1. Ionization and Fragmentation of Complex Molecules and Clusters : Biomolecules and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Abstract : This work deals with ionization and fragmentation of biomolecules and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. They are studied in the gas phase both as isolated molecules and as weakly bound clusters. READ MORE

2. Bioactivation and binding of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in blood vessel endothelia
Abstract : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants formed by incomplete combustion of organic materials such as fossil fuels and wood. Experimental and epidemiological studies indicate that PAHs may be involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

3. Protein unfolding by interfaces and interactions between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Abstract : In order to theoretically study large and complex systems, a variety of approaches that can be categorized loosely as top-down or bottom-up are followed. While our vision is to bridge the gap between these approaches and use them together in multiscale materials modeling, the present thesis is limited to give examples of each type of approach in the study of soft-matter systems.

4. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements
Abstract : The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These pollutants are considered as the most toxic contaminants in the world due to their persistence in the environment, and the long range of toxicological effects for living beings. READ MORE

5. Residential biomass combustion - emissions of organic compounds to air from wood pellets and other new alternatives
Abstract : It is important to increase the use of biofuels for residential heating in order to decrease the use of fossil fuels and their impact on global warming. The smoke from the combustion of biomass contains a large number of compounds, which to varying degrees can affect the environment and human health. READ MORE
