Akaryotes and Eukaryotes are independent descendants of a universal common ancestor

We reconstructed a global tree of life (ToL) with non-reversible and non-stationary models of genome evolution that root trees intrinsically. We implemented Bayesian model selection tests and compared the statistical support for four conflicting ToL hypotheses. We show that reconstructions obtained with a Bayesian implementation (Klopfstein et al., 2015) are consistent with reconstructions obtaine

Educational gains in cause-specific mortality : Accounting for cognitive ability and family-level confounders using propensity score weighting

A negative educational gradient has been found for many causes of death. This association may be partly explained by confounding factors that affect both educational attainment and mortality. We correct the cause-specific educational gradient for observed individual background and unobserved family factors using an innovative method based on months lost due to a specific cause of death re-weighted

Cubosomes post-loaded with antimicrobial peptides : Characterization, bactericidal effect and proteolytic stability

Novel antibiotics, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), have recently attended more and more attraction. In this work, dispersed cubic liquid crystalline gel (cubosomes) was used as drug delivery vehicles for three AMPs (AP114, DPK-060 and LL-37). Association of peptides onto cubosomes was studied at two cubosome/peptide ratios using high performance liquid chromatography, ζ-potential and circul

Modeling of inhomogeneous compression effects of porous GDL on transport phenomena and performance in PEM fuel cells

A comprehensive, three-dimensional model of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell based on a steady state code has been developed. The model is validated and further be applied to investigate the effects of various porosity of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) below channel land areas, on thermal diffusivity, temperature distribution, oxygen diffusion coefficient, oxygen concentration, activation

Rac1 regulates sepsis-induced formation of platelet-derived microparticles and thrombin generation

Dysfunctional coagulation aggravates clinical outcome in patients with sepsis. The aim of this study was to define the role of Rac-1 in the formation of platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) and thrombin generation (TG) in abdominal sepsis. Male C57BL/6 mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry were used to quantify PMPs. TG was determined b

Draft genome of the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora cactorum strain LV007 isolated from European beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Phytophthora cactorum is a broad host range phytopathogenic oomycete. P. cactorum strain LV007 was isolated from a diseased European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Malmö, Sweden in 2016. The draft genome of P. cactorum strain LV007 is 67.81 Mb. It contains 15,567 contigs and 21,876 predicted protein-coding genes. As reported for other phytopathogenic Phytophthora species, cytoplasmic effector proteins

Reality TV Engagement: Producer and Audience Relations for Reality Talent Shows

This article focuses on media engagement within the reality television industry. Itdraws on qualitative research of production practices and audience participationin live reality events to explore the multiple meanings of engagement as a series ofrelationships between creative and executive producers, broadcasters, performers,and audiences. A key question concerns how do producers and audiencescoc

Tracking the reading eye : towards a model of real-world reading

Eye tracking has helped to understand the process of reading a word or a sentence, and this research has been very fruitful over the past decades. However, everyday real-world reading dramatically differs from this scenario: we read a newspaper on the bus, surf the Internet for movie reviews or browse folders at work to fill in forms. Therefore, we propose to structure eye-tracking research in rea

An exploration of consumers’ experiences in physical stores : comparing consumers’ and retailers’ perspectives in past and present time

In this paper, we explore consumers’ in-store experiences and their components, from both a consumer and retailer perspective. This is a replication of a study we performed in 2006 and thus we also examine how the role of the physical store has changed over the last decade. We use the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) to improve our understanding of consumers’ in-store experiences. Moreover, we co

Exploring store format development and its influence on store image and store clientele–the case of IKEA’s development of an inner-city store format

A changed technological landscape and radically changed consumer behavior are forcing retailers to rethink their business models, retail formats, and retail offerings. The global retailer IKEA is no exception in this development. Recently, the traditional IKEA format, which has been so successfully duplicated across the world over the years, has been complemented with other formats that are new an

Media Industries and Engagement: A Dialogue across Industry and Academia

This article focuses on media engagement within the industry. The article takesthe form of a dialogue between industry and academic researchers involved ina collaborative project on production and audience research on engagement(funded by the Wallenberg Foundation and in collaboration with Endemol ShineGroup). Speakers from the film and television industry, and academic researchersworking on media
