- The ability to store energy is an important life history trait for organisms facing long periods without energy income, and in particular for capital breeders such as temperate zone amphibians, which rely on stored energy during reproduction. However, large scale comparative studies of energy stores in populations with different environmental constraints on energy allocation are scarce. We investigated energy storage patterns in spring (after hibernation and before reproduction) in eight common frog (Rana temporaria) populations exposed to different environmental conditions along a 1600 km latitudinal gradient across Scandinavia (range of annual activity period 3-7 months). Analyses of lean body weight (eviscerated body mass), weight of fat bodies, liver weight, and liver fat content, showed that (i) post-hibernation/pre-breeding energy stores increased with increasing latitude in both sexes, (ii) males generally had larger energy reserves than females and (iii) the difference in energy stores between sexes decreased towards the north. Larger energy reserves towards the north can serve as a buffer against less predictable and/or less benign weather conditions during the short activity period, and may also represent a risk-averse tactic connected with a more pronounced iteroparous life history. In females, the continuous and overlapping vitellogenic activity in the north may also demand more reserves in early spring. The general sexual difference could be a consequence of the fact that, at the time of our sampling, females had already invested their energy into reproduction in the given year (i.e. their eggs were already ovulated), while the males' main reproductive activities (e.g. calling, mate searching, sexual competition) occurred later in the season.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Drugs prepared from organic and mineral substances have, throughout history, held a central position when it comes to preventing and curing disease. In Galenic medicine, foodstuffs, drugs and deadly substances, or poisons, were all accredited with the potential to affect the constitution of the body. While the Galenic paradigm continued to dominate formal medicine in the Middle Ages, the language used for scientific communication changed from Greek and Syriac to Arabic. This means that our knowledge of most aspects of medieval highly qualified medicine depends on the study of Arabic sources. The preserved Arabic material on pharmacology is extensive, and it is clear that physicians in the Arabo-Islamic cultural sphere have contributed to the knowledge of both single substances and compound preparations.

- Given electronic wave functions generated by the grasp2K relativistic atomic structure package, this program calculates diagonal magnetic dipole A(J) and electric quadrupole B-J hyperfine interaction constants and Lande g(J) factors. In addition the program computes diagonal and off-diagonal reduced hyperfine and Zeeman matrix elements and constructs the total interaction matrix for an atom in an external magnetic field. By diagonalizing the interaction matrix and plotting eigenvalues as functions of the magnetic field, Zeeman splittings of hyperfine levels are obtained. The method is applicable in the weak and intermediate field regions and yields results that are useful when analyzing spectra from e.g. EBIT sources and magnetic stars. The program can also be used in the field free limit to calculate mixing coefficients that determine rates of hyperfine induced transitions. For atoms with zero nuclear spin I the program computes splittings of the fine-structure levels.

Solution method: The electronic wave function for a state labeled Gamma JM is expanded in terms of jj-coupled configuration state functions vertical bar Gamma JM > = Sigma(gamma)c(gamma)vertical bar gamma JM >. In this representation the reduced matrix elements used to construct the interaction matrix can be computed as sums over one-particle radial integrals. By diagonalizing the interaction matrix and plotting eigenvalue as functions of the magnetic field, Zeeman splittings of fine- and hyperfine structure levels are obtained. Restrictions: The complexity of the cases that can be handled is entirely determined by the grasp2K package [P. Jonsson, H. Xe, C. Froese Fischer, I.P. Grant, Comput. Phys. Commun. 177 (2007) 597] used for the generation of the electronic wave functions. Running time: CPU time required to execute test cases: a few seconds.

- We report relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock calculations of transitions between the hyperfine levels of 4s4f 3F2,3 and 4s4d 3D2 in Ga II. The capacity of two newly developed programs connected to the graspVU package for generating synthetic spectra is explored. The obtained theoretical spectra are compared to Fourier transform spectra and good agreement is found. The importance of hyperfine induced interference effects for the 4s4d 3D2–4s4f 3F2 transitions is pointed out, and the gf values for all the hyperfine transitions are given.
