11. Antibiotic sensitivity and horizontal gene transfer in Escherichia coli - A genome-wide perspective
Sammanfattning : Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have truly revolutionized human medicine. They have allowed us to treat diseases that were previously untreatable and have become a staple of modern medicine. However, along with the human use of antibiotics pathogens resistant to antibiotics emerged. LÄS MER
12. Morgondagens experter : Tekniken, ungdomen och framsteget i populärvetenskap och science fiction i Sverige under det långa 1950-talet
Sammanfattning : This study analyzes different views of science, technology and progress in popular science and science fiction published in Sweden during the 'long 1950s' (ca 1946-1964) and how they were related to youth. In the first part, popular technical periodicals are discussed - Teknikes Värld (Technical World) and Teknik för Alla (Technolvgy for Everyone). LÄS MER
13. Presenting Information in Manual Assembly
Sammanfattning : Ever since industrialization, manufacturing companies have competed with each other in trying to make the best and the cheapest product and the automotive industry is definitely no exception. The ‘arms race’ between truck and car manufacturers has pushed manufacturing technology and production practice to where it is today. LÄS MER
14. Timing Matters : Wounding and entomopathogenic nematode infection kinetics
Sammanfattning : Over time, insects have developed complex strategies to defend themselves against presenting threats. However, in the evolutionary arms race of survival, pathogens have adapted to quickly overcome the immune response mounted by the host. LÄS MER
15. Response to wheat dwarf virus in wild and domesticated wheat : genetic resources of evolutionary and environmental origins
Sammanfattning : Wild and domesticated plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens, which may trigger an arms race in evolution of defense strategies in the plant and development of virulence in the pathogen. The outcome of the interaction depends on the intensity of reciprocal selection between the interacting species, which may vary over space and time, explained as the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution.
