   Abstract : At the center of this study are three Indian novels with an urban setting and dealing with political and social issues of the 1990s: Githa Hariharan’s In Times of Siege (2003), Vikram Chandra’s Love and Longing in Bombay (1997) and Amit Chaudhuri’s Freedom Song (1998). The Delhi of In Times of Siege is portrayed as a city infused with power but haunted by a troubled past that is brought to the present by a dissenting professor of history. READ MORE

4. 2. Immunologic aspects of the pathogenesis of human onchocerciasis

   Author : Magdi Mahmoud Ali; Klavs Berzins; Norbert Brattig; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi;

   Abstract : Onchocerciasis, or river blindness, is a parasitic disease that affects more than 20 million people globally. The induction of pathology is directly related to the presence and destruction of the microfilarial stages (mf) of this filarial nematode. READ MORE

5. 3. Assembly Mechanisms in Aquatic Bacterial Communities : The Role of Disturbances, Dispersal and History

   Author : Mercè Berga Quintana; Silke Langenheder; Eva Lindström; Örjan Östman; Mathew Leibold; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diversity; community composition; metacommunity;

   Abstract : Environmental conditions, biotic interactions, dispersal and history have been suggested to be important processes influencing the spatial distribution of organisms and thus to affect community assembly. Understanding how these processes influence community assembly is important, particularly because community diversity and composition are suggested to be relevant for ecosystem functioning.

6. 4. Metamorphism in the roots of mountain belts and its effect on rock technical properties : A case study of the Eastern Segment, Sveconorwegian orogen

   Author : Cindy Urueña; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sveconorwegian; metamorphism; hydrous fluids; microtextures; recrystallization; aggregate properties;

   Abstract : Deciphering the metamorphic evolution of the roots of mountain belts is essential for understanding deep tectonic processes involved in mountain building. The Sveconorwegian orogen in southwestern Scandinavia, formed during the Rodinia assembly in the transition between the Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic Eras, has been exhumed and provides access to interior deep structural levels of the ancient mountain belt.

7. 5. Clustering in the Big Data Era: methods for efficient approximation, distribution, and parallelization

   Author : Amir Keramatian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Clustering; Approximation-based synopsis; Distributed and Parallel Processing; Applied ML;

   Abstract : Data clustering is an unsupervised machine learning task whose objective is to group together similar items. As a versatile data mining tool, data clustering has numerous applications, such as object detection and localization using data from 3D laser-based sensors, finding popular routes using geolocation data, and finding similar patterns of electricity consumption using smart meters.
