The class I genes of the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) are here investigated for the first time in a passerine bird. The great reed warbler is a rare species in Sweden with a few semi-isolated populations. Yet, we found extensive Mhc class I variation in the study population. The variable exon 3, corresponding to the alpha(2) domain, was amplified from genomic DNA with degenerated primers
The purpose of Galactic archaeology is determining the history of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. To do this one uses observational data from stellar populations in terms of properties such as kinematics, chemistry, ages, and evolution. In this context a population means stars with similar characteristics and the most notable population is “the Solar Neighbourhood” (SN). Stars orbit with a ‘guiding rad
Objective. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a progressive, debilitating disease with complex symptoms, unclear etiology and pathogenesis, and difficult diagnosis. Current imaging methods are useful in diagnosing AS and other spondyloarthropathies, and are frequently used in investigations of sacroiliitis. The radiographic diagnosis of sacroiliitis has large interobserver variations. Computed tomogra
The old beech forest (250–300 yr) at Bjurkärr (core area 30 ha) in the province of Småland, S Sweden, was surveyed for epiphytic lichens of conservation concern in 1993–94. Several rare red-listed lichens were recorded, many with large populations. In 2011 the most endangered lichens were resurveyed due to the incorporation of Bjurkärr in the forthcoming national park of Lake Åsnen. Most species o
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fältflödesfraktionering-ett verktyg för att optimera genteknisk produktion av proteiner Läkemedel av proteintyp kan i framtiden tillverkas mer kostnadseffektivt. Utbytet av protein maximeras genom att den proteinproducerande bakteriens ribosomer separeras och räknas. Proteiner i vår vardag Protein kan vara mer än den blodiga biffen eller torskfilén på lunchtallriken. PIn this thesis asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (FFF) separations of ribosomes and subunits have been studied. Ribosomal material was prepared from Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells and analyzed by the size separation technique. The five main peaks in the fractograms correspond to transfer RNA (tRNA), unidentified proteins, small subunit, large subunit, and ribosome. The accuracy of the
Based on constructal theory, five different cases with multistage bifurcations are designed as well as one case without bifurcations, and the corresponding laminar fluid flow and thermal performance have been investigated numerically. All laminar fluid flow and heat transfer results are obtained using computation fluid dynamics, and a uniform wall heat flux thermal boundary condition is applied al
Objective: The use of a conduit is an established surgical method for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in congenital heart disease; however, its limited durability makes reintervention almost inevitable. We studied the trends in new implantation, reoperation, and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) from a Swedish national perspective. Design and results: The Swedi
Popular Abstract in English In our current world, the exponential growth in demand for smaller and faster devices leads to the fact that we will eventually face the problem that traditional semiconductor technologies will reach their limitation in terms of size and speed. Humanity's consciousness to tackle the global ecological issues in the next decade, will demand the substitution of all non-reuThe work presented in this thesis addresses the investigation of the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of late transition metal complexes supported on various surfaces. The research is aimed at studying the interaction between the molecules and the support, together with the intermolecular interaction. This knowledge is essential e.g. for the development of organic molecule-based dev
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore how integral and modular product architectures influence the design properties of the global operations network. Design/methodology/approach: The authors perform a multiple-case study of three global manufacturing companies, using interviews, seminars and structured questionnaires to identify ideal design properties. Findings: The authors find that
