Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used industrial organism which cannot consume xylose naturally. This is a problem since xylose is a major component in renewable resources, for instance lignocellulose. The Weimberg pathway is a pathway that converts xylose into α-ketoglutarate. It has been successfully integrated into S. cerevisiae, enabling it to utilize xylose. The successful strain had th

Byggbranschen har länge varit, och är fortfarande, en mansdominerad bransch. I takt med att samhället har blivit mer medvetet om vikten av jämställdhet har byggbranschens ambition om att anställa fler kvinnor ökat (Hedman-Pétursson och Berggren, 2005).

Kampen mellan dyngbaggens solkompass och vindkompassen Att kunna orientera utifrån sin omgivning är viktigt för många djur över hela djurriket, inte minst för insekter. Hos dyngbaggar, vars föda är dynga, utförs en typ av orientering för att undvika konkurrens om mat; bibehållande av en rak kurs. När en dyngbagge har hittat en färsk dynghög formar den en boll av avföringen och rullar sedan iväg mThe ability to orient requires reliable cue information, and the primary cue used in straight-line orientation by the diurnal dung beetle Kheper lamarcki is the sun. It is previously known that the orientation precision of the dung beetle decreases at high solar elevations compared to lower elevations. In this study, the reliability of the sun compass was investigated in detail by testing the orie

Given a discrete dynamical system T, one can ask what the time average of the system will be, that is, what is the average position of T^n(x) for large n? Birkhoff’s ergodic theorem, one of the most important results in ergodic theory, says that for an ergodic system on a finite measure space, the time average will in the limit as n -> infinity be equal to the space average for almost all initial
