We present experimental results and simulations on a simple method for tunable particle separation based on a combination of Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) and Insulator Based Dielectrophoresis (I-DEP). Rather than deriving its tunability from its elastic properties[1], our present device uses an applied AC field to perturb the particle trajectories in the pressure-driven flow and is the

The local alignment of DNA stretched in nanofluidic channels is measured using polarization sensitive detection. With increased degree of stretching the polarization anisotropy increases both in the deGennes and the Odijk regime. The technique is expected to find use in studies of, for example, local conformational changes in polymer physics in confined spaces, studies of protein-DNA interactions

The highly variable complementary determining region 3 (CDR3) of antibodies is generated through recombination of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV), diversity, and joining genes. The codons encoding the first residues of CDR3 may be derived directly from the IGHV germline gene but they may also be generated as part of the rearrangement process. Data of the nucleotide composition of these

The prophage-encoded staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is recognized as the main cause of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP), a common foodborne intoxication disease, caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Studies on the production of SEA suggest that activation of the SOS response and subsequent prophage induction affect the regulation of the sea gene and the SEA produced, increasing the risk for SFP

Climate change has great effect on water resources in the source region of the Yellow River, which affects agricultural productivity, industrial water supply and wildlife management in the whole river basin. The hydrologic characteristics of precipitation, temperature and runoff in the source region of the Yellow River are analyzed using the long-term observed data from 1961 to 2010. The trend of

Peder Winstrup – Historier kring en 1600-talsmumie är en populärvetenskaplig bok om en biskop i Lund med många strängar på sin lyra; professor i fysik, kunglig hovpredikant, fornforskare, arkitekt, författare, teolog, boktryckare, initiativtagare till Lunds universitet och turistguide – en sann renässansmänniska! Här beskrivs uppväxt och utbildning, hans residens och rättstvister. Läsaren får ta d

Under 2012–2014 organiserade VIWAFU, ett nätverk för internationellt och interdisciplinärt forskarsamarbete i Norden och Baltikum, fyra seminarier för master-studenter, doktorander och post-docs. Var och ett av seminarierna hade ett tema, t.ex. VA-branschens reglering och styrning, infrastruktur för dricksvatten, innovativ utveckling inom kommunala vattenfrågor samt vattenhantering i turistområdenViable Water Management and Governance for Futures (VIWAFU), a professional network for international and interdisciplinary collaboration amongst researchers from the Nordic and Baltic countries, was built for providing and sharing knowledge on water management and governance for future policy and decision making during the years 2012–2014. VIWAFU organized four workshops for MSc students, PhD stu

Contrary to the general trend in European countries since the 2000s, Sweden has neither restricted its migration policy nor limited the rights of migrants. This changed with the ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 when the government introduced policy changes to curb the number of arrivals and impede the granting of residence permits. Civil society organizations are significantly involved in the reception of

The Lewis (Le) blood group antigens are a set of fucosylated glycan structures. They are present as N- and O-linked structures on glycoproteins and as glycolipid-based structures on cell surfaces. Depending on the exact structure, the Lewis group is divided into four subgroups; Lea, Leb, Lex and Ley. Lex and Lea can further be sialylated and/or sulfonated. Among these, Lex has been found to be imp
