Plants need light to convert earbon dioxide to organic compounds, but when exposed to too much light the photosynthetic machinery takes damage. This is prevented by conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, which participate in a process that converts the excess light into heat. The conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin is done by the enzyme violaxanthin de-epoxidase. VDE from spinach have bee

The aim of this paper is to identify wage gaps attributable to discrimination in labor markets as consequence of discrimination in endowments such as education. For this purpose, the paper analyzes supply and demand-side of labor market, in order to establish a base line for the econometric analysis. Some indexes and descriptive data were provided in order to give more support to the econometric

Wind power developments in cold and icing conditions pose new challenges to the wind power industry. Icing of wind turbines cause safety hazards, production losses and increased loads. This means that there is a need to develop a technique to quantify the icing climatology and corresponding eects on wind turbines to enable large scale wind power developments in the windy, sparesly populated areas

Syftet med den här undersökningen är att belysa förkunskapens betydelse genom att titta på hur resultatet ser ut på sista frågan på nationella provets läsförståelsedel i svenska 1 och svenska som andraspråk 1. Vidare kommer ett ordkunskapstest i två delar utföras för att titta på elevernas ordkunskap. Syftet är att jämföra resultatet mellan eleverna som har svenska som förstaspråk och de som har s

The municipality is planning for the citizens and therefore the citizens should be one of the primary tools to use during the planning process. In this thesis were going to analyze a project, Fokus Dalby. It´s a project that helps the citizens of Dalby to take part in the planning process of their own community. The views of the citizens should be a critical factor in the planning process since th

The plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase was activated by the binding of a 14-3-3 protein. This complex can be stabilized by the fungal toxin - fusicoccin. During this activation H+/ATP stoichiometry changed (1). This work presents approaching to find the new stoichiometry. The main part presents looking for the best preparation of plasma membrane vesicles for measurements. A new pH indicator – Glu3 –

The aim of this thesis project was to study the reaction solution’s effect on the formation dynamics and material properties of the mesoporous silica SBA-15. The common synthesis procedure of SBA-15 was applied at 60°C, with 2.5 wt% Pluronic P104 dissolved in 1.6 M hydrochlorid acid. Simple sodium salts (NaCl, NaBr, NaI) or short to medium length alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, 1-PrOH, 2-PrOH, 1-BuOH, 2-BuO

Utveckling och utredning av en automatiserad temperatur kalibrering temperatur fosfor. I denna avhandling presenteras en halvautomatisk temperaturkalibrering för termografiska fosforer. Temperaturdata från termoelement, och fosforensens avklingningskurva registreras och synkroniseras med en temperatur som ökar kontinuerligt över ett bestämt temperaturintervall. Ett LabVIEW-gränssnitt har utvecklaThis thesis achieves a semi-automatic temperature calibration for thermographic phosphors. Thermocouple temperature information and phosphorescence decay curves are recorded synchronized and continuously while the oven temperature is ramped across the entire temperature range. A LabVIEW interface was developed in this context and applied to calibrate two phosphors, CdWO4 and Mg4FGeO6:Mn. These two

Uppsatsen gör en jämförande läsning av den svenska poeten och dramatikern Kristina Lugn och den österrikiska författaren och dramatikern Elfriede Jelinek, med fokus på hur båda gestaltar vardagsmyter i en barthesiansk mening. I analysen behandlas ett verk av vardera författare: Elfriede Jelineks Älskarinnorna (Die Liebhaberinnen) samt Kristina Lugns Om ni hör ett skott---. Ämnen som diskuteras är

To guarantee that the products in the IKEA catalogue are available when requested, IKEA needs to plan and secure capacity. IKEA has developed a process called ONE Supplier Capacity Process to solve supplier capacity issues in a more proactive way. The thesis is focused on suppliers’ in the category Frames and Mirrors with frames in Greater China. Purpose The purposes of the thesis are fourfold: •

The majority of industrial control systems today are distributed over networks. These systems tend to be complex, and can be difficult both to configure and to analyze; therefore, there is definitely a gain in being able to simulate the behaviour of such a system prior to the actual implementation. This master’s thesis investigates the possibility to simulate the ABB automation system 800xA by ex

Denna studie är en analys av en muntligt formulerad diskurs med svenska kriminalvårdare om fängelsestraffets funktion och avskaffande. Syftet med uppsatsen är att visa på eventuella släktskap mellan en akademisk och en vardaglig diskurs om ämnet samt undersöka hur kriminalvårdarnas identitet tar sig uttryck i empirin. Detta görs med hjälp av fokusgruppsintervjuer med kriminalvårdare. Resultatet av

Fenomenet med e-handel växer men i Sverige är det fortfarande relativt få som väljer att handla livsmedel på nätet. Däremot ökar intresset och konkurrensen hårdnar. De stora svenska livsmedelsföretagen måste därför agera. Ett stort problem har varit att hitta lönsamma affärsmodeller för att flytta den traditionella handeln och hela butikens sortiment ut på nätet i ett så kallat e-grocery koncept.

This paper explores the extent to which international labour and human rights law places obligations on States to protect the interests of migrant workers in countries of employment. The purpose of this paper is to examine Canada’s temporary foreign worker programs and work-related regulations, and determine whether Canada lives up to the international norms with respect to the rights of migrant w
