitet, Lunds Kommun, Sys

BACKGROUND: Hair cosmetics such as hair dyes, bleaching, waving, and cleansing products are composed of numerous chemical ingredients. Allergic reactions to these contact allergens, other than p-phenylenediamine, are rarely reported.OBJECTIVES: To study the incidence of patch test reactions to hair cosmetic allergens and identify the factors associated with hair cosmetic allergy in Thailand.METHOD
Procedural sedation and analgesia outside the operating theater have become standard care in managing pain and anxiety in children undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The objectives of this study are to describe the current pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia practice patterns in European emergency departments, to perform a needs assessment-like analysis, and to identify barr
The interaction of blood coagulation factor X and its Gla-containing fragments with negatively charged phospholipid membranes composed of 25 mol% phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and 75 mol% phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) was studied by surface plasmon resonance. The binding to 100 mol% PtdCho membranes was negligible. The calcium dependence in the membrane binding was evaluated for intact bovine factor
Matching habitat choice is a habitat preference mechanism based on self-assessment of local performance, such that individuals settle in the habitats that are best suited to their phenotypes, promoting local adaptation. Despite the important evolutionary implications of matching habitat choice, examples from natural populations are rare. One possible reason for this apparent rarity is that phenoty
While the so-called “end of public space” literature, focusing on encroachment of private interests and state surveillance, has contributed to critical thinking of access (or the lack thereof) to public space, and the loss of publicity of public space, the conceptual tools such literature offers to understand contestations in and over public space have remained underdeveloped or, at best, underexp
