The GC content in the third codon position (GC(3)) exhibits a unimodal distribution in many plant and animal genomes. Interestingly, grasses and homeotherm vertebrates exhibit a unique bimodal distribution. High GC(3) was previously found to be associated with variable expression, higher frequency of upstream TATA boxes, and an increase of GC(3) from 5' to 3'. Moreover, GC(3)-rich genes are predom
Background: Screening that includes digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with two-dimensional (2D) synthetic mammography (SM) or standard 2D digital mammography (DM) results in detection of more breast cancers than does screening with DM alone. A decrease in interval breast cancer rates is anticipated but is not reported. Purpose: To compare rates and characteristics of (a) interval breast cancer in
Abstract Noroviruses are now the leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. Noroviruses are effectively transmitted due to a low infectious dose, viral shedding in high concentrations, environmental stability, and they induce only a limited immunity after infection. Especially, the norovirus variants of genotype II.4 (GII.4) have seemed greatly adapted for pandemic spread. The high infectivity of
Renovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union. Reduction of energy use for existing buildings can be achieved through applying energy efficiency renovation measures. Besides this, there is quite a large renovation need in Sweden due to building materials and services reaching (or having passed) the end of their service life.IncoRenovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union.

Flame front structure is one of the most fundamental characteristics and, hence, vital for understanding combustion processes. Measuring flame front structure in turbulent flames usually needs laser-based diagnostic techniques, mostly planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). The equipment of PLIF, burdened with lasers, is often too sophisticated to be configured in harsh environments. Here, to sh
Winter cover crops could contribute to more sustainable agricultural production and increase resiliency to climate change; however, their adoption remains low in California. This paper seeks to understand barriers to winter cover crop adoption by monetizing their long-term economic and agronomic impacts on farm profitability in two of California's specialty crop systems: processing tomatoes and al
Objective: To facilitate a greater likelihood of favorable response to new disease-modifying therapies, recruitment of patients at an earlier stage of their disease into clinical trials may be an attractive strategy. Hence, there is a need to develop widely accepted classification criteria for early-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA). We have proposed a set of classification criteria for early-stage k
Background and issue of study: The global financial crisis, climate change, demographic changes, and rising inequality are some of the global trends that put pressure on public leaders and organizations, civil society organizations and corporations to shift to a social and environmental sustainable development. Social innovations are demanded to be both drivers of positive societal change and forc
Vätgas har potential i ett energilagringssystem eftersom det är en energibärare som är väldigt energirik och kan lagras i stor skala. Vätgas kan produceras enkelt via elektrolys av vatten och lagras i stora mängd under högt tryck, vid behov kan vätgasen sedan brännas i en kraftverksprocess och generera elektricitet. Då förbränning av vätgas med syrgas enbart bildar vattenånga kan ett förnybart eneHydrogen gas has potential to function as an energy storage solution due to its high energy content and its suitability for large scale storage. Hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis and can be stored in large scale under high pressure, when needed the hydrogen can be burned in a thermal power plant to generate electricity. Since combustion of hydrogen with pure oxygen only yields steam,
Ett av Sveriges klimat- och energipolitiska mål avser effektivare energianvändning. Ett sätt att uppnå målet är genom kravställning på energihushållning vid renovering av byggnader. I de fall då det med hänsyn till byggnadens kultur- och arkitektoniska värde inte går att tillämpa beprövade metoder får andra alternativa metoder sökas. En sådan annan alternativ metod är en dubbelskalfasad och innebäOne of Sweden's political objective is to increase energy efficiency. One way to achieve the objective is by making demands on the use of energy after a building has been renovated. Regarding the building's cultural and architectural values there are cases where it is not possible to apply proven methods to meet the demands, and other alternative methods must be sought. Such an alternative
In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled
Uppsatsen undersöker om Högsta domstolen (HD), genom att frångå lagstiftarens intentioner avseende vad som ska utgöra normalstraffet för mord, har överskridit sina befogenheter enligt regeringsformen (RF). Med normalstraff avses det straff domstolarna utgår ifrån när det bestämmer straffvärdet. I Sverige utgår all offentlig makt från folket, vilket betecknas som folksuveränitetsprincipen. Det voThe paper examines if the Supreme Court, by not following the legislator´s intentions regarding what the normal penalty for murder should be, has exceeded its powers under the Instrument of Government. Normal penalty refers to the penalty that the courts proceed from when deciding the penal value. The public power in Sweden proceeds from the people. It would be difficult to implement that the pe
Ekologisk kompensation och habitatbanker i kommunalt planarbete När exploateringar sker eller markanvändningen av ett område förändras kan vårt naturkapital påverkas negativt.

Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo

The understanding of the link between the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector and gender has been extensively researched and is widely accepted as foundational for achieving safe and equal provision of WASH-facilities. Interventions aimed at improvements in the sector are common in low- and middle-income countries, however, there is a limited number of approaches for measuring their outcom

Tracking objects in a scene is a crucial task in accomplishing surveillance that enhances security and provides valuable information about the events happening at the site. For this task, the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be utilized to achieve fluid tracking as they provide all-around surveillance with zoom capabilities. The drawback of current tracking solutions is the lack of interoperability
Protein biosynthesis follows a hierarchical process, as genes are transcribed into mRNA, translated into a chain of amino acids, and ultimately folded into functional proteins. This implies that the protein structure is merely determined by the amino acid sequence. Yet, studies on translation efficiency indicate that codon usage, which is organism dependent, significantly impacts protein folding k
In today's digital era, where personalized experiences have become crucial to consumer interactions with brands, the balance between personalization and privacy remains a complex and evolving challenge. Despite the recognized benefits of personalization in driving consumer spending, concerns about privacy and data security persist among individuals. This study addresses the "personalizati
