Foraging behaviour in piscivorous fish: mechanisms and patterns

Mechanistic understanding of piscivore foraging at the individual level is important in order to understand and make predictions of piscivore effects at population and community levels. To understand the mechanisms affecting selection and consumption rates each step in the foraging cycle (search, encounter, active choice, attack, capture, ingestion, digestion) should be studied. In my studies of d

From Sequence to Structure- Characterizing Human and Plant Aquaporins

Popular Abstract in Swedish Biokemi, livets kemi, är den gren av naturvetenskapen som avhandlar de molekyler och kemiska processer som är nödvändiga för allt levandes existens. Genom att karakterisera livets molekyler och deras funktion vill man öka förståelsen kring vad som krävs för att en organism ska kunna leva, växa, fortplanta sig och anpassa sej till nya miljöer och förhållanden. Som biokemAquaporins constitute a class of membrane proteins that create pores through the lipid bilayer of biological membranes, facilitating the passage of water and other small solutes. Nearly all living organisms possess a more or less intricate set up of aquaporin proteins and the importance of these channels has been implicated in many aspects of health and disease. The aim of the projects summarized

ICT, learning and the potential of androgynity

Baylor and collaborators have demonstrated (Baylor & Plant, 2005; Baylor et. al., 2006) that the use of virtual pedagogical coaches portrayed as young and attractive women can increase the willingness of female students to apply for technical education and to help increase their selfefficacy. Pedagogical processes such as role modelling and identification seem to be involved (cf. Bandura, 1977

A PSPACE complete problem related to a pebble game

The pebble game on AND/OR dags which is natural generalization of a well known pebble game on dags is considered. The following problem is given: if k pebbles are enough to place a pebble on a given vertex of an AND/OR dag. It is shown that the problem is log-space complete for languages accepted in polynomial space.

Public safety investigations - a new evolutionary step in safety enhancement?

Over the past years, natural catastrophes have disrupted society: the tsunami in December 2004, hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, the earthquakes in Pakistan in 2005, causing massive material destruction and human suffering. In addition, technological accidents in transport, energy and process industry undermine the public faith in risk management, while the uncontrolled spreading of diseas

Abstract in UndeterminedThis article reports a consensus that was reached at an Advanced Workshop in Experimental Hypnosis held as part of the joint annual conference of the British Society of Medical and Dental Hypnosis (BSMDH) and the British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis(BSECH). The unanimous consensus was that conventional definitions of hypnosis and hypnotizability are logical
