Beta-Lactamase in Haemophilus ducreyi: Purification, Characterization, and Mutagenesis

Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, has been described as a significantly predisposing factor of HIV heterosexual transmission in an endemic region of both diseases. Antibiotic resistances are extensively found in H. ducreyi and many of the resistances are due to the presence of resistance plasmids. A high tendency of drug resistances has commonly been found among isolates derived in Thailan

Production of Ethanol from Spruce at High Solids Concentrations - An Experimental Study on Process Development of Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Intresset för förnybara bränslen har ökat stadigt under de senaste åren. Att byta ut fossila mot förnybara bränslen kan minska utsläppen av växthusgaser till atmosfären och därmed minska klimatpåverkan av dessa men även minska vårt beroende av olja. Biobränslen som t.ex. etanol, biodiesel eller biogas, räknas till förnybara bränslen eftersom de inte bidrar till en ackumReplacing fossil fuels by biofuels such as ethanol is considered a promising alternative to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigate climate change. Biofuels produced from lignocellulosic biomass, so-called second generation biofuels, result in decreased GHG emissions and limit competition with food and animal feed production. Interest in producing ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass ha

Cartilage homeostasis: Modulation of cells and extracelllar matrix assembly

The cartilage extracellular matrix consists of the collagen network which enmeshes the large aggregating proteoglycan, aggrecan. Accessory molecules regulate the formation and maintenance of these structures. This thesis studies aspects of cartilage assembly during development and its degradation in disease, focusing on the collagen network. In the first paper, a model of cartilage degradation is

Thrombotic occlusion of all left coronary branches in a young woman with severe ulcerative colitis

Background. The thrombosis risk is increased in active ulcerative colitis. The limited number of reported complications have predominantly been cerebrovascular but other vessel territories may also be affected. Patient. During a severe attack of ulcerative colitis a 37-year-old woman suffered occlusion of all left coronary artery branches. Serial angiographies showed progressive recanalisation of

Constructing a neural system for surface inspection

Visual quality assurance techniques focus on the detection and qualification of abnormal structures in the image of an object. The features of abnormality are extracted through image mining, whereupon classification is performed on characteristic combinations. Many techniques for feature extraction have been proposed, but the feed-forward neural network is seldom utilized despite its popularity in

Are the Sweden Democrats really Sweden’s largest party? A maximum likelihood ratio test on the simplex

In August 2015 a Swedish newspaper claimed that the Sweden Democrats were the largest political party in Sweden based on the results of single poll. We ask ourselves if this is a correct conclusion, considering the fact that the three largest parties in the poll were of roughly the same size. We analyse the parameter space and identify the subspace where the Sweden Democrats are the largest party.

Reality TV Experiences: Audiences, Fact, and Fiction

Three aspects of reality television experiences as fact/fiction are explored in this chapter in relation to audience research, using quantitative and qualitative data. First, there is the way various reality formats such as Got Talent and The Voice sell experiences to consumers, audiences, and publics. Second, sense and performance are part of the business of reality television and at the same tim
