Lysosomes are cell organelles in charge of degradation. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) causes the leakage of cathepsins and other digestive enzymes into the cytosol from lysosomal cavities. This usually causes the initiation of cell death. LMP can be triggered by many stimuli and this could potentially be used in new therapeutic approaches for removing cancer cells. However, excessive L
The subject of diophantine approximation is a classical mathematic problem, as old as it is well studied. There are many different texts describing its connection to more modern areas of study, but few which do so with the aim of exploring the connections themselves. This paper aims to serve as an introduction to diophantine approximation, and to expose some properties common between two dynamical

Previous research into variation in sex allocation strategies in birds has provided evidence for sex ratio adjustments by parents to maximize fitness, based on differences in the costs of producing males and females.

Tupí-guaraníspråken omagua [omg] och kokama [cod] utgör intressanta exempel på omfattande språkkontakt i Amazonas. Detta framgår av språkens lexikon, som till största delen består av ord från tupí-guaraníspråk, men med en hög andel ord från obesläktade språk. Det framgår också av grammatiken, som skiljer sig mycket från andra tupí-guaraníspråk. Det språk som var huvudsaklig lexifierare i kontaktsiThe Tupí–Guaraní languages Omagua [omg] and Kokama [cod] constitute interesting examples of heavy language contact in Amazonia. This is evident from their lexicon, which is mostly Tupí–Guaraní, but with a high percentage of non-Tupí–Guaraní forms, and the grammar, which is very distinct from other Tupí–Guaraní languages. The lexifying Tupí–Guaraní language in this contact situation is believed to
