The unique properties of elastomeric materials are taken advantage of in many engineering applications. Elastomeric units are used as couplings or mountings between stiff structures. Examples of these are shock absorbers, vibration insulators, flexible joints, seals and suspensions.The development of computers and of analysis programs in this area has given engineers a new tool for the design of e
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are a large group of small genetic modules found in prokaryotes and their mobile genetic elements. Type II TAs are encoded as bicistronic (two-gene) operons that encode two proteins: a toxin and a neutralizing antitoxin. Using our tool NetFlax (standing for Network-FlaGs for toxins and antitoxins), we have performed a large-scale bioinformatic analysis of proteinaceous
Lung cancer accounts for 1.6 million cancers annually and 1.3 million deaths per year make the disease the deadliest type of cancer. Smoking is the most prominent cause. High mortality rates are partly due to late diagnosis which limits the therapy options. Improved understanding of molecular and biological mechanisms of tumor development could guide current therapy selection or pave way for novelLung cancer accounts for 1.6 million cancers annually and 1.3 million deaths per year make the disease the deadliest type of cancer.

Långdistansflyttande fåglar uppvisar ett flertal gemensamma egenskaper som ger dem goda förutsättningar att regelbundet förflytta sig över kontinentala avstånd. De har exempelvis en effektiv flygmotor som gör att de kan hålla sig flygande, och en god förmåga att både lägga på sig, och bränna fett som flygbränsle. Fåglar uppvisar i regel också goda orienterings- och navigationsegenskaper, vilket ärMany birds are predisposed to annually undertake movements over large temporal and spatial scales. They have an efficient flight machinery, demonstrate impressive capacities in storing and burning fuel, and they exhibit necessary orientation and navigational skills. Avian migrants are still limited in the amount of time and energy they can allocate towards their movements and need to balance migra
Det terrestra ekosystemet absorberar cirka en tredjedel av de antropogena utsläppen varje år, vilket är en avgörande ekosystemtjänst som minskar ökningstakten av atmosfärisk koldioxid och bidrar till att mildra klimatförändringen. Observerade koncentrationer av atmosfäriskt koldioxid uppvisar en stor årlig variabilitet som främst anses vara orsakad av det terrestra ekosystemets respons på klimatföThe terrestrial ecosystem sequesters about one-third of anthropogenic emissions each year, thereby providing a critical ecosystem service that slows the rate of increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide and helps mitigate climate change. Observed atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations exhibit a large inter-annual variability which is considered to be caused primarily by the response of the terrest
Whereas extant research on trust in interorganizational relationships tends to focus on trust convergence – i.e. members of one focal firm developing similar trust perceptions toward a partner firm – we shift focus to trust divergence – i.e. members of one focal firm developing different trust perceptions toward a partner firm. To explore trust divergence, we conduct an inductive, longitudinal stu
