Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: När udda blir mainstream - om stress och likriktning i växtsamhället I skogen råder stress på många sätt, och precis som i det mänskliga samhället har stressen i växtsamhället ökat under de senaste decennierna. Dessa händelser har heller inte skett oberoende av varandra. Vårt allt snabbare tempo med krav på ökad tillväxt har inte baSoil acidification has become a source of serious concern in many parts of the world. In southern Sweden, the deposition of acidifying substances, such as nitrogen and sulphur compounds, has decreased the mean pH of forest soils by almost one unit since the 1950s. Apart from H+ ions themselves being harmful to plant roots, the potential toxicity of aluminium (Al) is increased when pH drops below 5

The growing social polarisation in Swedish society has increased the differences between pour and rich districts in the larger cities. The situation is worst in the housing areas built in the 1960s. But although Swedish urban policy has aimed for several decades at controlling segregation through extraordinary efforts in vulnerable housing areas, there is nothing to indicate that the processes of

An Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based multi-user massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system is considered. The problem of high Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) in OFDM based systems is well known and the large number of antennas (RF-chains) at the Base Station (BS) in massive MIMO systems aggravates this further, since large numbers of these Power Amplifiers (PAs) are use

119 volumes of early printed sermons (incunabula) reproduced in full on microfiche. Most of the sermons are in Latin, but some are in the European vernaculars (English, High German, Low German, French, Spanish).

Failure to express the Gimap5 protein is associated with lymphopenia (lyp) and linked to spontaneous diabetes in the diabetes-prone BioBreeding (BBDP) rat. Gimap5 is a member of seven related genes located within 150 Kb on rat chromosome 4. Congenic DR.lyp/lyp rats, where BBDP lyp was introgressed onto the diabetes-resistant BBDR background (BBDR.BBDP.lyp/lyp), all develop diabetes between 46 and

[Context and motivation] This research preview presents ongoing work on a free software requirements modeling tool called reqT that is developed in an educational context. [Question/problem] The work aims to engage computer science students in Requirements Engineering (RE) through a tool that captures essential RE concepts in executable code. [Principal ideas] Requirements are modeled using an int

Popular Abstract in Swedish I en normalt fungerande organism är det en balans mellan cellproliferation, celldifferentiering och celldöd. Olika typer av störningar av denna balansen resulterar i olika typer av sjukdomar. Denna avhandlingen handlar om när det är för lite celldöd och celldifferentiering och ökad cellproliferation. Detta leder till okontrollerad cell proliferering och resulterar i canIn the normal functioning organism, there is a balance between cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell death. An imbalance in these processes results in different diseases. This thesis concerns the imbalance where there is too little cell death and cell differentiation with increased cell proliferation. The result is uncontrolled cell proliferation resulting in the development of cancer

The lichen flora of the Nordic countries, containing about 2,000 species, is regarded as one of the best known in the world. Lichenological research of the region has been continuous since the time of Erik Acharius (1757-1819), the 'father of lichenology', but there is no modern treatment of the region's impressive lichen flora. The last attempt was made in the 1870s by Th. M. Fries, but his major

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnan är ett komplext system, som är uppbyggd av många olika sorters celler. Alla dessa celler har sitt ursprung i en speciell typ av cell, stamcellen. Neurala stamceller är omogna celler som har förmågan att genom delning både föröka sig själva genom att bilda fler stamceller, och ge upphov till de olika mogna celltyper som finns i hjärnan. Mycket av intresset för deThe molecular specification of neural precursor cells has been suggested to be a progressive process, with a transition from an early requirement for extrinsic signals to intrinsic mechanisms. Thus, the cells in the nervous system acquire distinct fates in response to extrinsic signals, which activate repertoires of transcription factors in a region and cell type specific manner. The studies in th
