Evidence for adaptive variation at the genes coding for cytosolic phosphoglucose isomerase (PGIC) in Festuca ovina L.

Popular Abstract in English Darwin’s masterpiece “On the origin of species” describes how populations (one group of individuals from the same species that can easily mate with each other and that occupy the same geographic area) evolve through the process of natural selection, which can be shortly abbreviated as the survival of the fittest. More specifically, the individuals within one population The gene (Pgi) encoding the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) which plays a central role in the main pathways of carbon metabolism has been shown to be of adaptive significance in a wide range of different species. Earlier studies of enzyme electromorph variation in the grass Festuca ovina suggest that variation in cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be involved in the adaptive response of F. ovina to th

Thread-level speculation as an optimization technique in Web Applications — Initial results

Web Applications have become increasingly popular as they allow developers to use an uniform platform for user interactions. The dynamic programming language JavaScript used in most Web Applications has performance penalties, that have been addressed by traditional optimization techniques. We have found that while the performance gain of such techniques are positive for a set of established benchm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes (även kallat sockersjuka eller åldersdiabetes) är en av våra vanligaste förekommande folksjukdomar och ungefär 5% av alla människor beräknas ha sjukdomen. Typ 2 diabetes karakteriseras av kroniskt förhöjda blodsocker-nivåer som orsakas dels av en oförmåga hos insulin att befrämja blodsockerupptag i dess målvävnader, fett och muskel, och dels av en oförmågType 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from pancreatic dysfunction and insulin resistance. It is a common disorder with a complex pattern of inheritance, likely to reflect the influence of multiple genetic and environmental factors on the diabetes risk. The aim of thesis was to identify genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes. In a g
