  2. 6. Intersectional intersectionality? Interpretative politics in metacommentaries on intersectionality

    Author : Amund Rake Hoffart; Liisa Husu; Lena Gunnarsson; Kathy Davis; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Feminist theory; intersectionality; additivity; paradigm; storytelling;

    Abstract : The claim that intersectionality has become a dominant paradigm for feminist scholarship and activism constitutes the backdrop to this study. One central arena for making such claims is the genre of metacommentaries on intersectionality. READ MORE

  4. 7. Evolution of asexuality in insects : Polyploidy, hybridization and geographical parthenogenesis

    Author : Magnus Lundmark; Anssi Saura; Anders Nilsson; Davis Parker; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular genetics; weevils; geographical parthenogenesis; hybridization; polyploidy; Genetik; Otiorhynchus; Genetics; genetik;

    Abstract : Asexual reproduction and polyploidy are relatively rare in animals with chromosomal sex determination and always represent a derived condition. To accomplish asexual reproduction several changes in gene expression are required in the mechanism of oogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 8. Packet Order Matters! : Improving Application Performance by Deliberately Delaying Packets

    Author : Hamid Ghasemirahni; Dejan Kostic; Alan L. Davis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Packet Ordering. Spatial Locality; Temporal Locality; Packet Scheduling; Batch Processing; Paketbeställning; Rumslig lokalitet; Temporal lokalitet; Paketplanering; Satsvis bearbetning; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Data-centers increasingly deploy commodity servers with high-speed network interfaces to enable low-latency communication. However, achieving low latency at high data rates crucially depends on how the incoming traffic interacts with the system's caches. When packets that need to be processed in the same way are consecutive, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies on Natural Variation and Evolution of Photoperiodism in Plants

    Author : Karl Holm; Ulf Lagercrantz; Martin Lascoux; Seth Jon Davis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : photoperiodism; circadian; flowering time; natural variation; evolution; Caspella bursa-pastoris; Physcomitrella patens; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

    Abstract : Photoperiodism refers to the organism’s ability to detect and respond to seasonal changes in the daily duration of light and dark and thus constitutes one of the most significant and complex examples of the interaction between the organism and its environment. This thesis attempts to describe the prevalence of variation in a photoperiodic response, its adaptive value, and its putative genetic basis in a common cruciferous weed, Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae).

  7. 10. Protein Expression in Baltic Sea Blue Mussels Exposed to Natural and Anthropogenic Stress : The use of stress inducible proteins in ecotoxicological studies

    Author : Björne Olsson; Michael Tedengren; Davis Sheehan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is the early detection of stress in the environment. It has been proposed that studies on the cellular level would detect stress reactions earlier in time compared to common physiological methods. READ MORE
