  2. 21. On the profiling of autoantibodies in psychiatric disorders

    Author : David Just; Peter Nilsson; Anna Månberg; Jochen M. Schwenk; Angela Vincent; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; affinity proteomics; microarrays; suspension bead array; autoantibodies; autoimmunity; psychiatric disorders; schizophrenia;

    Abstract : There is a great need to increase our understanding of diseases affecting the brain and their underlying pathogenic mechanisms. To address this need, the work presented in this thesis applied affinity based proteomic techniques to profile proteins, and to investigate protein profiles and the autoantibody repertoire in brain related disorders.

  4. 22. Polyandry and the evolution of reproductive divergence in insects

    Author : Tina Nilsson; Göran Arnqvist; David Hosken; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Bruchidae; cryptic female choice; multiple mating; sexual conflict; sexually antagonistic coevolution; sexual selection; speciation; sperm competition; Tenebrionidae; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Multiple mating by females is common in nature. Yet, the evolution and maintenance of polyandry remains a bit of an evolutionary puzzle. It was my aim in this thesis to reach a greater understanding of this phenomenon as well as to investigate the consequences of polyandry on the evolution of reproductive divergence in insects.

  5. 23. Compliance with Territorial Awards : Territorial Concessions, Domestic Constraints, and International Legal Rulings

    Author : David Larsson Gebre-Medhin; Desirée Nilsson; Isak Svensson; Stephen Gent; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Under what conditions do states engaged in interstate territorial disputes comply with unfavorable international legal awards? Interstate territorial disputes have proven to be a major threat to international peace and security. Of the available options for the peaceful resolution of territorial claims, legal dispute resolution has proven to be very effective, as states overwhelmingly comply with international awards.

  6. 24. Applications of Four-Colour Fluorescent Primer Extension Technology for SNP Analysis and Discovery

    Author : Annika Ahlford; Ann-Christine Syvänen; Mats Nilsson; David Schwartz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Single nucleotide polymorphism; Genotyping; Massively parallel sequencing; Gene mapping; Lab-on-a-chip; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Studies on genetic variation can reveal effects on traits and disease, both in humans and in model organisms. Good technology for the analysis of DNA sequence variations is critical. Currently the development towards assays for large-scale and parallel DNA sequencing and genotyping is progressing rapidly. READ MORE

  7. 25. Aerosol Exchange between Forests and the Atmosphere : Fluxes over a Tropical and a Boreal Forest

    Author : Lars Ahlm; Douglas Nilsson; David Fowler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The main goal of this thesis was to investigate primary biogenic aerosol emission from the Amazon rain forest through measurements of vertical turbulent aerosol number fluxes. In addition, the particle dry deposition sink has been analysed and quantified, and is also compared with the dry deposition sink at a boreal forest site. READ MORE
