Functional Studies of Telomere-Binding Proteins in Saccharomyces castellii

Telomeres are the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeres are essential for solving the end replication problem and they stabilize the genome by protection from degradation. The telomeres also protect the chromosomal ends from by being recognized as DNA breaks by the repair machinery, which could lead to end-to-end fusions. Dysfunctional telomeres are implicated in many complex cellul

The Changing Nature of Knowledge. Mapping the Discourse of the Malmo Longitudinal Study 1939-1995

The concept of knowledge is the topic of this monograph, the purpose of which is to study how it has been represented in educational research literature since 1939. Six texts have been selected, which use the Malmö Longitudinal Study data. These texts span the time period of 1939-1995 and have different foci, such as intelligence, social adjustment, benefits of education, recurrent education and q

Was the wage burden too heavy? - Settler farming, wages and the profitability of settler agriculture in colonial Malawi, c 1900-1960

The historical role of European farming in southern and central Africa is a delicate matter that has received a great deal of attention among scholars over the years. Going through this vast literature a striking consensus emerges: success or failure of European farming in southern Africa was to a large extent depending on their access and control over labour. These propositions have so far never

Corrosion crack nucleation by deformation-induced passivity breakdown

A model for corrosion crack nucleation and growth is presented, where the corrosion forms the geometry of the crack tip, thus creating the conditions for strain concentration. The interaction between electro chemical processes and the deformation of the crack tip region is incorporated in a continuum mechanical theory. No crack growth criterion is used. The formation of a crack from a surface depr

Resurrecting the explanatory status of traits: A non-reductive account of explanation in personality psychology

Personality psychology has long been plagued by the apparent explanatory vacuity of trait constructs. The problem is that trait explanations are circular insofar as the traits are defined and measured in terms of the sort of behavioral regularities they are subsequently invoked to explain. To address this problem, researchers have typically either claimed that traits can be reduced to material cau
