  2. 1. Exotic Ribosomal Enzymology

    Author : Josefine Liljeruhm; Anthony C. Forster; Christophe Danelon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rRNA modification; Methyltransferase; RlmM; RlmJ; D-amino acid; Unnatural amino acid; Chromoprotein; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis clarifies intriguing enzymology of the ribosome, the multiRNA/multiprotein complex that catalyzes protein synthesis (translation). The large ribosomal RNAs (23S and 16S rRNAs in E. coli) are post-transcriptionally modified by many specific modification enzymes, yet the functions of the modifications remain enigmatic. READ MORE

  4. 2. Taming exotic beauties : Swedish hydropower constructions in Tanzania in the era of development assistance, 1960s-1990s

    Author : May-Britt Öhman; Arne Kaijser; Kjell Havnevik; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; History of science and technology; Hydropower; Electrification; Postcolonial Theory; Feminist Theory; Science and Technology Studies; Colonialism; Development assistance; Africa; Tanzania; Southern Highlands; Great Ruaha River; Vetenskapshistoria; Teknikhistori; Vattenkraftsutbyggnad – Tanzania; Kolonialism – Tanzania; Utvecklingsbistånd – Tanzania; History of technology and industry; Teknik- och industrihistoria; Historia;

    Abstract : This study analyses the history of a large hydroelectric scheme – the Great Ruaha power project in Tanzania. The objective is to establish why and how this specific scheme came about, and as part of this to identify the key actors involved in the decision-making process, including the ideological contexts within which they acted.

  5. 3. A quantum for a quantum : Quantum simulators in exotic lattices

    Author : Pil Maria Saugmann; Jonas Larson; André Eckardt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum physics; condensed matter physics; quantum optics; optical lattices. Fock state lattices; exotic lattices; frustration; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis centers on how to use exotic lattices in different ways to design potential quantum simulators. These exotic lattices are either real physical objects in the form of ultra cold atoms in  bipartite optical lattice systems or lattice models revealed in state space. READ MORE

  6. 4. The allure of the exotic : The social use of non-local raw materials during the Stone Age in Sweden

    Author : Jacqueline Taffinder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; arkeologi; Archaeology;

    Abstract : By use of ethnoarchaeological method this thesis attempts to investigate the social roles of non-local raw materials. Personal ornaments are studied in a world-wide range of ethnographic contexts, attention being focused on the origin of raw materials used to make these objects and the social use they assume in the 64 different societies analysed.

  7. 5. Smooth particles and exotic strings

    Author : Jan Isberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : During the last few decades quantum gauge field theories in general, and the Electroweak Standard Model in particular, have been very successful in the description of the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. However, such models all meet with severe shortcomings, e.g. READ MORE
