This thesis is a summary of six papers which concern synthesis of optically active bicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives. The derivatives prepared are important building blocks in a study towards a possible replacement of the diterpenoidic part of taxol, (baccatin III), so as to construct a taxol mimic. Some of the derivatives have also been developed into new bidentate ligands. TitaniumIV complexes of

The paper presents theory and simple expressions to estimate adjacent-channel leakage power ratio (ACLR or ACPR) with WCDMA signals that greatly simplify the design of analog circuits. High accuracy is obtained when the AM/AM and AM/PM conversion can be modeled by a polynomial of reasonable order. Results based on a power amplifier and a low-noise amplifier give less than 1dB estimation error for

It is increasingly suggested that societies must be resilient to be safe and sustainable. While there are many approaches to resilience available, not all of them operationalize the concept to the extent of guiding what to look for when observing actual communities. This is a requisite for linking the conceptual and the actual, and vital for our ability to develop societal resilience. Drawing on r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tyfoidfeber är en sjukdom som orsakas av bakterien Salmonella typhi. Denna bakterie, som sprids via vatten eller föda, orsakar buksmärtor, feber och illamående. Om infektionen inte behandlas med antibiotika, kan bakterien sprida sig till blodet och leda till döden. Årligen rapporteras 16 miljoner fall av salmonella i världen och av dessa får ungefär 600 000 dödlig utgånThis study investigates the interaction between dendritic cells (DC) and the Gram negative intracellular bacterium Salmonella typhimurium. Using in vitro and in vivo approaches, the capacity of DC to directly and indirectly present antigens from Salmonella-infected cells, cytokine production by infected DC, and activation of bacteria-specific T cells was analyzed. These studies revealed differenti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modeller för proteinveckning utvecklas och tillämpas på peptider och små proteiner som har både α-helix- och β-blad-struktur. Energifunktionerna, i vilka effektiva hydrofobicitetskrafter och vätebindningar är de två centrala termerna, är helt sekvensbaserade och har medvetet hållits enkla. Den geometriska representationen av proteinkedjorna är däremot detaljerad och harModels for potein folding are developed and applied to peptides and small proteins with both α-helix and β-sheet structure. The energy functions, in which effective hydrophobicity forces and hydrogen bonds are taken to be the two central terms, are sequence-based and deliberately kept simple. The geometric representations of the protein chains are, by contrast, detailed and have torsion angles as

To study the process of domestic market integration in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (hereafter Lao PDR), this chapter explores the spatial variation in beer prices and its relationship with transport costs and various local market characteristics. More specifically, we study how the price of a 640 ml bottle of Beer Lao varies across the country. In a well- integrated market, we expect the law

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arcanobacterium haemolyticum (A. haemolyticum) beskrevs för första gången under namnet Corynebacterim haemolyticum av MacLean och medarbetare 1946. Bakterien odlades fram från svalget hos patienter med halsont och från sår. Patienterna bestod av amerikanska soldater och infödda öbor i Stilla havet. Från olika delar av världen har senare beskrivits halsont och utslag hosIn an 18-month period all throat cultures in our laboratory were examined for Arcanobacterium haemolyticum and clinical information was obtained. The great majority of the patients suffered from pharyngitis or tonsillitis, accompanied by a rash in 46% of cases. One third of the patients had a history of recurrent tonsillitis. Three types of exanthema was described, scarlatiniform, urticarial and e

The aim of this book is to explore how contemporary notions of reconciliation as a process of building, rebuilding and transforming relationships may be applied not only to “race” but also to gender relations in post-apartheid and post-TRC South Africa. After highlighting links between the past, the present and the future with regard to such relations in wider South African society, critical quest
