The 83 million year old family tree of burnet moths To classify the living world around them, early on humans started naming plants and animals in order to distinguish food from non-food, predator from prey, etc. In 1800s a practice of a more formal way of classifying the living world was started, in which using Latin names made the classification universal. The unique appearances were used to di

Controlling growth of a cell How incredible would it be to control growth of cells? One of the most basic mechanisms in life. This knowledge would be especially useful for treating threatening cells such as cancer cells or pathogenic bacteria. It would be lifesaving to understand and determine their growth. Here the focus is on growth of bacteria, particularly those belonging to the genus Strepto

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastes and residues is a widely applied and explored process. However, when the process is not optimized, inadequate concentrations of nutrients and inhibitory compounds are common and can lead to low maximum organic loading rates and increased risk of process problems, low organic dry solids degradation rate and reduced methane yields. To overcome process instability a

The amazing Thermophile Rhodothermus marinus Thermophiles are microorganisms i.e. bacteria and archea that thrive between the temperature 41ºC to 122ºC. As they can grow at extremely high temperatures, they are also known as extremophiles. Mostly, they are found on geothermally heated places like hot springs or deep sea hydrothermal vents. Rhodothermus marinus is a thermophilic bacterium, inte

Does urbanisation make great tits clever? The expanding urban areas are changing the environment that the wildlife lives in. Most bird species avoid cities while some animals seem to prosper there. On the other hand, there are some species that live both in urban and rural areas without a preference for one. Such species are really interesting to study, because they can directly show the impact t

Popular science summary: Having problems with statistics? Try Bayesian! While many of us are afraid of the abstruse concepts and annoyed by a lot of limitations in classical statistics, Bayesian methods provides user-friendly way to do statistics. They are intuitive, explicit and have a wide range of applications. In conservation planning, different sources of evidence need to be integrated to

Strålbehandling är en viktig behandling av cancer och det är avgörande att ge de föreskrivna stråldoserna exakt på rätt plats för att lyckas. Innan en patient behandlas verifieras strålbehandlingen genom kontrollmätningar. Dessa kontrollmätningar utförs med små detektorer som är placerade i ett fantom. Dessa mäter dosen endast i de punkter där de placeras. Stråldosen som ligger mellan dessa punkteBackground & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to

Background: One of the polymer gel dosimeters available today is the N-isopropylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel dosimeter which has a less toxic monomer compared to other polymer gels and the advantage of being able to be manufactured under normal oxygen levels. Polymer gel dosimeters in general are advantageous independent dosimeters to use for verification of new radiation treatment techniques due to

Hunting a Gene That Makes Plants Green Photosynthesis is the process plants use to obtain energy from sunlight. In doing so, they produce oxygen and sugars, which supports life on earth as we know it. To harvest sunlight, plants use pigments know as chlorophylls, which also give plants their distinctive green color. Chlorophyll is a cyclic tetrapyrrole which is similar in structure to heme, the c

Vid en diskussion om nivån på den svenska bolagsskatten är det av stor vikt att avgöra huruvida diskussionen rör den nominella eller den effektiva skattesatsen. Den nominella skattesatsen uppgår till 28 procent och återfinns i 65 kap. 14 § IL. Den effektiva skattesatsen är däremot inte given utan kan i viss utsträckning påverkas, eftersom den bestäms genom att dividera skatt på årets resultat med

Popular science summary: Climate change, and its effect on nature, is presently a hot research topic. Many studies have focused on the effect of recent climate change on breeding and spring migration in birds. Several bird populations have been shown to advance migration or breeding. It has been suggested that if they do not do this they might miss optimal breeding conditions such as peak food av

Targeting TB: Scope of Anti-Mycobacterial Compounds Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be one of the leading cause of death until today. The disease has persisted since antiquity and remains a concern despite the advancement in its treatment. The main problem arises from antibiotic resistance developed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the complex nature of the bacteria which has developed mechanisms

Beyond the main nucleus: the secret lives of micronuclei Imagine your cells diligently copying their precious genetic blueprint every time they divide. This astonishing process, however, is not foolproof. When errors inevitably creep in, especially under stress like radiation or certain drugs, our cells face a terrifying choice: halt operations and attempt repairs or press on, risking chaos. This
