1. Interpreting a Giant : Studies of Structure and Function of Tripeptidyl-peptidase II
Sammanfattning : Tripeptidyl-peptidase II (TPP II) is a subtilisin-like serine peptidase that forms a gigantic homooligomeric complex, and is involved in the degradation of peptides in the cytosol. In addition, TPP II has been implicated in specific cellular processes, such as apoptosis control and adipogenesis, but if this is dependent on its endo- or exopeptidase activity remains to be determined.

2. Giant Oil Fields - The Highway to Oil : Giant Oil Fields and their Importance for Future Oil Production
Sammanfattning : Since the 1950s, oil has been the dominant source of energy in the world. The cheap supply of oil has been the engine for economic growth in the western world. Since future oil demand is expected to increase, the question to what extent future production will be available is important. LÄS MER
3. The Formation of Giant Planets
Sammanfattning : Giant planets form embedded in a protoplanetary disc around a young star. Close to the midplane a large fraction of the available mass in solids is found in particles of cm to dm in size, which drift towards the star due to friction with the surrounding gas. LÄS MER
4. Theoretical quantum optics with giant atoms
Sammanfattning : Giant atoms have emerged as new paradigm in quantum optics during the last decade. These are quantum emitters that couple to light—or other bosonic fields—at multiple discrete points, which can be spaced wavelengths apart. LÄS MER
5. Ecotoxicological studies on giant clams (Tridacnidae) : Environmental problems and future concerns
Sammanfattning : Giant clams (Tridacnidae; Bivalvia) are described as important framework builders on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. They are phototrophic as they are associated with primary producing zooxanthellae. Populations are low due to over-exploitation and most species are now endangered in many areas. LÄS MER
