  1. 1. Wetland Mitigation Banking in the United States

    Författare :Ville Pekka Tapani Inkinen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; land use; offsetting; mitigation banking; wetlands;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I study market-based biodiversity conservation policies in the context of the wetland compensatory mitigation program under the US Clean Water Act. The program requires developers to compensate for adverse impacts on wetlands by purchasing credits that specialized firms have generated in advance from wetland conservation activities. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Untangling the contribution of untranslated regions to mRNA translation in health and disease

    Författare :Johannes Ristau; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Protein homeostasis is essential for living organisms and a consequence of steps of the gene expression pathway such as transcription, mRNA translation as well as the degradation of mRNA and proteins. These major cellular events demand tight control, high maintenance, and require a large proportion of cellular resources. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Coordination of gene expression programs

    Författare :Julie Lorent; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Most cellular processes depend on the activity and interactions of proteins. The proteome, i.e. the entire set of proteins in a specific condition, is shaped by regulation of transcription, mRNA-degradation, -processing, -storage, -translation and protein degradation. LÄS MER
