Calreticulin (CRT) is a eukaryotic, highly conserved, Ca2+-binding protein predominantly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. In addition to being involved in the regulation of cellular Ca2+, calreticulin is a key quality control element during protein folding in the ER lumen. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) suspension cells overexpressing a maize CRT (CRT1a) were used here to examine t

Popular Abstract in Undetermined Denne afhandling præsenterer en ny udlæsnings metode udviklet til cantileverbaserede sensorer. Cantilevere er tynde vipper, der er fastgjorte i den ene ende, og som igennem de seneste ti °ar har vist sig at være en interessant ny type bio/kemisk sensor. Den specifikke genkendelse af et kemikalie viser sig ved at cantileveren bøjer som følge af det skabte overfladesThis thesis presents a novel read-out method developed for cantilever-based sensors. Cantilevers are thin beams clamped at one end and during the last 10 years they have emerged as an interesting new type of bio/chemical sensor. The specific recognition of a chemical manifests itself as a bending of the cantilever from the generated surface stress. Conventionally the read-out used for this type of

Att jordbruksmark bebyggs har under senare tid blivit en alltmer aktuell fråga och har skapat debatt kring skyddet av jordbruksmark. Lagstiftningen om detta skydd återfinns i 3 kap. 4 § miljöbalken (1998:808) där det anges att jordbruk är av nationell betydelse. Vidare gäller enligt paragrafen att brukningsvärd jordbruksmark får bebyggas för väsentliga samhällsintressen endast om inte annan mark, The fact that agricultural land is being exploited has become a more present question and has created a debate regarding the protection of agricultural land. The legislation of this protection is found in Chapter 3 Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code (1998:808) which states that agriculture is a national interest. Furthermore, it states that land suitable for cultivation may be exploited f

The general rule in EC law is that a holder of an intellectual property right is not obliged to license the use of that right to others. However, situations exist where intellectual property rights suffer some limitations because of the prevalence of other conflicting interests. A dominant firm can, as the holder of an intellectual property right, be forced to grant a license to one or more undert
Background: Secure base scripts (SBS) comprise implicit procedural expectations about the availability of significant others, and are formed early in life based on experiences with caregivers. SBS are conventionally captured via word-prompted, impersonal narratives, but as this assessment paradigm is relatively new, little is known about how it may be affected by situational mental health problems

Utvecklingen av autonoma fartyg (‘MASS’) innebär betydande utmaningar för det befintliga systemet för sjörättsligt ansvar. Culpabaserat ansvar och begreppet vårdslöshet är traditionellt uppbyggda kring bedömningen av mänskligt handlande, beslutsfattande och kontroll. Detta väcker frågor om huruvida vårdslöshet och culpa fortfarande är begreppsmässigt sammanhängande när operativa beslut fattas av aThe development of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (‘MASS’) presents significant challenges to the existing framework of maritime liability law. Fault-based liability and the concept of negligence are traditionally structured around the assessment of human conduct, decision-making and control. This raises the question of whether negligence and fault remain conceptually coherent where operational
