    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; Pseudotsuga menziesii; seedling status; gene activity; photoperiod; storability; vitality; transplants; shoot electrolyte leakage; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; Pseudotsuga menziesii; plantstatus; genaktivitet; fotoperiod; lagringsbarhet; vitalitet; omskolningsplantor; elektrolytiskt läckage; Energy and Built Environments; Energi och samhällsbyggnad;

    Abstract : In Sweden, 350-400 million seedlings are produced annually for forest regeneration. About one third of these are overwintered in frozen storage, necessitating accurate methods to assess storability. Young transplants of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst. READ MORE

  4. 2. Health, nutrition and growth in infancy - a child health care perspective

    Author : Gerd Almquist-Tangen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Child health; breastfeeding; growth; household purchasing power; neighbourhoods; pediatric nutrition;

    Abstract : Abstract Early childhood is recognised as a key period for the new family in which to promote health. There is evidence that infant feeding is one of the most influential factors affecting growth, development and life-long health. READ MORE

  6. 4. New insights into growth cessation and dormancy in trees

    Author : Lars Resman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Since trees are sessile they have evolved elaborate mechanisms that anticipate oncoming winter and allow the trees to withstand extreme changes in their environment. Trees need to stop growth and initiate cold hardiness well before cold temperatures become damaging, consequently the timings of growth cessation and dormancy are important adaptive traits for their ability to survive in harsh winter conditions.

  7. 5. Growth control mechanisms in normal and neoplastic mammalian cells

    Author : Mozhgan Afrakhte; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; PDGF-AA; TGF-beta; Inhibitory SMADs; Growth inhibition; CDK; CKI; Cdc25A; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Genetics; genetik;

    Abstract : The main theme of the studies presented in this thesis is, the growth control mechanisms whose loss in normal cells predispose to or cause cancer. The balance between growth inhibitory and stimulatory mechanisms is crucial for the development and maintenance of a normal animal. READ MORE
