  2. 1. Conservation Genetics of the White-Tailed Eagle

    Author : Frank Hailer; Hans Ellegren; Carles Vilà; Rob C Fleischer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Haliaeetus albicilla; microsatellites; mtDNA; molecular sexing; population structure; bottleneck; phylogeography; raptors; Biologi;

    Abstract : The white-tailed eagle is a formerly threatened raptor that is commonly used as a flagship and indicator species in conservation work. This thesis uses molecular genetic methods to study sex determination of nestlings, genetic variability, population structure and phylogeography of the white-tailed eagle. READ MORE

  4. 2. Survival of the Tamest : The Domesticated Phenotype in Red Junglefowl Selected for Tameness

    Author : Rebecca Katajamaa; Per Jensen; Dominic Wright; Ruth C. Newberry; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; domestication; chicken; red junglefowl; tameness; brain size; behaviour; cognition; body size;

    Abstract : Early animal domestication was probably associated with reduced fear of humans. Domestication is a process in which animals adapt to humans and the captive environment provided by humans. Selection on tameness as the only trait has previously been found to generate changes in other phenotypes in different animal species. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of Apoptosis in Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells: Involvement of Different Signaling Pathways

    Author : Maria Kraft; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytokines; apoptosis; cell cycle; c-Kit; Flt3; Flt3-ITD; Akt; Bcl-2; FoxO3; mouse; hematopoiesis; progenitor;

    Abstract : Proliferation, differentiation, and survival of hematopoietic stem cells and multipotent progenitor cells are regulated by cytokines and cell-cell interactions. Kit ligand (KL) and Flt3 ligand (FL) have pleiotropic effects, promotes survival, but are nonredundant. READ MORE

  6. 4. A System Perspective on Energy End-Use Measures in a District Heated Region : Renovation of Buildings and Hydronic Pavement Systems

    Author : Stefan Blomqvist; Louise Ödlund; Patrik Rohdin; Jan Akander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : A district heating and cooling (DHC) system can be a viable piece of the puzzle in the efforts of reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Especially if the DHC system include combined heat and power (CHP) plants which enable electricity production from renewable resources. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of high intensity focused ultrasound on the intervertebral disc

    Author : Johan K Persson; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; Biofysik; Biophysics; Thermal therapy; Disc herniation; Intervertebral disc; High intensity focused ultrasound; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to study and try to optimise high intensity focused ultrasound treatment of the intervertebral disc. We demonstrated that it was possible to heat intervertebral discs with HIFU delivered by 50 or 5 mm diameter ultrasound transducers. READ MORE
