  2. 1. Polyesters with indole as sustainable aromatic component

    Author : Ping Wang; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; indole; sustainable polyesters; high performance; recycling; biodegradation;

    Abstract : Plastics are widely used in our daily lives and industry. Unfortunaltely, most plastics are produced from non-renewable fossil resources. The transition toward sustainable resources such as various biomass is critically important for the future of plastic industry and the whole society. READ MORE

  4. 2. Rationality and Cultural Understanding

    Author : Tove Österman; Sören Stenlund; Pär Segerdahl; David Cockburn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; rationality; relativism; logic; understanding; morality; truth; culture; context; Davidson; MacIntyre; Winch.; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : In this dissertation I criticize a common conception of rationality prevalent in analytic philosophy. Rationality is here often seen as a purely cognitive, inner phenomenon which is static and universal, detached from any moral or cultural aspects of human life. READ MORE

  5. 3. Metabolites of Avena sativa with Blood Cholesterol Lowering Properties

    Author : Narda Thuresson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cholesterol lowering effect; Avena sativa; phytosterols; avenanthramides; 13-HODE;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are among the most important causes of death in thedeveloped countries. These diseases are partly caused by too high cholesterolconcentrations in the blood. Avena sativa, oat, is the most common spieces of the genus Avena, and produced in huge amounts worldwide. READ MORE

  6. 4. Plant Major Intrinsic Proteins - natural variation and evolution

    Author : Jonas Danielson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MIP; aquaporin; plant; natural variation; evolution; Arabidopsis; Physcomitrella patens; NIP; XIP;

    Abstract : Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs, also called Aquaporins, AQPs) are channel forming membrane proteins. Although initially functionally characterized and named after their water channeling property in human red blood cells, it has become increasingly evident that MIPs are present in all types of organisms and transport a variety of small, uncharged molecules besides water.

  7. 5. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels

    Author : Lavanya Moparthi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TRP ion channels; TRPA1; ankyrin repeat domain; thermosensation; chemosensation; cold sensor; electrophiles; non-electrophiles; planar lipid bilayers; patch-clamp; fluorescence spectroscopy; mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature.
