  2. 1. Getting to know Trioza apicalis (Homoptera: Psylloidea) – a Specialist Host-Alternating Insect with a Tiny Olfactory System

    Author : Lina Kristoffersen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physiology of invertebrates; Djurs anatomi och morfologi; Entomologi; plant parasitology; Entomology; Ekologi; Ecology; glomeruli; antennal lobe; olfactory receptor neurons electrophysiology; antennae; behaviour; olfaction; Sternorrhyncha; psyllid; Ryggradslösa djurs fysiologi; animal morphology; Animal anatomy; växtparasitologi;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises ecological, morphological and physiological studies of the carrot psyllid Trioza apicalis (Homoptera: Psylloidea) with particular focus on olfaction. Data from inventories of winter habitats suggest that T. apicalis prefer Picea abies over Pinus sylvestris and Juniperus communis as winter hosts. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; feature selection; image features; pattern classification; relevance; redundancy; distributional similarity; divergence measure; genetic algorithms; clustering algorithms; annealing; olfactory coding; olfactory bulb; odorants; glomeruli; property-activity relationship; olfaction; plasticity; axonal guidance; odor category; perception; spatial coding; population coding; memory organization; odor quality; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with machine learning techniques for the extraction of structure and the analysis of the vertebrate olfactory pathway based on related methods. Some of its main contributions are summarized below. READ MORE

  5. 3. Local Purinergic Control of Arteriolar Reactivity in Pancreatic Islets and Renal Glomeruli

    Author : Xiang Gao; Leif Jansson; Olle Hellberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : afferent arteriole; islet arteriole; adenosine; A1 receptor; ATP; P2Y receptor; microperfusion; angiotensin II; type 2 diabetes; hypertension; oxidative stress; nitric oxide; tubuloglomerular feedback;

    Abstract : Local control of regional blood flow is exerted mainly through the arterioles. An adequate minute-to-minute regulation of blood perfusion of the kidney and the pancreas is obtained by the modulation of arteriolar reactivity, which will influence the organ function. READ MORE

  6. 4. Heterogeneity in the regulation of glomerular filtration rate in superficial and deep glomeruli

    Author : Mats Sjöquist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis of kidney glomerular and microvascular transcriptomes

    Author : Liqun He; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Transcriptome; kidney glomerulus; pericytes; EST; microarray; genomics; bioinformatics; systems biology;

    Abstract : Kidney glomeruli play a crucial role in the maintenance of body homeostasis. Many diseases attack the kidney function by primarily affecting glomeruli. However, the transcriptome profiles and the function of the glomerulus is poorly understood. READ MORE
