Bacteriophages present huge potential both as a resource for developing novel tools for bacterial diagnostics and for use in phage therapy. This potential is also valid for bacteriophages specific for Yersinia enterocolitica. To increase our knowledge of Y. enterocolitica- specific phages, we characterized two novel yersiniophages. The genomes of the bacteriophages vB_YenM_TG1 (TG1) and vB_YenM_φR

PROFESSOR PORTRAIT: Sanne Krogh Groth met Holger Schulze, newly appointed professor in Musicology at the Department for Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen, to a talk about anthropology of sound, sound studies, musical canons and ideology.

High levels of gene flow among partially isolated populations can overwhelm selection and limit local adaptation. This process, known as “gene swamping,” can homogenize genetic diversity among populations and reduce the capacity of a species to withstand rapid environmental change. We studied brown anole lizards (Anolis sagrei) distributed across seven islands in The Bahamas. We used microsatellit

The slopes of the Tågerup promontory in western Scania contain one of the largest known Mesolithic settlements that has ever been excavated in Scandinavia. The Tågerup site displays a unique combination of huts and houses, graves and wooden implements, flints and bones which constitute a 1500-year-long Mesolithic occupation sequence, dated 6500–5000 cal BC. During that time, there were gradual but

Spatial confinement induces microscopic ordering of fluids, which in turn alters many of their dynamic and thermodynamic properties. However, the isothermal compressibility has hitherto been largely overlooked in the literature, despite its obvious connection to the underlying microscopic structure and density fluctuations in confined geometries. Here, we address this issue by probing density prof

Smart, or responsive polymers can reversibly change their state of aggregation, thus switching from water-soluble to insoluble state, in response to minor changes in temperature, pH or solvent composition. Grafting of these polymers to solid surfaces imparts the surfaces with controllable wettability and adsorption behaviour. The review summarizes the theoretical models and the results of physical

The program system MOLCAS is a package for calculations of electronic and structural properties of molecular systems in gas, liquid, or solid phase. It contains a number of modern quantum chemical methods for studies of the electronic structure in ground and excited electronic states. A macromolecular environment can be modeled by a combination of quantum chemistry and molecular mechanics. It is f

Semiconducting indium sulfide (In2S3) has recently attracted considerable attention as a buffer material in the field of thin film photovoltaics. Compared with this growing interest, however, detailed characterizations of the crystal structure of this material are rather scarce and controversial. In order to close this gap, we have carried out a reinvestigation of the crystal structure of this mat

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is one of the most fundamental molecules of life as it encodes the basic structure of every living entity, including us. Not only is DNA responsible for precisely describing every single aspect that makes us, it also directly affects the world around us. Indeed, unlocking the genetic code embedded in DNA already enabled us to create new diagnostics that allow us to det

Att få uppleva rörelse är en stark drivkraft för att främja lärande och öka barns delaktighet i vardagen. Eldrivna hjälpmedel används för att ge barn möjlighet till självständig förflyttning men också för att förbättra deras psykosociala utveckling. Metoden Köra för att Lära utvecklades för barn och vuxna med stora kognitiva svårigheter och den är baserad på aktivitet och samspel under övning i el

Den här kunskapsöversikten fokuserar en viktig del av vad jag i en tidigare rapport (Larsson, 2016) kallar en tilltagande informationsasymmetri, nämligen profilering av konsumenter för kommersiella syften. I kunskapsöversikten tecknas kunskapsläget kring digital konsumentprofilering, framförallt utifrån en problematisering av detta rörliga och snabbt framväxande fält i relation till konsumentens i

Presents a research and re-evaluation of studies focusing on the Stone Age in Scania. This book addresses many issues concerned with the methodology of contract archaeology and how it differs from university-based research. Covering a long period from the first settlers in Scania, it contains lots of photographs, drawings and maps.
