  2. 1. Pathogen-host interactions at the surface of Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Patrik Nyberg; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infektioner; Infections; C3a; LL-37; antimicrobial peptide; GRAB; alpha-2-macroglobulin; proteolysis; SpeB; internalization; virulence; protein F1; Streptococcus pyogenes; fibronectin;

    Abstract : The bacterial surface can be thought of as the interface where pathogenic bacteria encounter the human host. Interactions between bacterial surface proteins and human proteins are important determinants of the eventual outcome of infection. READ MORE

  4. 2. Calibration and quality assessment of DESCARTES : grabsampler for stratospheric tracers

    Author : Johan Arvelius; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adsorption; Balloon; Carboxen; CFC; Chloro-Fluoro Carbon; Grab sampling; Halocarbon; Molecular sieve; Stratospheric tracer; Tracer; Adsorption; Ballong; Carboxen; CFC; Halogeniserade kolväten; Klor-Flourkarbon; Spårgas; Stratosfärisk spårgas; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : DESCARTES is a light-weight, balloon-borne grab sampler for stratospheric long-lived tracers developed at the University of Cambridge. 33 flights have been performed with two versions of the instrument at northern latitudes by the DESCARTES team at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna during the years 1997-2000.

  5. 3. Studies on cell wall-attached proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Magnus Rasmussen; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insertion sequence; phase variation; collagen-like; alpha2-macroglobulin; pattern; virulence; surface protein; Stretococcus pyogenes; cell wall-attached protein; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

    Abstract : Cell wall-attached proteins (CWPs) are important for the virulence of Gram-positive bacteria, but are also targets for the host immune system. CWPs have a conserved COOH-terminal region, responsible for cell wall-sorting. A pattern based on this conserved region was developed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Passive sampling for monitoring of inorganic pollutants in water

    Author : Jesper Knutsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy metals; urban run-off; WFD; pollutant monitoring; passive samplers; natural water; speciation; waste water;

    Abstract : As new environmental management policies for watersheds are implemented, there has been a growing interest for new monitoring alternatives. Traditionally grab sampling has been the method of choice for monitoring purposes, but may not be adequate or economically viable, to meet the requirements of the new policies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Particulate phosphorus accumulation and net retention in constructed wetlands receiving agricultural runoff : Critical analysis of factors affecting retention estimates

    Author : Karin Johannesson; Karin Tonderski; Stefan Weisner; Uno Wennergren; Ben Surridge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phosphorus retention; constructed wetlands; agriculture; sampling strategy;

    Abstract : Övergödning är ett allvarligt miljöproblem, som bland annat orsakar omfattande blomningar av alger och blågrönbakterier. I söt- och brackvatten är fosfor ofta det mest begränsande näringsämnet för dessa organismer, varför en minskning av fosfortillförseln är nödvändig för att nå förbättringar. READ MORE
