   Abstract : Rationale Epilepsy is a common, chronic, neurological condition that disproportionately affects individuals living in low- and middle- income countries, including much of sub-Saharan Africa. Epilepsy is treatable, with the majority of individuals who take anti-epileptic drugs experiencing a reduction, or elimination, of seizures. READ MORE

4. 2. CopA and CopT: The Perfect RNA Couple

   Author : Jacoba G. Slagter-Jäger; Gerhart Wagner; Wolfgang Nellen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; antisense RNA; plasmid; U-turn; four-way junction; RNA-RNA interaction; Hfq; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

   Abstract : Antisense RNAs regulate gene expression in many bacterial systems. The best characterized examples are from prokaryotic accessory elements such as phages, plasmids and transposons. Many of these antisense RNAs have been identified as plasmid copy number regulators where they regulate the replication frequency of the plasmid by negative feedback. READ MORE

5. 3. NMR metabolomics and lipid analyses in salmonid tissue : response to alternative feeds

   Author : Liane Wagner; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Salmonids are fatty fish and contain high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, beneficial in human nutrition. However, the aquaculture industry has expanded greatly in recent decades, increasing demand for fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) for fish feed, while the supply of fish raw materials has remained static or declined.

6. 4. Toward fully automatic earthquake detection and processing for tomography in the Hengill area

   Author : Frederic Wagner; Ari Tryggvason; Ólafur Gudmundsson; Roland Roberts; Steven Gibbons; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earthquake detection; local-earthquake tomography; Iceland; induced seismicity; geothermal activity; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the automation of seismic data analysis, in particular, event detection, quality assessment of detected events, and preparation of an earthquake catalogue for seismic tomography.The developed event detector uses back-propagation and stacking of a seismic trace attribute with a known velocity model to detect and locate events.

7. 5. Architecting Smart Home Environments for Healthcare : A Database-Centric Approach

   Author : Wagner Ourique de Morais; Bertil Svensson; Nicholas Wickström; Diego López-de-Ipiña González-de-Artaza; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Smart environments; system architectures; active databases; in-database processing; ambient assisted living;

   Abstract : The development of system architectures and applications for smart homes and ambient assisted living has been the main activity of a number of academic and industrial research projects around the world. Existing system architectures for smart environments usually employ different architectural styles in a multi-layer logical architecture to support the integration and interoperation of heterogeneous hardware and software technologies, which are subsequently used to provide two major functionalities: monitoring and assistance.
