In the in vitro motility assay, actin filaments are propelled by surface-adsorbed myosin motors, or rather, myosin motor fragments such as heavy meromyosin (HMM). Recently, efforts have been made to develop actomyosin powered nanodevices on the basis of this assay but such developments are hampered by limited understanding of the HMM adsorption geometry. Therefore, we here investigate the HMM adso

A comparison has been carried out between standard-dose computed tomography, non-diagnostic computed tomography and digital radiography with respect to their suitability for detecting radioactive fragments associated with nuclear or radiological events such as debris from radiological dispersal devices. The purpose was to investigate if radiographic imaging is justified for the detection and local

We have engineered apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), a major protein constituent of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), to contain DOTA-chelated Gd(III) as an MRI contrast agent for the purpose of imaging reconstituted HDL (rHDL) biodistribution, metabolism and regulation in vivo. This protein contrast agent was obtained by attaching the thiol-reactive Gd[MTS-ADO3A] label at Cys residues replaced at four d

This study is about Wikipedia which defines itself as a free online encyclopaedia. Our chief interest lies in the debate and the controversy which has arisen around Wikipedia. After reading critical articles concerning Wikipedia we found that the debate for most parts had one identifiable theme namely the question whether Wikipedia is an encyclo-paedia or not. Encyclopaedia as a term and a phenom

Today, "the digital library" is the common way of describing a managed collection of information, with associated services, stored in digital formats and accessible over a network. Digital libraries have mainly been developed at research libraries, but during the last few years public libraries have started to offer similar services. The aim of this Master's thesis is to study how t

Title: Multi-Sided Platforms: Understanding their strengths and weaknesses Seminar date: 2014-05-22 Course: FEKN90 Företagsekonomi: Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet (30 ECTS) Authors: Lucas Ehrenstråhle and Elin Mathies Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Five keywords: MSP, activities, resources, differentiation and platforms The purpose: is to investigate why small actors use multi-sided pl

This study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the

Communication today is not something merely taking place face to face, technology such as the internet and social media channels have opened up for endless interactions taking place in the online world. User generated content in the form of online travel reviews come with many challenges and opportunities for organizations. User generated content has been shown to impact a travelers decision in al

Endowed with diverse vegetation covers, the Middle Atlas Mountains receive substantial snowfall in winter, which contributes to plant hydration during the growing season. Using remotely-sensed imagery, this study aims to assess the trends in snow cover variations between 2000 and 2015, analyse the local influence of snowpack persistence on vegetation growth and evaluate the significance of this ef

År 2006 var året då fler människor bodde i städer än på landsbygden och år 2030 uppskattas 5 miljarder människor bo i en urban miljö. Att lösa boendesituationen för de som flyttar till städer är ett globalt problem som kommer bli viktigare än någonsin tidigare att lösa. (Montgomery, 2014) Bostadsbyggandet i Sverige har de senaste åren ökat, men befolkningen ökar i ännu högre takt vilket gör att bo2006 was the year when more people lived in cities than in rural areas and by 2030 approximately 5 billion people will be living in an urban environment. Solving the housing situation of those who move to cities is a global problem that will become more important than ever to solve. (Montgomery, 2014) Housing construction in Sweden has increased in recent years, but the population is increasing at

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of recent Turkish immigrants with the city of Berlin through the lens of media and communication, and to identify the identity dynamics in this relationship. The relationship with, and links of immigrants to their countries of origin is a common subject in diaspora studies, human geography, and media and communication studies. However, more rese

Due to climate change more frequent and vigorous weather events are expected. This can be extreme precipitation that can lead to flooding, heat waves and drought. When urban areas are densified the imperviousness of the land surface will grow due to the increase of hard surfaces. This makes the areas more vulnerable to flooding and the hard surface will trap heat in the city which can result in hi

Seagrass systems are integral components of both local and global carbon cycles and contribute to substantial modifications of seawater biogeochemistry which has ecological ramifications. However, the influence of the roots and rhizomes of seagrasses on surrounding porewater biogeochemistry is not fully understood, and it remains to be determined what exact role this marine plant and the associate

I uppsatsen du har framför dig undersöker jag målsägandens ansvar i förhål-lande till en tilltalads uppsåt eller oaktsamhet avseende målsägandens ofrivil-liga deltagande i en sexuell handling. Vi befinner oss alltså i de två första pa-ragraferna av brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, 6:1 och 6:1 a BrB. Min undersök-ning kretsar dock inte framförallt kring gällande rätt utan kring hovrätternas tillämpninThis essay investigates whether the law or its practice can be said to impose on the plaintiff a responsibility in relation to the defendant’s intent or negli-gence regarding the plaintiff’s involuntary partaking in a sexual act with the defendant. We are hence located in the first two paragraphs of the sixth chap-ter in the Swedish criminal code, 6:1 and 6:1 a Brottsbalk (1962:700). My essay does

Animals monitor environmental ques by translating them into electrical signals through a depolarization of the electric potential over the cell membrane of nerve cells. A way to initiate the depolarization is through activation of receptors that are ion channels. These channels can facilitate the diffusion ions across membranes driven by the differences in concentration and electrical charge on ea

In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. This study examines whether or not it would be profitable to integrate an additional intermittent power source to the wind power plant’s existin
