  2. 1. Pluripotent Circulations: Analyzing Articulations of Stem Cells in the USA, prior to 2001

    Author : Morten Sager; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Actor-Network Theory; meta-theory; obligatory point of passage; boundary objects; sociotechnical reality; articulations; human embryonic stem cells; spare embryos; pluripotency;

    Abstract : In this thesis, stem cell research and politics in the USA are analyzed by using actor-network theory (ANT). Here ANT is put to work on largely textual materials, often directly from US political settings, such as Congressional debates and national panels. READ MORE

  4. 2. Meso-scale atmospheric flow modifications in the Baltic Sea area

    Author : Birgitta Källstrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Meteorology; meteorologi;

    Abstract : The wind climate in coastal areas often shows large local variations. For example sea-breeze circulations, internal boundary layers (IBL) and low level jets (LLJ) may contribute to more complex wind conditions than otherwise would be expected over the sea. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards an improved understanding of precipitation variations over the Tibetan Plateau

    Author : Hui-Wen Lai; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Third Pole; Tibetan Plateau; precipitation; Asian summer monsoon; westerly jets; Regional Climate Model; satellite observation;

    Abstract : The Tibetan Plateau (TP) and surrounding regions are known as the ``Third Pole'' because of their polar-like environment and large reservoirs of fresh water. Due to the latter aspect, the TP is also considered the ``Water Tower of Asia'', providing essential water resources to the surrounding regions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Local Purinergic Control of Arteriolar Reactivity in Pancreatic Islets and Renal Glomeruli

    Author : Xiang Gao; Leif Jansson; Olle Hellberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : afferent arteriole; islet arteriole; adenosine; A1 receptor; ATP; P2Y receptor; microperfusion; angiotensin II; type 2 diabetes; hypertension; oxidative stress; nitric oxide; tubuloglomerular feedback;

    Abstract : Local control of regional blood flow is exerted mainly through the arterioles. An adequate minute-to-minute regulation of blood perfusion of the kidney and the pancreas is obtained by the modulation of arteriolar reactivity, which will influence the organ function. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interactions between aerosols and large-scale circulation systems in the atmosphere

    Author : Anna Lewinschal; Annica M. L. Ekman; Heiner Körnich; Jouni Räisänen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic aerosol emissions have increased during the last century. The higher atmospheric aerosol burden is believed to partly have masked the enhanced greenhouse gas warming during the same period. READ MORE
