In this review, we discuss recent advances in biophysical virology, presenting experimental and theoretical studies on the physical properties of viruses. We focus on the double-stranded (ds) DNA bacteriophages as model systems for all of the dsDNA viruses both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Recent studies demonstrate that the DNA packaged into a viral capsid is highly pressurized, which provides a f
I denna studie insisterar vi över en ny experimentell innovativ idé, nämligen ”live interaktion” via webbkamera. Vi ger, därmed, vår lösning till en bättre och tätare feedback med en hög grad av flexibilitet. Vi jämför våra resultat med campusutbildning.
BACKGROUND: Prolyl Endopeptidase (PEP, EC 3.4.21.26), a cytosolic endopeptidase, hydrolyses peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of proline residue in proteins with a relatively small molecular weight. It has been shown that altered PEP activity is associated with various psychological diseases such as schizophrenia, mania and depression. Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neuropsychiatric and be
Popular Abstract in Swedish I min avhandling studerar jag Folke Isakssons lyriska författarskap. Jag försöker visa hur han använder sig av platsskildringar, landskapsbilder och naturelement för att framställa ett själstillstånd. Genom att inte göra en sträng uppdelning mellan yttre och inre, mellan plats och själ, åstadkommer Isaksson en speciell poetisk effekt. De platser han skildrar i sin lyrikMy study focuses on the analysis of single poems chosen as paradigmatic of Fole Isaksson's style and poetic vision. This approach is grounded in the belief that there is a certain thematic unity to Isaksson's lyric output, a unity which stems from the poet's constant preoccupation with the relations between the speaker of a poem and external nature, i.e. the place or landscape in or before which t
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of uncured retinal diseases with the world wide incidence of about 1/3500. In spite of the huge efforts in past years, the mechanisms underlying this type of hereditary blindness has not been elucidated and nor any effective treatment available. The rd1 mouse strain carries a mutation in ?-subunit of phosphodiesterase gene which hydrolyzes the cGMP and is need
We compare magnetism in two artificial lattice structures, a quantum dot array formed in a two-dimensional electron gas and an optical lattice loaded with repulsive, contact-interacting fermionic atoms. When the tunneling between the lattice sites is strong, both lattices are non-magnetic. With reduced tunneling in the tight-binding limit, the shell-filling of the single-site quantum wells combine
This article deals with the question of heteronormativity, or more precisely, how heteronormativity pertains to the reception of the Swedish film by Lukas Moodysson, Show Me Love (Fucking Åmål).
Digital systems are integrated in our environment and have become a natural part of our every day life. As we rely more on these systems our expectations on them increases. We expect them to perform new tasks, communicate and cooperate. The complexity of these systems are increasing. The increasing complexity and the requirement for flexibility, which allows the system to adapt and evolve over tim
The reduced form of vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is well known for its function as an antioxidant and as a protective agent against scurvy. However, many recent studies indicate other functions for vitamin C in mammalian cells. Novel findings provide possible explanations for observed beneficial effects of a high intake of vitamin C on cell growth, gene transcription, host resistance to infection, up
Recognition is a concept with long standing in discourses on diplomacy, international relations, and international law. Recognition is a prerequisite for reciprocal exchanges in international relations. The principles of diplomatic recognition have, however, varied considerably throughout history, between the two poles highly inclusive and highly exclusive. Paradoxically, the European Union figure
A new method for the preparation of benzo[b]indolizidines and benzo[b]quinolizidines based on two reactions: an amine induced ring-opening of 3-bromo-2,5-dimethylthiophene-1,1-dioxide (1) with 2-allyl-pyrrolidine (2), 2-allylpiperidine (3), 2-[2-(1',3'-dithiolan)methyl]pyrrolidine (4) and 2-[2-(1'-3'-dithiolan)methyl]piperidine (5); and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, is described. Copyrig
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate if patients with acute lacunar syndromes have acute lacunar infarcts or other types of cerebral lesions on diffusion-weighted MRI. METHODS: Patients with acute lacunar syndromes underwent echo-planar diffusion MRI of the brain within 3 days after stroke onset. Localization and size of lesions with hyperintense signal were determined, compared with clinical characteristics a
A search for gravitinos produced in e(+/-)p collisions is performed using the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 64.3 pb(-1) for e(+)p collisions and 13.5 pb(-1) for e(-)p collisions. If R-parity is not conserved, the t-channel exchange of a selectron can produce a neutralino, which, in models where the gravi
Aim: To value the importance of research on avian migration for the development and current status of Spanish ornithology. Results and Conclusions: Avian migration has always been an outstanding field in ornithology. This assertion is particularly true in Spain, as we illustrate here by discussing the contribution of migration research to both the scientific and historical development of Spanish o
Five molybdenum oxide samples, subjected to conditions of oxidative ammonolysis and ammoxidation of toluene at 450 and 460°C, respectively, have been characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and specific surface area measurements. In oxidative ammonolysis, the relatively large, freshly prepared MoO3 crystals are reduced to smaller MoO2 crystals with a c
