Adaptation and Protein Quality Control Under Metalloid Stress
(2015-04-22)
Toxic metals and metalloids are emerging as major environmental pollutants, having ecological consequences as well as being linked to a broad range of degenerative conditions in animals, plants and humans. While the toxicity ...
Nanoparticles from shipping and road traffic
(2015-05-07)
In the urban environment road traffic is the dominant source of aerosol particles while in
coastal and harbour areas shipping is also a significant source. For shipping there are no direct
regulations regarding particle ...
Colour signalling in widowbirds and bishops
(2015-08-28)
Sexual selection, i.e. differential mating success due to contest competition or mate choice, has produced an amazing diversity of elaborate sexual signals across the animal kingdom, not least the dazzling colours of birds. ...
Patterns of evolution in a young species, the Baltic seaweed Fucus radicans
(2015-04-29)
To be able to interpret patterns of biodiversity it is important to understand the processes by
which new species evolve and how closely related species remain reproductively isolated and ecologically differentiated. This ...
Ecophysiology of Polar Sea Ice Microorganisms in a Changing World
(2015-10-05)
Earth’s oceans are predominantly cold, with nearly 90% of their volume having temperatures below 5 °C. Microorganisms commonly referred to as psychrophiles have adapted to the temperatures of these cold waters. The most ...
Topics on Harmonic analysis and Multilinear Algebra
(2015-09-23)
The present thesis consists of six different papers. Indeed, they treat three different research areas: function spaces, singular integrals and multilinear algebra. In paper I, a characterization of continuity of the ...
Angular dynamics of small particles in fluids
(2015-11-20)
This thesis concerns the angular motion of small particles suspended in fluid flows. A small particle experiences a hydrodynamic torque due to the local fluid velocity, and this torque leads to rotational motion. When ...
Characterization of Amino Acid tRNA Ligases using the Analytical Ultracentrifuge
(2015-09-09)
ABSTRACT.
Quaternary structures of amino acid tRNA ligases/synthetases (aaRS) in the native as well as in denatured forms were examined by molecular weight determinations (paper I-IV). Analytical ultracentrifugation, ...
Chemical mixtures and interactions with detoxification mechanisms and biomarker responses in fish
(2015-01-09)
Several classes of anthropogenic chemicals are present as mixtures in the aquatic environment. However, information of how wildlife species, including fish, are affected by exposures to chemical mixtures is limited. Chemicals ...
Ion Transport in Chloroplasts with Role in Regulation of Photosynthesis
(2015-09-14)
Photosynthesis is the primary energy source of almost all ecosystems on
Earth. Oxygenic photosynthesis has appeared approximately 2.4 billion years ago
and has since then gradually evolved into the complex process that ...
