  2. 21. Impacts of climate oscillation on precipitation and river flows of small scale river basins in Eastern Northeast Brazil

    Author : Denis Duda Costa; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eastern Northeast Brazil; Droughts; Floods; Climate patterns; Hydrological model; Weather radar;

    Abstract : The Northeast region of Brazil is one of the most susceptible parts of the country to the effects of climate variability leading to severe droughts or extreme floods. Indeed, drought is a major issue due to a large semiarid area that covers 53% of the region, which determines the main climate characteristics of this region. READ MORE

  4. 22. Voices from the margins : People, media, and the struggle for land in Brazil

    Abstract : Background: Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) are health conditions for which adequate management, treatment and interventions delivered in outpatient setting could avoid the need of hospital admission. Hospitalizations for ACSC have been used to assess access, quality, and performance of the Primary Health Care (PHC). READ MORE

  7. 25. Studies of protein structure, dynamics and protein-ligand interactions using NMR spectroscopy

    Author : Tobias Tengel; Göran Larsson; Maria Sunnerhagen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 19F NMR; 2S albumin; PapD; protein-ligand interaction; structure; TFE; Yersinia; YopD; allergy; amphipathic helix; Ber e 1; Brazil nut; dynamics; FimC; LcrH; NMR screening; Biophysics; Biofysik;

    Abstract : In the first part of the thesis, protein-ligand interactions were investigated using the chaperone LcrH, from Yersinia as target protein. The structure of a peptide encompassing the amphipathic domain (residue 278-300) of the protein YopD from Yersinia was determined by NMR in 40% TFE. READ MORE
