Several yeast species, usually engineered by humans in order to produce compounds of biotechnological interests, are currently used as cellular factories. This thesis presents two main themes. In the first, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used for bio-ethanol production from lignocellulose hydrolysates and in the second Pichia pastoris is used for the heterologous expression of human ameloblastin. Th
This paper argues that the poor conceptualization of the "firm" in economic geography detracts from the analytical strengths and policy relevance of the discipline. Identified as a phenotype, the firm remains ambiguous as an analytical category. This paper reviews nine overlapping conceptualizations of the firm in order to identify their relevance to the economic geography project. It discusses th
Popular Abstract in English Look around and notice how many items have been manufactured or transported using petroleum-based products. In modern life, it is almost an impossible task to exclude them from our daily routine. They are present in plastics, cosmetics, cleaning products, medicaments, food, etc. To diminish our dependence on the demanded black liquid, a lot of research efforts have beenDepletion of easily accessible fossil energy resources, threat of climate change and political priority to achieve energy self-sufficiency and sustainable solutions prioritize a conscious and smart use of renewable resources to generate a bio-based economy. Bio-based compounds can replace chemicals and fuels that are now mainly produced from crude oil. Efficient processes for the conversion of pla
Motstånd är ett vanligt problem vid förändringsarbete. I detta konferenspapper tolkas motstånd som en begäran om inflytande i ledningens beslutsfattande med avseende på förändringen. Här väljer ledningen en strategi – mer eller mindre medarbetarinflytande. I offentlig verksamhet måste denna ledningsstrategi kunna legitimeras mot principaler och samhälle. Det är därför särskilt viktigt att förstå h
Throughout history, scientific advancement hasbeen dependent upon advances in the technologies ofresearch. However, branches of research that today relyon Research Infrastructures (RIs) such as acceleratorsrequire technological investments so large that multinationcollaborations are required to fund them. Modernaccelerator science also has massive (and increasing)energy needs, yet the very provisi
