  2. 1. Atomic Scale Modelling in Photoelectrocatalysis : Towards the Development of Efficient Materials for Solar Fuel Production

    Author : Giane B. Damas; Carlos Moyses Araujo; Rajeev Ahuja; Clas Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photocatalytic hydrogen production; polymeric materials; donor-acceptor architecture; small molecules; density functional theory; hydrogen binding free energies; exciton binding energies; electrocatalysis; carbon dioxide conversion; formic acid production; Sn-based electrodes; Tin oxides; Ru-complexes; Metal Organic Frameworks; carbon dioxide capture.;

    Abstract : Using sunlight to produce valuable chemicals has been pointed out as an interesting alternative to deal with the well-known environmental problem related to the use of fossil fuels for energy generation. Thus, it is crucial for this field the development of novel photocatalysts that could drive the uphill reactions with high efficiency while presenting low price and toxicity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Group B streptococci and other neonatal infections

    Author : Elisabet Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Neonatal infections; sepsis; incidence; ; Group B streptococcus; ; serotype; ; epidemiology; ; genotype; ; surface protein; ; antibiotic susceptibility;

    Abstract : The main objectives of this thesis were to estimate the incidence and etiology of invasive infections in neonates and to characterize invasive strains of group B streptococci from a defined geographic area. All infants aged 0-120 days with a bacterial or fungal isolate from blood or CSF in the defined area were identified. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of dietary fibre on the human metabolism and metabolome

    Author : Anna Johansson Persson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; arabinoxylan; b-glucan; dietary fibre; inflammation; LC-MS; metabolomics; oat; pectin; postprandial response; randomised controlled trial; rye; sugar beet fibre;

    Abstract : It is well-known that dietary fibre can have a positive effect on the development of lifestyle-dependent diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, the effect may be different for different kinds of fibre and different sub-populations at risk. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regulation and functions of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in neuroblastoma cells

    Author : Paula Persson; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; Id; Olf EBF; ubiquilin-1; HASH-1; bHLH; Neuroblastoma; neuronal differentiation; cancer; onkologi; cancerology; Cytologi;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor derived from primordial neural crest cells. The tumor cells exhibit a phenotype similar to that of developing neuroblasts, which indicates that the tumor arises due to perturbed differentiation of the sympathetic nervous system. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pharmacological interactions between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, bradykinin and nitric oxide

    Author : Karin Persson; Karl-Erik Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : angiotensin-converting enzyme; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; atherosclerosis; bradykinin; endothelium; in vitro; nitric oxide; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of death in Western countries. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is as a key enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system involved in the regulation of blood pressure, and water and electrolyte balance in the body. READ MORE
