  2. 1. Novel Endogenous Antimicrobial Peptides

    Author : Emma Nordahl; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; D5; HK; C3a; HMWK; complement; heparin-binding; antibacterial; Antimicrbial peptide; AMP;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial peptides serve as a first line of defence against invading microorganisms and are an essential part of our fast innate immune system. They are ancient molecules found in all classes of life. Antimicrobial peptides rapidly kill a broad spectrum of microbes and are immunomodulatory, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Game Theory and Agents

    Author : Stefan J. Johansson; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Game Theory; Multi-Agent Systems; No Free Lunch Theorem; Characteristic Distributions;

    Abstract : A fundamental problem in multi agent systems is conflict resolution. A conflict occurs in general when the agents have to deal with inconsistent goals, such as a demand for shared resources. We investigate how a game theoretic approach may be a helpful and efficient tool in examining a class of conflicts in multi agent systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Kinin System Activation in Vasculitis

    Author : Robin Kahn; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kinin receptors; inflammation; vasculitis; proteinase 3; neutophils; anti-neutrophil-cytoplasmic antibodies; Kinin;

    Abstract : The kinin system is activated when high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) is cleaved by plasma kallikrein thus generating bradykinin. Bradykinin is a potent proinflammatory peptide that induces plasma leakage, blood pressure drop, liberation of inflammatory cytokines and pain. READ MORE

  6. 4. Evaluation of design alternatives for a directory-based cache coherence protocol in shared-memory multiprocessors

    Author : Håkan Grahn; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In shared-memory multiprocessors, caches are attached to the processors in order to reduce the memory access latency. To keep the memory consistent, a cache coherence protocol is needed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization and environmental influences on inflammatory and physiological responses

    Author : Hazem Khalaf; Per-Erik Olsson; Joe de Pierre; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inflammation; NF-κB; cytokines; pharmaceuticals; zebrafish; Biology; Biologi; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Pharmaceuticals are regularly released into the environment, in particular nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. The measuredconcentrations are relatively low and have therefore been considered to be harmless. READ MORE
