Carbon storage in the organic layers of boreal forest soils under various moisture conditions: A model study for Northern Sweden sites
A typical feature of the boreal forest landscape is a gradient from dry to wet sites, with associated increases in the depth of the soil organic layers. In this study, the coupled ecosystem-soil biogeochemistry model GUESS-ROMUL is used to explore how the specific features of soil organic matter decomposition and vegetation dynamics account for an observed difference between the soils formed under
Immunoregulatory differences between adult onset type 1 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA)
Popular Abstract in Swedish Autoimmun diabetes karakteriseras av cell medierad autoimmunitet mot insulinproducerande beta celler i Langerhanska öar. Typ 1 diabetes är den största typen av diabetes i barn och ungdomar och antas vara orsakad av Th1-cell drivet angrepp av beta celler. Den betydligt vanligare typ 2 diabetes antas inte vara en autoimmun sjukdom men diabetes specifika autoantikroppar (IAutoimmune diabetes is characterized by cell mediated autoimmunity against insulin producing beta cells in pancreatic islets. Type 1 diabetes is the major cause of diabetes in children and adolescents and is believed to be mediated by a Thl driven destruction of beta cells. The much more prevalent type 2 diabetes is not considered as an autoimmune disease but diabetes specific autoantibodies (ICA
Stability for the periodic Camassa-Holm equation
We use integrability to prove the stability of smooth periodic solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation. In particular, the smooth periodic traveling wave solutions are shown to be orbitally stable.
Positive-energy one-particle levels in quadrupole-deformed Woods-Saxon potentials
Positive-energy one-particle levels for neutrons in Y20 deformed Woods-Saxon potentials are examined using the eigenphase representation. Taking the example of =1/2+ levels, not only one-particle resonant levels but also all solutions in the eigenphase representation within a model space are studied. It is shown that a particular eigenphase solution among an infinite number of eigenphase solutions
Molecular nature of resonant x-ray scattering in solid LiNO3
Resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy has been applied to study radiative decay processes following the N 1s near-edge excitations in solid LiNO3. It has been shown that the origin of both nonresonant and resonant spectra are essentially molecular, their shape being primarily determined by the electron transitions between molecular orbitals of the quasiisolated NO3- anion. A strong low-energy sideb
Regulation of Ca2+ channel and phosphatase activities by polyamines in intestinal and vascular smooth muscle - implications for cellular growth and contractility.
Polyamines added extracellularly to intestinal and vascular smooth muscle cells cause relaxation through inhibition of Ca2+ channel activity. Intracellularly applied polyamines also affect Ca2+ channel properties. Polyamines do not readily pass over the plasma membrane because of their positive charges but in permeabilized smooth muscle preparations they have free access to the cytoplasm. In this

Sst II polymorphic sites in the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene
By direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA from different individuals, three point mutations have been found in a 220-bp fragment from the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene. The three mutations are all localized within a short segment of 85 bp on the same allele. One of the base substitutions results in the generation of a novel SstII restriction site and anot
Risk, information and incentives in telecom supply chains
Supply chain management involves the selection, coordination and motivation of independently operated suppliers. The central planner's perspective in operations management translates poorly to vertically separated chains, where suppliers recurrently seem to object to benevolent information sharing and centralized decision rights. Seen from the supplier's perspective, such resistance may very well

Genomic structure of mouse SPI-C and genomic structure and expression pattern of human SPI-C.
Erythroblast transformation-specific domain (ETS) transcription factors regulate some of the critical molecular mechanisms controlling the differentiation of multipotent haematopoietic progenitor cells into effector B-lymphocytes. The SPI-group ETS-protein transcription factors PU.1 and SPI-B play essential and, although coexpressed and binding to similar DNA sequences, unique roles in B-cell diff
Genetic heterogeneity of autoimmune disorders in the nonobese diabetic mouse.
The nonobese diabetic mouse is highly susceptible not only to diabetes but to several autoimmune diseases, and one might suspect that these are controlled by a shared set of genes. However, based on various gene-segregation experiments, it seems that only a few loci are shared and that each disorder is influenced also by a unique set of genes.
Coronary flow and flow reserve in children
Aortic blood pressure affects coronary blood flow, but within the normal physiological blood pressure range coronary blood flow is constant. The coronary flow is pulsatile, being maximal in the early diastole. There is a smaller systolic flow component. The low systolic pressure in the right ventricle favours systolic flow. The proportion of systolic flow is greater in the right than in the left c
An anti-EGF monoclonal antibody that detects intramolecular communication in factor IX
Coagulation factor IX contains a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) module, two epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) modules, and a serine protease region. We have characterized a mouse monoclonal antibody that binds the N-terminal EGF-like module of human factor IX with high affinity. Studies of recombinant factor IX mutants indicated that the epitope is located in the C-terminal end of the EGF-like

EFFECTOR T CELL HOMING TO THE SMALL INTESTINAL MUCOSA
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett väl fungerande immunförsvar har kapaciteten att särskilja och oskadliggöra en ofantlig mängd sjukdomsframkallande ämnen och organismer. Immunförsvarets förmåga att skilja strukturer på främmande ämnen från våra egna strukturer i kroppen är viktig, eftersom försvaret annars kan angripa kroppens egna vävnader. Det är denna del av immunförsvaret som inte fungerar då auThe intestinal mucosa, including the intestinal epithelium and underlying lamina propria (LP), contains a large number of effector/memory T cells that are thought to play a central role in the generation and maintenance of mucosal immune responses and in maintaining mucosal integrity. The work in this thesis investigates the mechanisms regulating effector T cell recruitment to the small intestinal
