Popular Abstract in English Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is known as the father of microbiology, because he made the first microscopic observation of bacteria in human history, published in 1683. For the naked human eyes, bacterial cells are too small to observe, and the development of microscopy techniques has since then been fundamental for examining bacterial cells. Recent advances in visualizing toCoiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. The best studied examples of the latter are crescentin in Caulobacter crescentus that determines the curved cell shape, and FilP (filament forming-p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den föreliggande doktorsavhandlingen handlar om en kärnfysikalisk modell, kallad cranking-modellen, för beräkningar av egenskaper hos snabbt roterande atomkärnor. I modellen tvingas ett deformerat (icke-klotformat) kraftfält att rotera kring en axel genom masscentrum, samtidigt som partiklarna i atomkärnan, protonerna och neutronerna, rör sig i sina s.k. banor inuti denThe nuclear model for three dimensional cranking is extended to include a generalization of the Strutinski renormalization procedure from principal axis cranking to cranking about an tilted axis. A new computer code has been written for realistic, full-scale calculations within the three dimensional cranking model. The code is developed for calculations to produce output of high precision to allow

Since November 2012 all citizens in Uppsala County in Sweden have access to their medical record on the internet sight “my health contacts”. This is the first step in a EU deployment- project where a total of 12 different eHealth services will be launched over time. The IT director of the county has engaged himself in the idea of medical records and other eHealth services since 1997 and has had se

INTRODUCTION Preshivering thermogenesis (developing muscle tension) may not be noticed in static situations due to reduced metabolism under mild body cooling. This paper describes the observations of metabolic and heart rate changes under mild body cooling. METHODS Eight men participated in the study. The subjects were dressed in shorts, socks and shoes, and were seated. The air temperature (32 °C

In this paper we explore the concept of “architectural object” as a representation of a real “situation” involving people, behavior, experience and environment. The purpose is to define a selection of possible configurable architectural objects that reflect the variability of situations possible to achieve using an industrialised building system. The paper presents a theoretical foundation for org

This thesis is concerned with uncovering the organisational structure underpinning Open University television programmes in scientific and technological fields. Using a genre analysis which takes into account the unique contextual configuration in which vision and pedagogical purpose play a vital part a rhetorical structure is revealed. This structure is based essentially on a string of Episodes.

Erland Nordenskiöld, son till den berömde Adolf Nordenskiöld, Nordostpassagens upptäckare, var liksom sin far forskningsresande, men hans blickar riktades mot sydligare områden. Han startade sin karriär som zoolog med en resa till Patagonien 1899. Under följande expeditioner till Argentina, Bolivia och Peru kom dock hans intresse att allt mer koncentreras till den indianska befolkningen – med den

There are many possible definitions of “technology” and I will discuss some of these in this book. However, in this introduction let me use a definition of Svante Lindqvist who defines technology very intuitively as “those activities, directed towards the satisfaction of human wants, which produce change in the material world.” He says also “the distinction between human “wants” and more limited h
