Popular Abstract in Swedish En bakteries förmåga att orsaka sjukdom beror till viss del på vilka molekyler, så kallade virulensfaktorer, som bakterien kan utsöndra eller har på sin yta, samt på hur effektivt värdens immunförsvar är. I människans försvar mot infektioner spelar inflammation och koagulation en stor roll. Exempelvis kan infektionen avgränsas med ett olösligt koagel och vita blodkroppaLife-threatening conditions from bacterial infections are a major clinical problem. During a severe infection, the host responds by a massive release of pro-inflammatory mediators together with a systemic activation of systems such as the coagulation, fibrinolytic, and complement systems. These events could result in the development of complications such as disseminated intravascular coagulation a

The biotechnology industry has grown considerably over the past twenty years, and the revolution within the field of molecular biology has dramatically improved the possibilities of producing proteins and other important biomolecules. The product of interest will be obtained in a multi-component solution and some challenging purification work has to be performed to recover the target molecule in a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad pysslar kräftorna med? Kräftor äter allt! Jag har visat att kräftor äter gamla blad från träd, alger, vattenväxter och även smådjur som till exempel sländlarver, iglar och sövattensgråsuggor. Dessa olika typer av mat har olika näringsvärde. Om vi jämför med vad vi äter så är det ju uppenbart att t.ex. västerbottenpaj och kokta kräftor har olika näringsvärde. Pajen I show that crayfish consume detritus, algae, macrophytes, and an array of invertebrates. Crayfish were found to reduce invertebrate densities. However, prey mobility seemed to be a key factor regulating the strength of interactions between crayfish and prey. Since crayfish seek to maximize growth, they benefit from feeding on invertebrates, shown to promote high growth rates. I found crayfish to

Popular Abstract in Swedish I takt med att fossila bränslen, så som olja och bensin, minskar av jordens resurser så ökar tyvärr samtidigt förbrukningen och därmed efterfrågan på mer bränsle. Detta beror delvis på ökningen av antalet fordon samt på den ökande transportsektorn i världen. De enorma koldioxidutsläppen fortsätter att förstöra vår miljö. I ett kraftfullt försök att minska utsläppen och This thesis focuses on the electromagnetic design of a synchronous machine suited for a belt-driven alternator and starter (BAS) in a micro hybridisation of a mid-size passenger car. The BAS needs to provide a high cranking torque to start the combustion engine, especially in a cool condition where the requirements are highest. Besides the high cranking torque it is desirable to have high power pe

A box graph is the intersection graph of a finite set of orthogonal rectangles in the plane. The problem of whether or not the maximum independent set problem (MIS for short) for box graphs can be approximated within a substantially sub-logarithmic factor in polynomial time has been open for several years. We show that for box graphs on n vertices which have an independent set of size Ω(n/logO(1)n

In the world of cryptography, stream ciphers are known as primitives used to ensure privacy over a communication channel. One common way to build a stream cipher is to use a keystream generator to produce a pseudo-random sequence of symbols. In such algorithms, the ciphertext is the sum of the keystream and the plaintext, resembling the one-time pad principal. Although the idea behind stream ciphe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mykorrhiza är symbiosen mellan växters rötter och olika svampar. När en symbios har etablerats i en rot växer svampens mycel ut i marken och tar där upp näring som levereras till växten. I denna avhandling studerades hur man kan mäta detta mycel i marken med hjälp av biokemiska markörer. Vidare studerades hur detta myces påverkar övriga mikroorganismer i marken.The interactions between external mycorrhizal mycelia and saprophytic microorganisms were studied in experiments with growth chambers specially designed to enable the mycelia to develop in root-free soil compartments. The growth of the mycorrhizal mycelia was estimated by use of biochemical signature compounds. It was shown possible to estimate the biomass of the external mycelium of different ar
