Graptolites and some trilobites from Middle–Upper Ordovician siliciclastic and calcareous rocks in Scania (Skåne), southern Sweden, and Jämtland, central Sweden, are described and discussed. Their stratigraphic distribution is discussed on the basis of new and old collections from outcrops and drill cores. The uppermost Middle–Upper Ordovician of Scania consists predominantly of mudstones and dark

Popular Abstract in Swedish Malignt melanom (även kallad melanom) är den farligaste formen av hudcancer. Dess incidens varierar från land till land och är den högsta i Australien, där 46.7 per 100,000 invånare drabbas årligen. I Sverige är melanom den sjätte vanligaste cancersjukdomen. Melanom har blivit allt vanligare under de senaste två decennierna. Om tumören upptäcks på ett tidigt, dvs. lokal

Background: Efficient utilization of both glucose and xylose is necessary for a competitive ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials. Although many advances have been made in the development of xylose-fermenting strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the productivity remains much lower compared to glucose. Previous transcriptional analyses of recombinant xylose-fermenting strains have mainl

Brottsoffer är ett ord med många konnotationer som har kritiserats för att antyda hjälplöshet och passivitet. Att kategoriseras som brottsoffer är inte alltid välkommet, men medför likväl fördelar, som till exempel möjligheten att driva en rättsprocess och tillgång till stöd och empati. I Sverige är Riksorganisationen Brottsofferjouren Sverige (BOJ) en viktig aktör när det gäller att ge brottsoffe

The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases consists of 10-15 members. The PKC isoforms have central roles in many essential cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, cytoskeletal changes, and migration. The PKC family can be subgrouped into classical, novel and atypical isoforms depending on structure and sensitivity to the activators diacylglycero

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med den här avhandlingen har varit att studera association och växelverkan mellan proteiner och polymerer. Två olika tekniker har använts i dessa studier; datorsimuleringar och fördelning i polymera vattenhaltiga tvåfassystem. Vikten av att studera protein-polymer-växelverkan ligger i att flera biotekniska, och medicinska tillämpningar baserar sig just på protei

Power supply systems play a very important role in applications of everyday life. Mainly, for low power generation, there are two ways of producing energy: electrochemical batteries and small engines. In the last few years many improvements have been carried out in order to obtain lighter batteries with longer duration but unfortunately the energy density of 1 MJ/kg seems to be an asymptotic value

The complexity of systems for automatic control and other safety-critical applications grows rapidly. Computer software represents an increasing part of the complexity. As larger systems are developed, we need to find scalable techniques to manage the complexity in order to guarantee high product quality. Memory management is a key quality factor for these systems. Automatic memory management, or

In line with current tendencies of ‘new modes of governance’, this essay introduces judicial tools, which strike a balance between the respect for national autonomy in individual assessments and the effective implementation of Community law. The balance is struck through the demands of structural guarantees; administrative safeguards, which weed out arbitrary national decision-making. These admini

Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments hexoses in lignocellulosic hydrolysates under anaerobic conditions with high rates and ethanol yields. However, S. cerevisiae is naturally unable to utilize the pentose fraction of the hydrolysates. Xylose is the most abundant pentose sugar, and although recombinant S. cerevisiae strains capable of ethanolic xylose fermentation have been obtained through metabolic
