Little is known about the genus Philornis (comprising ~50 species), a group of muscid flies that parasitise birds and may be highly detrimental to host nestlings. Philornis species affect at least 115 species of bird, particularly in the Neotropics. The main distribution of Philornis is in Central and South America, extending to the southern United States. Larvae of the genus Philornis reside in b
Lärobok i grundläggande komplex analys (och serier), i första hand avsedd för civilingenjörsutbildningar. Boken är lättläst, utan att göra avkall på den matematiska noggrannheten och stringensen. För många studenter är kursen i funktionsteori det första mötet med modern matematisk analys, boken är skriven på ett sådant sätt att läsaren får så mycket hjälp som möjligt att gradvis vänja sig vid det
This study looks into a concept of Supply Chain Management that has received a lot of interest in both industry and academia, Vendor Managed Inventory, a concept that changes the traditional order-to-delivery process from having a customer placing orders to a supplier, to instead having the supplier be responsible for placing orders and keeping customer inventory levels within agreed limits. Most
The topic of this thesis is technology and experimental studies of electron transport in Indium Arsenide (InAs) nanowires and InAs nanowire junctions. The aim of this work has been fabrication of nanoelectronic devices which have possibilities for future nanoelectronics. The first chapter gives an introduction to modern electronics and some important concepts. The second chapter presents an overvi
As a result of the reorganization of Lund Institute of Technology at Lund University, the new Department of Design Sciences was established. In focus of the establishment of this Department was the ambition to facilitate cross-disciplinary research within the design area. The project presented here is one of the first results of this ambition. In this project the overall objective is the increase
During the prolonged course of chronic viral infection there is a continuous reciprocal interaction between the host immune defence system and the viral immunogens, and viral genetic mutations capable of circumventing host immune defence could be selected for. Our observation of increasing prevalence of heterogeneity in the DNA sequence coding for the ‘a1 determinant of HBsAg in patients with pres
Popular Abstract in Swedish När en skada på ett kärl uppstår sätts blodkoagulationen igång. En rad reaktioner mellan olika proteiner, såsom proenzymer, enzymer och kofaktorer sker då på negativt laddade ytor som exponeras i samband med skadan. Därigenom omvandlas flytande blod till levrat blod och kärlskadan täpps igen. Faktor V är en viktig komponent i blodkoagulationen. I koagulationsprocessens Coagulation factor V (FV) is activated by thrombin through proteolytic cleavage at Arg-709, Arg-1018 and Arg-1545. Upon thrombin activation, the active form of factor V (FVa) is formed. FVa functions as a cofactor to factor Xa in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin during coagulation. Recently, it was shown that in addition to being a precursor form of the procoagulant FVa, FV functions as a
