Eukaryotic cells possess sensitive systems for the detection of microbes and microbial-derived products. Bacteria-eukaryotic cells contact triggers several signaling pathways, most of which are dependent on protein-protein interactions followed by phosphorylation, leading to activation of defense mechanisms. Yersinia bacteria have evolved different strategies to interfere with eukaryotic host defe

Four in-line tube bundles with different geometry were investigated for establishing their performance in terms of heat transfer enhancement. Two-phase aqueous foam was used as a coolant. Such coolant was considered, because our previous research showed that large heat transfer intensity may be reached even at small mass flow rate of the foam. Spacing among the centres of the tubes across the firs

High-angular-momentum states in Zn-64 were populated in the Ca-40(Si-28,4p) reaction at a beam energy of 122 MeV. Evaporated, light, charged particles were identified by the Microball, while gamma rays were detected using the Gammasphere array. The main focus of this paper is on two strongly coupled, collective bands. The yrast band, which was previously known, has been linked to lower-lying state

For biomass fuelled CHP in sizes below 100 kW, Stirling engines are the only feasible alternative today. Using wood powder as fuel, the Stirling engine can be heated directly by the flame like when using a gaseous or liquid fuel burner. However, the combustion chamber will have to be much larger due to the slow burning of the fuel. To avoid sintering of ash the flame temperature in a biomass burne

Jones (2002) identified several discourse functions of antonymy, each of which is loosely associated with a number of contrastive constructions in written English. Subsequent work (Jones, 2006; Jones and Murphy, 2005; Murphy and Jones, 2008) demonstrated that these functions are found in other modalities/registers of English, albeit with some differences in distribution. This article takes a first

A fully integrated differential class-AB power amplifier has been designed in a 0.25 um CMOS technology. It is intended for medium output power ranges such as Bluetooth class 1, and has an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz. By using two parallel output stages that can be switched on or off, a high efficiency can be achieved for both high and low output power levels. The simulated maximum output powe

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna studie har de grundläggande aspekterna på mass- och värmetransport i membrantekniken pervaporation studerats. Speciell tonvikt har lagts vid pervaporations användbarhet i samband med aromämnesåtervinning. Masstransporten i pervaporation påverkas av ett yttre masstransport- motstånd kallat koncentrationpolarisation. Detta fenomen kan orsaka att fluxen av de seleIn this study, the fundamental mass and heat transfer properties of the membrane separation process called pervaporation were investigated. The suitability of pervaporation for aroma compound recovery was especially evaluated. The mass transfer in pervaporation is affected by an external mass transfer resistance in the liquid feed boundary layer, i.e. the concentration polarization phenomenon. Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Anpassningen av geofysiska metoder till infrastrukturtillämpningar är en viktig del i utvecklingen av geoteknisk förundersökningsmetodik. Det som här benämns geotekniska förundersökningar hänvisar till alla undersökningar som görs före eller under konstruktion, alltså sådana som syftar till att stödja och förbättra en konceptuell geologisk modell så väl som sådana som sThe adaptation of geophysical methods for civil engineering purposes represents an important contribution to the development of geotechnical site investigation methodology. The term geotechnical site investigation here refers to all investigations performed prior to or during construction; i.e. investigations to support and refine a conceptual geological model as well as to provide a model of geot

En tredjedel av Sveriges högskolestudenter studerar idag på distans. SCB genomförde därför 2012 studien - Distansutbildning på högskolan, med syfte att kartlägga studenters avsikter, attityder, samt den upplevda kvaliteten av distansutbildningen. Resultatet visade att: Studenter är nöjda Intresset för ämnet är avgörande Flertalet avser inte att slutföra distanskursen Distansstudier är en bisyss

Translated, "Gene Technology and the Public. An Interdisciplinary Perspective (eds Susanne Lundin & Malin Ideland), Nordic Academic Press, 2000.

From its early days, the academic debate on public goods has focused on discrepancies or trade-offs regarding the provision of public goods on the one hand and private goods on the other. However, both the extension of the public domain and an increasing interdependence in international relations clearly drive the expansion of an agenda in which there are a growing number of cases where public goo

I ett oroligt och våldsdrabbat Palestina satsade Anglikanska kyrkan på fredsbyggande utbildning under den brittiska mandatstiden 1920-1948. Intentionen bakom skolorna var dialog mellan barn av olika trosuppfattningar som indirekt skulle syfta till fredsfostran. I de anglikanska skolorna blandades judiska, kristna och muslimska elever med olika nationell bakgrund. Detta var ett unikt försök att sk
