Popular Abstract in Swedish Min avhandling är en s.k. sammanläggningsavhandling och innehåller fyra delarbeten (I-IV), vilka alla är publicerade i vetenskapliga tidskrifter. I delarbetena redovisas undersökningar av två enzymer, hormonkänsligt lipas (HKL) och proteinkinas B (PKB). HKL är ett sedan länge välkänt enzym, vars huvudsakliga uppgift är att spjälka fett (triglycerider) som lagras i fettcHormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and protein kinase B (PKB) are enzymes that in different ways are associated with lipid metabolism. While HSL is the well-known lipolytic enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of stored triacylglycerols in adipose tissue, PKB is a recently identified serine/threonine protein kinase, ubiquitously expressed and involved in signal transduction pathways induced by insulin an

The amount of electrical loads and the complexity of the electric system in a vehicle is increasing at the same time as the allowed development time is decreasing. Possibilities to predict the electromagnetic behaviour is therefore of great importance. This paper addresses the problems of low frequency electromagnetic crosstalk between cables in a harness. Analytical expressions for estimation of

This paper suggests that the Payne models should not properly be regarded as the traffic flow analog of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics. Further, the Chapman-Enskog asymptotic expansion in a small parameter is shown to lead to an alternate class of models that seem to have a more legitimate claim to that distinction. Details of this expansion, about the stable-flow equilibria of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Neuoroblastom är en av de tumörformer som oftast drabbar små barn. Eftersom tumörer lyckligtvis är relativt ovanliga hos barn drabbas inte fler än i genomsnitt 14 barn årligen av neuroblastom i Sverige. Tyvärr finns dock, trots den effektiva behandling som kunnat arbetas fram för många andra barncancerformer, idag ingen verksam behandling att tillgå för så många som hälNeuroblastoma is a tumor of sympathetic nervous system derivation, mostly afflicting young children. This thesis is focused on a group of receptor proteins for neurotrophic factors, the Trk family, and on N-Myc, a transcription factor, all important in the formation of the sympathetic nervous system as well as in determining neuroblastoma patient outcome. Expression of trkA and trkC is linked to f

Solar steam turbines are subject to high thermal stresses as a result of temperature gradients during transient operation, which occurs more frequently due to the variability of the solar resource. In order to increase the flexibility of the turbines while preserving lifing requirements, several operational modifications for maintaining turbine temperatures during offline periods are proposed and

AJIL Symposium contribution

Reality TV is popular entertainment. And yet a common way to start a conversation about it is ‘I wouldn’t want anyone to know this but…’ Why do people love and love to hate reality TV? This book explores reality TV in all its forms - from competitive talent shows to reality soaps - examining a range of programmes from the mundane to those that revel in a spectacle of excess. Annette Hill’s resear

The paper will discuss the design of a new organization of library services at Lund University, Sweden with special emphasis on the motives and drivers behind the reorganization. The university management has decided the reorganization after an evaluation report with recommendations. The new structure of the library services is designed as a network of libraries with a coordination and management
