Negotiating ‘Culture’, Assembling a Past: the Visual, the Non-Visual and the Voice of the Silent Actant
(2012-09-12)
The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyse the processes surrounding the creation of a scientific visual representation, where, both in the practical creation of this visualisation and in the way it is communicated, ...
New single particle methods for detection and characterization of nanoparticles in environmental samples
(2013-11-28)
Nanoparticles (NP) are being used in rapidly increasing quantities which has resulted in concerns about possible harmful effects for health and environment. NP are already undergoing similar risk assessment programs as ...
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 ...
Determine the developmental dynamics of primordial follicles in the mouse ovary
(2014-04-15)
Ovarian follicles are the basic functional units of the mammalian ovary. Progressive activation of primordial follicles serves as the source of fertilizable ova. In this thesis, by generating the Foxl2-CreERT2 and ...
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 ...
Regulation and transport mechanisms of eukaryotic aquaporins
(2013-01-11)
Aquaporins are found in all kingdoms of life where they are involved in water homeostasis. They are small transmembrane water conducting channels that belong to the ancient protein family Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIP). ...
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 ...
Assessment of dietary patterns and prey consumption of marine mammals: Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) in the Baltic Sea
(2012-02-09)
The Baltic Sea has been severely affected by pollution and resource overexploitation during the last centuries. The grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) is a good example of how a species can be affected by such changes. In the ...
General stress proteins: Novel function and signals for induction of stationary phase genes in E.coli
(2010-05-04)
Survival during conditions when nutrients become scarce requires adaptation and expression of genes for maintenance in order for the cell to survive. Among the numerous proteins involved in adaptation and regulation under ...
