ECONOMIC COMPARISON BETWEEN PASTURE-BASED BEEF PRODUCTION AND AFFORESTATION OF ABANDONED LAND IN SWEDISH FOREST DISTRICTS

Economic Comparison between Pasture-Based Beef Production and Afforestation of Abandoned Land in Swedish Forest Districts

Large areas of agricultural land have been abandoned or are at risk of being abandoned such as small scattered fields and pastures in forest-dominated landscapes are unsuitable for modern mechanized agriculture and cost-efficient grazing.These areas have therefore become unprofitable to cultivate and graze.Spruce planting has been seen as the obvio

Plectin in Skin Fragility Disorders

Plectin is a multi-faceted, 500 kDa-large protein, which due to its expression in different isoforms and distinct organs acts diversely as a cytoskeletal crosslinker and signaling scaffold.It functions as a mediator of keratinocyte mechanical caravan scissor jack stability in the skin, primarily through linking intermediate filaments to hemidesmoso

Two discrete events, human T-cell leukemia virus type I Tax oncoprotein expression and a separate stress stimulus, are required for induction of apoptosis in T-cells

Abstract Background It is poorly understood why many transforming proteins reportedly enhance both cell growth (transformation) and cell death (apoptosis).At first glance, the ability to transform and the ability to engender apoptosis seem to be contradictory.Interestingly, both abilities have been widely reported in the literature for caravan scis
