Spectral properties of elliptic operators in singular settings and applications
(2019-05-22)
The present thesis is focused on the investigation of the spectral properties of the linear elliptic operators in the presence of singularities. It is divided into three chapters.
In the first chapter, we consider ...
Microcrystallization in lipidic cubic phase and serial crystallography studies of cytochrome c oxidase
(2019-11-07)
Life in all living organisms depend on chemical processes performed by proteins, which are molecular machineries encoded in the DNA. Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is a membrane protein essential for cellular respiration, a ...
Microplastics in the aquatic environment: Insights into biological fate and effects in fish
(2019-03-26)
According to the United Nations, plastic pollution in the natural environment has been identified as one of the biggest environmental challenges of this century and has become a cause for an emerging international concern. ...
Heathlands – A Lost World?
(2019-05-03)
Heathland is a familiar landscape type in southwest Sweden. It is open with few trees, and the vegetation is dominated by dwarf-shrubs growing on nutrient-poor soils. Dry heaths with Heather Calluna vulgaris and wet heaths ...
Structure-based drug design applied to the antibacterial target MraY
(2019-12-10)
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to human health of our time. We are being warned of a so-called post-antibiotic era, where a simple surgery or bacterial infection could kill human beings. Without the ...
Anti-Virulence Strategy Targeting Sortase A, A Structural Investigation of the Sortase A Enzyme, and the Identification, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Sortase A Inhibitors
(2019-09-20)
The emergence of multi-resistant bacteria and their continuous spread is one of the greatest challenges when treating bacterial infections. Increased understanding of bacterial pathogenesis has revealed new strategies for ...
Learning to solve problems that you have not learned to solve: Strategies in mathematical problem solving
(2019-08-16)
This thesis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between problem-solving strategies and success in mathematical problem solving. In its introductory part, it pursues and describes the term ...
Origin, evolution and biodiversity of the Neotropical herpetofauna: patterns and processes of the world’s richest and most threatened biota
(2019-09-16)
The biological diversity of tropical America (the Neotropics) is astonishing. However, even
among terrestrial vertebrates, most biogeographical patterns are not fully described nor understood,
especially for many Neotropical ...
DNA checkpoint override and redox signaling in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
(2019-10-25)
This thesis covers intracellular stress signaling through genotoxic stress,
overriding of checkpoint control, as well as cellular redox status in hypoxic and oxidative
stress
