C. elegans PAQR-2 ‒ A Regulator of Membrane Homeostasis
(2016-04-26)The progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) protein family is characterized by a 7-transmembrane domain, and a topology reversed that of G-protein coupled receptors, i.e. the N-terminus resides in the cytoplasm. Despite the ... -
Calcium transport in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas - in a changing environment
(2019-09-23)Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is globally one of the most important farmed bivalve species. A prominent features of the C. gigas is the thick CaCO3 shell covering the body of the animal and protecting it from the ... -
Calibration of medical displays
(2015-09-02)Calibration of medical displays is important in order for images to be displayed consistently. A consistent appearance ensures that all images are always perceived in the same way regardless of display device, location and ... -
Carbon and nitrogen fluxes associated to marine and estuarine phytoplankton
(2018-05-14)Globally, mainly nitrogen or phosphorus is limiting the primary production. New nitrogen can enter estuarine ecosystems as nitrate from upwelling events, from river runoff, atmospheric deposition, or by nitrogen fixation. ... -
Carbon and nutrient cycling in Afromontane tropical forests at different successional stages
(2016-11-18)To date, studies of the carbon and nutrient cycling in tropical montane forests have been restricted to a few, mostly neotropical, sites. This thesis investigated the carbon and nutrient cycling of early (ES) and late (LS) ... -
Carbon cycling in Baltic Sea sediments – In situ investigations with benthic landers
(2018-05-25)Coastal seas, estuaries and continental shelves are the connection between land and the open ocean, and due to high productivity and strong influence from land a majority of the marine organic carbon (OC) cycling and ... -
Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapour Exchange within a Norway Spruce Canopy
(2012-05-04)Terrestrial ecosystems can act both as sinks and sources in the global carbon cycle. Forests are an important part of this system and a good understanding of their carbon balance is essential for assessments of the future ... -
Carbon Dynamics in Northern Marginal Seas
(2009-11-27)The marginal seas have, despite their relatively small area, an important role in the global carboncycle. They are largely influenced by carbon and nutrient fluxes from land and a large part of the biological production ... -
Carbon Nanotube Transistors: Nanotube Growth, Contact Properties and Novel Devices
(2010-04-13)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are envisioned to be used as the basic building blocks in future electronics due to their excellent electronic properties such as high mobility, compatibility with high-k dielectrics and small ... -
Carbon stock and fluxes in Nyungwe forest and Ruhande Arboretum in Rwanda
(2009-11-20)Conservation and sequestration of carbon in forest ecosystems are potential strategies to reduce or stabilize the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and mitigate climate change. Estimating the degree to which forest ... -
Carbonaceous Aerosol in Europe - out of the woods and into the blue?
(2015-09-03)Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere influences weather and climate and may have important health impacts. Regional scale chemical transport modelling aims to describe the composition of particulate matter, to track ... -
Cardiorespiratory function of euryhaline teleosts - Regulatory mechanisms, effects of warming and costs of osmoregulation
(2021-11-26)Teleost fishes have colonized almost every aquatic habitat on earth and exhibit adaptations that allow them to thrive in environments with very diverse physico-chemical properties. One fundamental environmental variable ... -
Cell Membrane Homeostasis in Mammals - The roles of ADIPOR2 and TLCD1 & 2
(2022-05-04)Ten nanometers. That is the approximate thickness of the plasma membrane that separates the extracellular space from the entire cellular machinery. An asymmetrical bilayer consisting of predominantly phospholipids in which ... -
Cellular Resilience and Fragility in Response to Environmental and Gene Expression Perturbations
(2012-08-30)Cells are constantly subjected to perturbations. Whether these are extracellular or intracellular, they can be detrimental to cellular fitness. The cell has evolved elaborate systems and mechanisms that allow it to remain ... -
Cellular Responses to Arsenite and Cadmium - Mechanisms of Toxicity and Defense in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2016-05-12)All biological systems have to cope with a wide range of metals that are present in the environment. Metals can be essential or beneficial for life, inert or non-essential and toxic, often depending on their chemical form ... -
Changes in near-surface winds across Sweden over the past decades - Observations and simulations
(2020-11-19)Driven by a combination of anthropogenic activities and climate changes, near- surface terrestrial winds displayed a large decrease in their magnitude in the past decades, named “stilling”, and a recent recovery in their ... -
Changes of evapotranspiration and water cycle in China during the past decades
(2010-02-09)Evapotranspiration is the second largest quantity in the water cycle and an important indicator for climate changes. Accurate estimations and better understanding of evapotranspiration are required in hydrologic studies ... -
The Chaperonin Containing TCP-1 : Interactions with the Mammalian Cytoskeleton
(2010-03-31)The eukaryotic Chaperonin Containing TCP-1 (CCT) is a heterooligomeric chaperonin essential for enabling the cytoskeletal proteins actin and tubulin to fold to their native state. The eight CCT subunits are encoded by ... -
Character and Function of Anammox Bacteria under Environmental Stress
(2013-09-16)During the last few decades observations of novel processes involved in nitrogen transformations have fundamentally challenged the view of pathways and controlling mechanisms during local and global nitrogen cycling. ... -
