    Abstract : The first hospital outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carriage rates of VRE and ampicillin-resistant enterococci (ARE) in Sweden were investigated. Clonal relationships and mutations in fluoroquinolone resistance determining regions among ARE collected nation-wide were studied. READ MORE

  4. 2. Reproductive strategies and liming responses in forest field-layer flora

    Author : Annika Kruuse af Verchou; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; species turnover; species richness; sexual reproduction; podzol; pH; Lamiastrum galeobdolon; forest liming; demography; Cambisol; clonal plants; SRE; vegetative reproduction; VRE; Plant ecology; Växtekologi;

    Abstract : Liming increased species richness, in accordance with the species pool hypothesis, and number of plants of individual species in beech forest field-layer vegetation, by increasing establishment by seedlings and vegetative offspring. Turnover rates also increased, suggesting the explanatory value of the carousel model. READ MORE

  5. 3. Variability and variation management in a renewable electricity system -large-scale wind- and solar power deployment in Europe

    Author : Lina Reichenberg; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : marginal cost of electricity; VRE; variability smoothing; solar power; power systems; renewable energy; wind power; energy systems modelling;

    Abstract : The large-scale deployment of wind and solar power poses challenges to the electricity system by introducing variability on the generation side. To handle these variations, variation management strategies can be employed to ensure that generation meets demand. READ MORE
