Exploration of the role of penicillin-binding protein 4b in Bacillus subtilis The Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis produces endospores which enable the bacterium to survive under extreme conditions, e.g. desiccation and extreme temperature. The cortex layer of the endospore is essential for heat resistance. It consists of modified peptidoglycan (PG), which is similar to PG in the cell w

Kanada är väldigt rikt på energiresurser och fjärde största vattenkraftproducenten i världen. Provinsen Quebec står för omkring 52% av Kanadas totala vattenkraftsproduktion, och ener- gimarknaden Quebec domineras fullständigt av vattenkraft: 96% av elen genereras där av vattenkraft. I avreglerade vattenkraftdominerade energimarknader är det vanligt att det finns ett samband mellan vatteninflödet tCanada is plentiful in resources and the fourth largest producer of hydropower in the world. The province of Quebec stands for about 52% of Canada’s total hydropower production, and the Quebecois energy market is totally dominated by hydropower: 96% of the electricity produced in Quebec is hydro.

Under en tio veckors period i Vietnam hösten 2014 genomförde jag ett SIDA finansierat projekt med målet att hitta enkla och billiga lösningar på hur en befintlig biogasanläggning som behandlar industriellt avloppsvatten från en tapiokafabrik skulle förbättras. Jag gjorde mätningar på vattnet som gick in och ut ur lagunen för att försöka komma fram till vad som skedde där inne, och vad det var för Anaerobic digestion is a cost-effective way of treating high organic content wastewater, as it efficiently removes large amounts of organics at the same time as biogas is produced. The production of starch from cassava roots, named tapioca, creates large amounts of high organic content wastewater and uses large amounts of thermal energy for drying the starch. At Wusons tapioca factory in southern

I familjerätten finns två former av vårdnad, ensam vårdnad och gemensam vårdnad. Den sistnämnda vårdnadsformen utgör utgångspunkten vid bedömningen av vilken vårdnadsform som är lämpligast. En utgångspunkt som har varit så stark att den har gett upphov till en presumtion för gemensam vårdnad.
