  2. 1. Endogenous Opioids and Voluntary Ethanol Drinking : Consequences of Postnatal Environmental Influences in Rats

    Author : Lisa Gustafsson; Ingrid Nylander; Erika Roman; Ryszard Przewlocki; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Maternal separation; Maternal deprivation; Handling; Isolation; Alcohol; Two-bottle model; Four-bottle model; MEAP; Dynorphin B; Nociceptin orphanin FQ; Radioimmunoassay; Farmaceutisk farmakologi;

    Abstract : Genetic and environmental factors interact to determine the individual vulnerability to develop ethanol dependence. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying these processes are not fully understood. Endogenous opioid peptides have been suggested to contribute. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adjusting to the extreme : Thermal adaptation in a freshwater gastropod

    Author : Magnus Johansson; Laurila Anssi; Robby Stoks; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radix balthica; Lake Mývatn; geothermal springs; thermal adaptation; isolation by environment; population structure; gene flow; cogradient variation; AFLP; thermal preference; CTmax; Biologi med inriktning mot populationsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Population Biology;

    Abstract : Temperature is a ubiquitous force influencing biological processes ranging from cellular responses to life span. The thermal environment for many organisms is predicted to change with globally increasing temperatures and studies conducted in natural systems incorporating various evolutionary forces, such as gene flow, is needed.

The detrimental impact of loneliness on health and well-being is well documented and has recently become a rising priority for governments worldwide. READ MORE

  6. 4. Predation as a driver of reproductive isolation - from adaptive divergence to hybrid inviability

    Author : Varpu Pärssinen; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reproductive isolation; ecological speciation; predation; adaptive radiation; evolution; behaviour; fish;

    Abstract : Natural selection can play an important role in the origin of new species. When reproductive isolation evolves as a result of ecologically-based divergent natural selection, the process is referred to as ecological speciation. In most organisms, sufficient reproductive isolation is considered to be essential for the establishment of new species. READ MORE

  7. 5. Secure execution environment for Java electronic services

    Author : Almut Herzog; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Java; security; Residential Gateway; threads; resource control; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Private homes are becoming increasingly connected to the Internet in fast and reliable ways. These connections pave the way for networked services, i.e. services that gain their value through their connectivity. READ MORE
