Rheological response to tectonic and volcanic deformation in Iceland
(2016-05-06)
Iceland is one of the few places in the world where a Mid-Oceanic Ridge (MOR) is exposed on land, and this gives good opportunity to study geodynamic processes. Spreading of Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge (MAR) segments in Iceland ...
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) ...
Estimating the Air-Water Gas Transfer Velocity during Low Wind Conditions
(2016-04-06)
The abundances of atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2, and methane, CH4, are increasing. These increases affect e.g., the global carbon cycle and the climate both regionally and globally. To better understand the present and ...
Timmerbyggnader - Tematiska undersökningar av traditionella timringsmetoder
(Hantverkslaboratoriet, Göteborgs universitet, 2016)
Multi-photon microscopy enhanced: Exploring annular beams and gold nano-particles for improved imaging
(2016-05-09)
Laser scanning multiphoton microscopy (MPM) has emerged as a powerful tool for non-invasive three-dimensional imaging of biological tissue. The localized focal region enables confocality without the use of a physical pinhole ...
The Extended Role of the Molecular Chaperone CCT
(2016-03-23)
The oligomeric chaperone CCT is a large ATP-dependent chaperonin that consists of two
rings placed back-to-back with eight different paralogous subunits with a size of ~ 55 kDa
that sit in each of the two rings. The ...
Insights into Marine Fish Physiology in a Changing World
(2016-01-15)
Ocean acidification and global warming are largely caused by increased levels of atmospheric CO2, and marine fish are exposed to both these stressors simultaneously. Although the effects of temperature on fish have been ...
Modelling of the daytime and night-time urban thermal environment
(2016-03-11)
The world’s urban population is expected to increase over the coming decades. To maintain and improve the health and well-being of urban citizens, it is important to increase our knowledge and develop methods for evaluating ...
Systems-level investigation of the interaction between glucose metabolism and the Snf1/Mig1 signalling pathway
(2016-11-21)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Snf1 and its mammalian homolog, AMPK, are members of a protein kinase family present throughout the Eukaryotic kingdom. AMPK plays an essential role in different cellular processes and is involved ...
On the role of actin in yeast protein quality control
(2016-04-25)
Every cell is equipped with a protein quality control system to ensure the proper
function of proteins. This is essential for both cell maintenance and the generation of
new and healthy cells. In this thesis, the budding ...
