Popular Abstract in Swedish Det här är en studie av Wallace Stevens poetik och poesi med inriktning på 1930-talet, då hans poesi påverkades av en kraftig kulturell press på socialt engagemang och politisk användbarhet. Argumentet framställer hur olika men samverkande element i hans poetiska språk, som diktion, prosodi och metafor, under den här perioden utnyttjas för att skapa ett intryck av estetThis dissertation studies Wallace Stevens? ideas and practice of poetic language with a focus on the 1930s, an era in which Stevens persistently thematized a keenly felt pressure for the possible social involvement and political utility of poetic language. The argument suggests how mutually implicated elements of his poetry such as diction, prosody and metaphor are relied on to signify or enact ae

In this book, three historical macro-regions are analysed: East Asia, Southeast Asia and Mesoamerica. By comparing three very different historiographical patterns from the specific point of view of social militarisation, we gain an outsider's perspective that proves to be very illuminating. Due to structural features of the various scholarly arenas the three regions turn out very differently. Some

TiO2(B), a potential catalyst support, has been synthesized from a support precursor, K2Ti4O9. High resolution electron microscopy revealed that the 32% volume loss in this transformation is achieved by formation of facetted microvoids, around 10 nm in size, maintaining the morphology and size of the original crystals. A structural mechanism, including a hypothetical structure for a K2Ti 2O5 inter

Eukaryotic protein kinases, containing a conserved catalytic domain, represent one of the largest superfamilies of the eukaryotic proteins and play distinct roles in cell signaling and diseases. Near completion of rat genome sequencing project enables the evaluation of a near complete set of rat protein kinases. Publicly accessible genetic sequence databases were searched for rat protein kinases,

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att celler ska kunna växa och dela sig behöver de många olika ämnen, till exempel vitaminer, mineraler och polyaminer. Polyaminer finns i alla celler och de krävs för att cellerna ska kunna dela eller specialisera sig. Cellerna kan både själva tillverka polyaminer och ta upp dem från omgivningen. I mänskliga celler finns framför allt de tre polyaminerna putrescin, sOur research group has previously shown that treatment with the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or amidinoindan-1-one 2´-amidinohydrazone (CGP 48664) inhibited S phase progression before any other cell cycle phase was affected. This study was undertaken to further investigate the role of polyamines in the regulation of S phase progression and DNA synthesis. I hav

We report quasiparticle calculations of the newly observed wurtzite polymorph of InAs and GaAs. The calculations are performed in the GW approximation (based on a model dielectric function) using plane waves and pseudopotentials. For comparison we also report the study of the zinc-blende phase within the same approximations. In the InAs compound the In 4d electrons play a very important role: whet

Objectives: With the introduction of sildenafil citrate (VIAGRA (TM)), the concept of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition has gained tremendous interest in the field of urology. Cyclic nucleotide second messengers cGMP and cAMP have been assumed to be involved in the control of the normal function of the prostate. The aim of the present study was to evaluate by means of immunohistochemistry the exp

Macro- and microphase separation of compatibilizing graft copolymers in melt-mixed polystyrene/polyamide-6 blends was studied by transmission electron microscopy and thermal analysis. Three different graft copolymers with main chains of polystyrene and side chains of poly(ethylene oxide) were used as additives at various concentrations. The polyamide-6 domain sizes decreased with increasing amount

Greater wax moths (Galleria mellonella L., Pyraloidea) use ultrasound sensitive ears to detect clicking conspecifics and echolocating bats. Pyralid ears have four sensory cells, A14. The audiogram of G. mellonella has best frequency at 60 kHz with a threshold around 47 dB sound pressure level. A1 and A2 have almost equal thresholds in contrast to noctuids and geometrids. A3 responds at + 12 to + 1
