This thesis is concerned primarily with peptide and protein partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems and the connection between partitioning behavior and protein structure. The surface properties of a protein is often crucial for recognition and interaction with other molecules. Important functional residues can be identified by mutational analysis. There is a need for rapid methods to study prot

We give a new proof of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture: that local solvability of principal type pseudodifferential operators is equivalent to condition (Psi). This condition rules out sign changes from - to + of the imaginary part of the principal symbol along the oriented bicharacteristics of the real part. We obtain local solvability by proving a localizable a priori estimate for the adjoint op

Gendered differences concerning intellectual and physical religious expressions in medieval Europe have previously been discussed by several medievalists. It has been suggested that medieval male piety was expressed primarily in practical and intellectual terms within canonical rituals and in verbalized form in prayers and mass. Female piety, on the other hand, is thought to have been expressed in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Plasmasprutning är en process för beläggning av tunna skikt av olika material såsom metallegeringar, polymerer och keramer. Användningsområdena är åtskilliga, från titanstekpannor till oxidationskydd och värmeisolerande skikt i JAS planets motor. Plasmasprutnings processen genererar en plasmalåga när en gas, vanligtvis argon, sönderdelas mha elektrisk energi. PlasmalågaThe aim of this thesis is to enhance the overall understanding of the plasma spray process and increase control and reproducibility of the coating properties. This was performed by establishment of relationships between controllable process parameters, in-flight properties of the injected particles (velocity and temperature), and microstructure properties. The relationships were used to establish

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt liv på jorden bygger på fotosyntesen. Det är den process där växterna fångar upp solljuset och gör om det till kemisk energi. Med den energin producerar de syret i luften och kolhydrater för sin egen tillväxt, med kol från luftens koldioxid. Djuren äter kolhydraterna och förbränner dem med hjälp av luftens syre, samtidigt som de andas ut koldioxid. På detta sätt leIn this work the lateral heterogeneity of the thylakoid membrane was investigated by quantifying the amount of photosystem I (PSI), photosystem II (PSII) and some PSII complexes and PSII proteins in different domains of the thylakoid. Grana, grana core, grana margins and stroma lamellae + end fractions were obtained by sonication and separation in a non-detergent, aqueous polymer two-phase system

The paper deals with various initiatives undertaken, or to be undertaken, by Government of Botswana, and which may be looked upon as "Information Society" initiatives. These initiatives are critically analysed and conclusions are drawn from the authors' analysis. Based on conclusions, the authors make certain recommendations regarding implementation of the initiatives.
