This thesis reports a study involving the use of Halomonas boliviensis, a moderate halophile, for production of biopolyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and compatible solutes ectoine and hydroxyectoine through high cell-density cultivation comprising fed-batch cultures. PHB is a biodegradable plastic produced by bacteria as energy reserve and can potentially be used as a replacement of fossil b

The nature of innovation is changing. An increasingly globalized society, enabled by information and communication technologies (ICT), has changed the process of value creation and shifted the balance of power between firms and individual consumers – or users. Companies can no longer rely solely on operational efficiency or technological superiority in order to create a competitive advantage. Tod

Today's hardware DSP designs, with a composition of hardware in datapath/controller pairs, are becoming increasingly complex to design. It will be argued that hardware DSP architectures can be significantly simplified by distributing the control to the individual pipeline stages and by switching to an event based design methodology. This paper will describe a design methodology for event based DSP

Denna översiktsartikel över religionens och kyrkans historiska utveckling i Sverige sträcker sig från kristnandet till nutiden.

Popular Abstract in Swedish En stor del, kanske den största delen, av den information som vi dagligen får om världen tillhandahålls genom ett av våra fem sinnen: synen, med vilken ögat registrerar det ljus som vi omges av. Det ljus som vi kan registrera och uppfatta som färger är egentligen bara en bråkdel av den elektromagnetiska strålning som universum är uppfyllt av: Det finns även röntgenstrålThis thesis intends to provide spectroscopic information which may be of use in the investigation of low-density plasmas. Developed since the 19th century, the spectroscopic approach has proven to be a versatile method for measuring properties in hot gases, such as electron and ion temperatures and densities, the abundance of various elements in the gas, etc. However, such investigations rely on k

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1990-talet ändrades miljöarbete i företag dramatiskt. Från att ha varit huvudsakligen fokuserad på lagstiftningens krav och tekniska lösningar för utsläpp och avfall, tog miljöarbete (d.v.s., "corporate environmental management", eller CEM) till sig nya strategiska och organisatoriska dimensioner runt om i världen. "Det gröna företaget" blev ett begrepp för denna Adopting a phenomenological, sensemaking-based approach, this dissertation reviews and critiques a variety of theories proposed as explanations of corporate “greening” and the evolution of corporate environmental management (CEM), and then presents and analyzes an organization study to explore in greater depth how sensemaking can be used for research in this context. As its object, the ethnograph

Gel filtration of blood serum was carried out with Sephadex G-200 gel and tris buffer at pH 7.8. The amount of protein in each of about 100 collected fractions was monitored using UV absorption. The fractions were concentrated and deposited onto Kimfol backing foils. From the PIXE results distributions of S, Fe, Cu and Zn were obtained in relation to the protein peaks, while elements like K, Ca an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje dag bildas ca en biljon nya blodceller i en vuxen person. Eftersom blodceller är relativt kortlivade sker denna nyproduktion ständigt. Alla dessa celler härstammar från en sorts cell, multipotenta blodstamceller. Genom en gradvis mognadsprocess, genereras röda blodkroppar (erytrocyter), vita blodkroppar (granulocyter, lymfocyter och monocyter) och blodplättar (troProliferation, differentiation, and survival of hematopoietic stem cells and multipotent progenitor cells are regulated by cytokines and cell-cell interactions. Kit ligand (KL) and Flt3 ligand (FL) have pleiotropic effects, promotes survival, but are nonredundant. Using myeloid progenitor cell lines and mouse bone marrow-derived Lin- progenitors, we demonstrate that inhibition of phophatidylinosit

The two nature reserves Benestads backar and Hagestad in Scania, southernmost Sweden, were surveyed for insect diversity during 2011 and 2012. Because current management plans for both reserves include a size expansion to increase the protective status also of adjacent areas, the aim of this survey was to derive a measure of current insect diversity in both reserves. These estimates can then be us

This contribution deals with the topic of transnationalism as it has developed in the humanities in the last two decades. The starting point for the reflections is the author's experiences over the course of two research projects in the years 1996 to 2003. "Musik baut Brücken?" seeks to highlight some of the definitions and difficulties of "transnationalism" which have become obvious in several de
