  2. 1. Soluble amyloid-β aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease

    Author : Hillevi Englund; Frida Ekholm Pettersson; Lars NG Nilsson; Lars Lannfelt; Dominic M Walsh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Geriatrics and medical gerontology; Geriatrik och medicinsk gerontologi; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Abstract : Soluble oligomeric aggregates of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide are suggested to initiate Alzheimer's disease (AD), leading to impaired synapse signalling, widespread neuronal death and loss of cognitive functions. These aggregates seem tightly linked to disease progression, and have therefore gained much attention as potential novel disease markers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Targeting Early Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease in a Transgenic Model

    Author : Anna Lord; Lars Nilsson; Lars Lannfelt; Frida Ekholm Pettersson; Thomas Bayer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Abstract : The Arctic mutation causes early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and makes amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides more prone to form Aβ protofibrils. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the mechanisms of the Arctic mutation in vivo, and to use transgenic models to determine the role of early intermediates of Aβ aggregation, like protofibrils, in the pathogenesis.

  5. 3. Efficient Methods to Calculate Mutual Coupling between Generic Antennas on Large Platforms

    Author : Johan Malmström; B. Lars G. Jonsson; Lars Pettersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis presents research on methods for calculating the mutual coupling between antennas. The mutual coupling between antennas is a measure of the amount of energy transmitted from one antenna that is received by another, and is a key parameter when installing antennas on platforms, such as aircraft.

  6. 4. Electromagnetic Simulation, Analysis and Design with Application to Antennas and Radar Absorbers

    Author : Alireza Motevasselian; Lars Jonsson; Lars Pettersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The present thesis considers two different subjects in the research area of electromagnetics. The first part is concerned with antenna design and the second with radar absorbers and rasorber.In the first part, a novel excitation technique for cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas is introduced to produce circular polarization.
