  2. 6. Cold-induced nonshivering thermogenesis : tissue origin, activation, recruitment

    Author : Valeria Golozoubova; Martin Brand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Two types of heat production, shivering and nonshivering thermogenesis, are activated in mammals in the cold. In small mammals, nonshivering thermogenesis becomes the main source of heat upon long-term cold exposure. READ MORE

  4. 7. Ear Reconstruction. Clinical and physiological evaluations

    Author : Martin Öberg; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Plastic surgery; autologous ear reconstruction; sensitivity; blood flow; digital morphometry;

    Abstract : Microtia is a congenital malformation where the auricle is not fully developed. In some cases the malformation is complete and the auricle is absent. In Sweden the incidence of microtia is about 2 per 10,000 births. READ MORE

    Abstract : Obesity and related complications such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and cardiovascular events, are a growing major health problem worldwide. Achieving a negative energy balance by increasing physical activity in combination with reduced caloric intake, is the most common approach in weight reduction strategies, something that is difficult to maintain in the long term.

  6. 9. Natural variation in cold adaptation and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Author : Antoine Bos; Pär Ingvarsson; Hans Stenøien; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; cold acclimation; freezing tolerance; flowering time; latitudinal clines; genetic variation; evolutionary genetics; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Plants have spread to almost everywhere in the world. As they disperse, they meet many different environments to which they may be able to adapt. For a plant species to adapt to a new environment, genetic variation is needed. The individuals differ from each other in their genetic composition, which often means differences in phenotypes.

  7. 10. Paleoclimate perspective on Earth's climate sensitivity and feedbacks

    Author : Martin Renoult; Thorsten Mauritsen; Navjit Sagoo; Masa Kageyama; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoclimate; Climate sensitivity; Climate feedbacks; Last Glacial Maximum; Pliocene; Snowball Earth; Emergent constraint; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi;

    Abstract : The addition of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere due to human activities is the main driver of global warming. How much the Earth will warm in the future is often represented by the Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), the long-term temperature response considering the effect of climate feedbacks after an abrupt and sustained doubling of atmospheric CO2 from pre-industrial concentration.
