Genetisk variation hos vilda växter och djur i Sverige
A 5-hydroxymethyl furfural reducing enzyme encoded by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ADH6 gene conveys HMF tolerance
The fermentation of lignocellulose hydrolysates by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for fuel ethanol production is inhibited by 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), a furan derivative which is formed during the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials. The inhibition can be avoided if the yeast strain used in the fermentation has the ability to reduce HMF to 5-hydroxymethylfurfuryl alcohol. To enable the identi
XAFS experiments at beamline I811, MAX-lab synchrotron source, Sweden
A description of a new facility for X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the materials science beamline, I811, at MAX-lab synchrotron source, Lund, Sweden, is given. The beamline is based on a superconducting multipole wiggler source inserted in a straight section of the 1.5 GeV MAX-II ring. X-rays in the energy range 2.4- 12 keV are extracted by a standard optical scheme consisting of a vertical coll

The interaction between the ISO tapping machine and lightweight floors
The ISO standard tapping machine, used as an excitation source in rating the impact-sound level of a floor structure, interacts with the floor structure during the hammer impact. Expressions for the force spectrum due to the impact are presented. The 6 dB difference at low frequencies of the force spectrum, evident in measurements, and reasons for it, are discussed. The interaction is investigated
Energi för att bygga bruka riva småhus, Bo92 : Den nya trästaden
I denna rapport redovisas energiberäkningar för tre småhus på Bo 92 i Örebro. Syftet med rapporten är att beräkna och analysera det totala energibehovet och mängd byggnadsmaterial från 'vaggan till graven' för småhus. Med det totala energibehovet menas summan av energibehovet under produktion (materialtillverkning, materialtransporter och uppförande av byggnaden), förvaltning (brukande av byggnade
First observation of vibrations in core-level photoelectron spectra of free neutral molecular clusters
Core-level photoelectron spectra of free neutral methane clusters have been recorded. These spectra exhibit well-resolved surface and bulk features as well as vibrational fine structure. The vibrational structure in the cluster signal is well reproduced by a theoretical model that assumes independent contributions from inter- and intramolecular modes. The intramolecular contribution to the vibrati
Tolbutamide stimulates exocytosis of glucagon by inhibition of a mitochondrial-like ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) conductance in rat pancreatic A-cells
1. Capacitance measurements were used to examine the effects of the sulphonylurea tolbutamide on Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in isolated glucagon-secreting rat pancreatic A-cells. 2. When applied extracellularly, tolbutamide stimulated depolarization-evoked exocytosis 4.2-fold without affecting the whole-cell Ca2+ current. The concentration dependence of the stimulatory action was determined by intr
Water dimer in solid neon. Far-infrared spectrum
Infrared spectra of water and deuterated water isolated in neon matrices have been recorded between 20 and 5000 cm(-1). The water concentration has been varied between very low concentrations with only monomers present up to concentrations where pentamers and possibly hexamers are present in significant amounts. The concentration dependencies of the observed absorption bands have been used to assi
INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER - Aspects on staging and prognosis
Background: The difficulty of determining the prognosis for the individual patient with invasive bladder cancer is a major clinical problem. Currently, decisions regarding therapy are mainly based on tumour stage and grade, the first of which is notoriously demanding to ascertain. New molecular markers are however proposed to be of prognostic value. At present, there is considerable debate regardi
Static and Dynamic Modelling of the Drying Section of a Paper Machine
Popular Abstract in Swedish Papperstillverkning inkluderar flera processteg såsom flisning av träråvaran, massakokning och avvattning med vakuumlådor, pressning och torkning. Flera modeller av de mest viktiga processerna i torkpartiet presenteras i denna avhandling. Modellerna beskriver både statiska och dynamiska förlopp. Nya reglerstrategier som kan användas för både reglering vid stationär drifThe paper making process involves chopping of wood, cooking and forming, followed by dewatering in a vacuum section, press section and drying section. Several models for the most important parts of the paper machine drying section are presented in this thesis to describe phenomena at steady state and during state transitions. New control strategies applicable/useful for both steady-state control a

Electrical and thermal characterization of a PV-CPC hybrid
Long term evaluation of an asymmetric CPC PV-thermal hybrid built for high latitudes, MaRcCo (MaximumReflectorCollector), is performed in Lund, lat 55.7 degrees, and this paper discusses output estimates and characteristics of the system. The output estimates are calculated using the MINSUN simulation program. To get the input for MINSUN, measurements were performed on two MaReCo prototypes. These
Modelling and evaluation of the effects of traffic safety measures Comparative analysis of driving assistance systems and road infrastructure
Improvement of road traffic safety is an important policy issue. Various categories of meas-ures are available to effectuate this. The thesis focuses on two categories: road infrastructure and driv-ing assistance systems. A relevant policy question is if certain driving assistance systems may be de-sirable substitutes for infrastructure measures, in terms of traffic safety effects and other releva
Regulation of phospholipase D activity in neuroblastoma cells
The regulation of phospholipase D was studied in human neuroblastoma cells using phosphatidylethanol as a marker of the enzyme activity. Carbachol induced phospholipase D activity in SH-SY5Y cells. Muscarinic antagonists inhibited the response with potencies suggesting that muscarinic M1 receptors are responsible for the activation. In permeabilized SH-SY5Y cells, both the carbachol- and GTP gamma
Oil Spills in Öresund - Hazardous Events, Causes and Claims
Öresund is one of the areas in the world with most ship movements. More than 40,000 ships pass through the sound in the direction north-south or the opposite every year. Other ships/ferries frequently cross the sound in the direction east-west or west-east. The ships carry goods and/or passengers in huge volumes. Since Öresund is a quite narrow sound with a difficult navigation situation, many ris
Risky behavior in women with history of casual travel sex
PIP: The aim of this study was to define epidemiologic and psychosocial characteristics of women with a history of casual travel sex abroad. The participants were 996 women seeking contraceptive advice, of whom 276 admitted that they had experienced casual travel sex. The remaining women served as a comparison group. In structured interviews, questions were asked about educational level, partnersh
The tectonic evolution of the western part of the Svecofennian orogen, central Sweden : Insight from U/Pb and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology at Forsmark
Popular Abstract in Swedish Området runt Forsmarks kärnkraftverk i Östhammars kommun, ca 80 km norr om Uppsala, valdes år 2000 ut som en av två möjliga kandidater för byggandet av ett slutförvar för använt kärnbränsle. År 2002 startade SKB (Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB) en platsundersökning i området, vars syfte bland annat är att samla in tillräckligt mycket kunskap om berget och dess egenskapeThe Forsmark area, in the western part of the Svecofennian orogen, central Sweden, is situated between two major Palaeoproterozoic tectonic domains that show contrasting histories with respect to timing of igneous activity, ductile deformation and metamorphism. At Forsmark, WNW to NW trending, ductile deformation belts anastomose around tectonic lenses with an inferred lower degree of ductile stra
