2. 1. Celestial Orientation in Dim Light

   Author : Marie Dacke; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polarisation pattern; moon; polrised light detection; twilight; dim light; dung beetle; Zoologi; spider; vision; orientation; Zoology;

   Abstract : The polarization pattern of skylight offers many animals a reference for visual compass orientation. In those cases when this optical compass is identified, the receptors involved are often confined to a small part of an eye built predominantly for other visual tasks. READ MORE

4. 2. Regulation of GRAF1 membrane sculpting function during cell movement

   Author : Monika K. Francis; Richard Lundmark; Pekka Lappalainen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocytosis; migration; polarisation; tension; CLIC GEEC; GRAF1; Rho GTPase; Cdc42; Rab8; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

   Abstract : All eukaryotic cells rely on endocytic events to satisfy a constant need for nutrient and fluid uptake from their surroundings. Endocytosis-dependent turnover of cell surface constituents also serves to control signal transduction and establish morphological changes in response to extracellular stimuli. READ MORE

5. 3. Nuclear pore membrane glycoprotein 210 as a new marker for epithelial cells

   Author : Magnus Olsson; Neus Visa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Nuclear pore complex; gp210; Nulp1; epithelial cells; kidney development; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

   Abstract : Epithelial cell polarisation is a prerequisite for the branching morphogenesis in several organs. Differential screening techniques were used to identify genes, which are upregulated during induction of epithelium in early kidney development. READ MORE

6. 4. Theoretical Studies of Spin-Dependent Quantum Phenomena in Semiconductor Nanostructures

   Author : Patrik Brusheim; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zitterbewegung.; spin Hall effect; spintronics; Spin; quantum transport;

   Abstract : The study of spin transport has emerged at the forefront of condensed matter physics during the last decade. Much of the interest has undoubtedly been sparked by the advent of the spintronics paradigm and the idea of creating novel electronic devices based on the spin degree of freedom of the carriers.

7. 5. Majorana Representation in Quantum Optics : SU(2) Interferometry and Uncertainty Relations

   Author : Saroosh Shabbir; Gunnar Björk; Maria Chekhova; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Majorana representation; Quantum optics; interferometry; SU 2 group; angular momentum; arbitrary optical gates; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : The algebra of SU(2) is ubiquitous in physics, applicable both to the atomic spin states and the polarisation states of light. The method developed by Majorana and Schwinger to represent pure, symmetric spin-states of arbitrary value as a product of spin-1/2 states is a powerful tool that allows for a great conceptual and practical simplification.
