2. 1. Attention capture by sudden and unexpected changes : a multisensory perspective

   Author : Erik Marsja; Jessica K. Ljungberg; Gregory Neely; Patrik Hansson; François Vachon; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Attention Capture; Tactile; Auditory; Visual; Crossmodal; Bimodal; Distraction; Short-term memory; Attention; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : The main focus for this thesis was cross-modal attention capture by sudden and unexpected sounds and vibrations, known as deviants, presented in a stream the same to-be-ignored stimulus. More specifically, the thesis takes a multisensory perspective and examines the possible similarities and differences in how deviant vibrations and sounds affect visual task performance (Study I), and whether the deviant and standard stimuli have to be presented within the same modality to capture attention away from visual tasks (Study II).

4. 2. Methods for Analyzing Genomes

   Author : Patrik L. Ståhl; Joakim Lundeberg; Ivo Gut; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; array; sequence capture; genotyping; trinucleotide threading; sequencing; massively parallel sequencing; single molecule sequencing; Visual DNA; p53; single nucleotide polymorphism; biomarker; Genetics; Genetik;

   Abstract : The human genome reference sequence has given us a two‐dimensional blueprint of our inherited code of life, but we need to employ modern‐day technology to expand our knowledge into a third dimension. Inter‐individual and intra‐individual variation has been shown to be larger than anticipated, and the mode of genetic regulation more complex. READ MORE

5. 3. Diversity of soil microbial communities: In the perspective of targeting functional genes

   Author : Lokeshwaran Manoharan; Biodiversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil; metagenomics; sequence capture; microbial communities; functional diversity; taxonomic diversity;

   Abstract : Abstract Intensive land use in agriculture can lead to higher loss of biodiversity in soils and subsequently carbon due to tillage and application of pesticides and fertilizers. The microbial communities are pivotal to ecosystem processes in soil such as nutrient cycling, soil formation and plant productivity and thus are affected by land use. READ MORE

6. 4. Diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites : Host specificity, genetic structure and infection patterns

   Author : Xi Huang; MEMEG; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Haemoproteus; Sequence capture; host specificity; quantitative PCR; phylogeny;

   Abstract : Parasites live on or inside their hosts and usually cause fitness loss, sometimes even lead to outbreaks of emerging infectious disease. Understanding how a parasite can infect its hosts (i.e., host specificity of the parasite) is important to both basic studies on disease evolution and the whole ecosystem health. READ MORE

7. 5. Using Trees to Capture Reticulate Evolution : Lateral Gene Transfers and Cancer Progression

   Author : Ali Tofigh; Jens Lagergren; Mike Steel; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lateral Gene Tranfer; Horizontal Gene Transfer; Cancer Progression; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : The historic relationship of species and genes are traditionally depicted using trees. However, not all evolutionary histories are adequately captured by bifurcating processes and an increasing amount of research is devoted towards using networks or network-like structures to capture evolutionary history.
