  2. 1. Theory of van der Waals bonding: from bulk materials to biomolecules

    Author : Elisa Londero; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alkanes; extended systems; DNA; band structure; van der Waals Density Functional vdW-DF ; exchange functionals; Density Functional Theory; non-local correlation; layered oxides;

    Abstract : Sparse matter is abundant in Nature.It encompasses systems characterized by an intrinsic low density of electrons in sizeable regions, where the van der Waals forces contribute considerably to cohesion.Given the length scale of the problem, a prediction of these materials requires appropriate tools within a quantum-mechanical framework.

  4. 2. The Human Pancreatic Islet Methylome and Its Role in Type 2 Diabetes

    Author : Tasnim Dayeh; Diabetes - epigenetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CpG-SNP; glucagon secretion; insulin secretion; human pancreatic islets; DNA methylation; Epigenetics;

    Abstract : Islet dysfunction is central to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Epigenetic modifications are essential for establishing and maintaining cell identity and function in normal circumstances. Exposure to adverse environmental factors may alter the epigenome, and result in changes of gene expression and the resulting phenotype. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nesting and migration in the introduced Canada goose in Sweden

    Author : Göran Sjöberg; Catherine M. Lessells; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Species introductions; DNA fingerprinting; natal dispersal; breeding dispersal; bird migration; wintering areas; clutch size; laying date; body reserves; nest defence; waterfowl; Canada goose; Anatidae; Branta canadensis;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to document patterns in breeding and migration in Swedish Canada geese Branta canadensis, to explain these against the genetic and historical background of the population, and to test predictions of hypotheses pertaining to parental investment.The Canada goose population in Sweden was founded by the introduction of a few individuals in the 1930's.

  6. 4. Comparative studies of alkylating and N-heterocyclic compounds on different genetic endpoints with special emphasis on amplification of minisatellite sequences

    Author : Eva Agurell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Several mutational events are involved in the multistage process of cancer. Genetic instability of tumor DNA is shown in a variety of genetic changes such as point mutations, chromosomal aberrations, aneuploidy, DNA amplification and somatic recombination. READ MORE

  7. 5. Influence of Escherichia coli feedstock properties on the performance of primary protein purification

    Author : Mattias Råvik; Andres Veide; Åsa Emmer; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Downstream processing; cell surface properties; surface plasmon resonance; contact angle measurements; microelectrophoresis; aqueous two-phase partitioning; filtration; EBA adsorbents; high-pressure homogenisation; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Abstract The aim of the present study was to increase the understanding of how the cell surface properties affect the performance of unit operations used in primary protein purification. In particular, the purpose was to develop, set up and apply methods for studies of cell surface properties and cell interactions. READ MORE
