  2. 11. Mechanics-based Design Framework for Flexible Pavements

    Author : Yared H. Dinegdae; Björn Birgisson; David Newcomb; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mechanics-based; asphalt; fatigue; reliability; traffic; variability; Mekanik-baserade; utmattningssprickor; pålitlighet; lastbilstrafiken; variabilitet; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Load induced top-down fatigue cracking has been recognized recently as a major distress phenomenon in asphalt pavements. This paper presents a mechanics-based design framework in load and resistance factor design (LRFD) format for the top-down fatigue cracking performance evaluation of flexible pavements. READ MORE

  4. 12. Genetic and epigenetic influence on oxidative phosphorylation, islet function and type 2 diabetes in humans

    Author : Anders H Olsson; Diabetes - epigenetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 Diabetes; Genetics; Epigenetics; Human Pancreatic Islets; Oxidative Phosphorylation; Insulin Secretion;

    Abstract : The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide. T2D is a heterogeneous disease caused by a complex interplay between multiple genetic, epigenetic and non-genetic factors. The disease is characterised by impaired insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. READ MORE

  5. 13. Natural killer cell tolerance : influence of the MHC class I expression in the host

    Author : Maria H Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NK cells; MHC class 1; tolerance; transgenic mice; Ly49;

    Abstract : Development of self-tolerance in the immune system is characterized by somatic processes aiming at permanently eliminating, or silencing, potentially autoreactive lymphocytes. Such tolerance mechanisms are of outmost importance if autoimmunity is to be avoided. READ MORE

  6. 14. Regulation of gene and protein expression : two model systems

    Author : Lars H Lund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HIV-1; EIAV; Tat; TAR; Cyclin T1; CDK9; P-TEFb; RNA polymerase II; gene regulation; transcriptional elongation; CEA; signal sequence.;

    Abstract : Genetic information is expressed by DNA transcription and mRNA translation. With few exceptions, every cell of an organism, or the human body, contains the same genetic information. Yet the structure and function of different tissues are highly variable. READ MORE

  7. 15. Femtosecond Dynamics in Water and Biological Materials with an X-Ray Laser

    Author : H. Olof Jönsson; Carl Caleman; Nicusor Timneanu; Olle Björneholm; David van der Spoel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : Using high intensity ultrashort pulses from X-ray free electron lasers to investigate soft matter is a recent and successful development. The last decade has seen the development of new variant of protein crystallography with femtosecond dynamics, and single particle imaging with atomic resolution is on the horizon. READ MORE
