Routing of elastic traffic in the Internet should be fair in terms of bandwidth allocated to individual traffic demands. One fairness principle that can be applied is called max-min fairness (MMF) and requires that the worst bandwidth allocation is maximized and the solution is then extended with maximization of the second worst allocation, the third one, and so on. In this paper we discuss soluti

Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in man. P fimbriae are virulence factors of uro-pathogenic Escherichia coli. They are expressed by 70-90 % of acute pyelonephritis isolates and up to 100% of the most virulent isolates that cause bacteremia. This thesis concerns the interaction between P fimbriae and the urinary tract mucosa, and the host receptors involved in fimbrial recognit

Isolation of the male and female DNA is one of the most important steps in obtaining the DNA profile of the perpetrator in sexual assault cases. The sample is obtained by taking a vaginal swab containing both epithelial cells from the female and sperm cells from the male from the victim. The purity of the extracted male fraction decides whether or not a single-source DNA profile of the suspect wil

"The darling conceptions of your time, or: why Galileo Galilei sings so sadly in the chorus" portrays conceptions that are either embedded in copyright law or connected to the debate of copyright versus file sharing. Conceptions such as property over intellectual phenomena, control over copies, theft, among others, are analysed and discussed in relation to the digital environment. The article do

This paper shows the importance of adopting a wide perspective when analysing packaging and logistics and of having an understanding of how the package is related to logistics activities. It also exemplifies and discusses the importance of understanding the logistics chain and making sure that all parts of the logistics chain work together and support each other. The packages are good examples of

From a deptrture in the public sphere perspective, this chapter explores how youg citizens , via their use of the internet, develop alternative political practices and identities, thereby contributing to new forms of civic cuoltures

Polyphosphoinositides, the different phosphorylated variants of the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), are used in a wide array of intracellular mechanisms in eukaryotic cells. The phosphorylation of PtdIns at carbon D4, catalyzed by phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, is an important step in the synthesis of several of these molecules. The presence of different isoenzymes of PtdIns 4-kinase i

This chapter deals with the depictions of movement of violence in key narratives in Roman historiography.

The quality in the exchange of technical data in the extended enterprise is mainly defined by the geometrical consistence of the transferred information. Methods and definitions that cover the remaining aspects of data exchange have to be developed. This article discusses a new standardization effort for the exchange management of technical data (ENGDAT version 3) and provides a methodology as wel

Popular Abstract in Swedish Klorofyllsyntes är en viktig process i naturen. De gröna pigmenten utgör en viktig del i fotosyntesen där de absorberar och överför solenergi till fotosyntetiska reaktionscentra. Magnesium kelatas katalyserar insättandet av en magnesium (II) jon i protoporfyrin IX, vilket är det första specifika steget i klorofyllsyntesen. Magnesium kelatas består av tre proteiner, som The biosynthesis of chlorophylls is an important process in nature. The green pigments play a fundamental role in absorbing and transferring solar energy to the photosynthetic apparatus. This thesis elucidates the role and function of the enzyme magnesium chelatase, which catalyses the insertion of magnesium (II) into protoporphyrin IX and is the first committed enzyme of the chlorophyll biosynthe
