1. Causes and consequences of individual variation in energy turnover rates
Abstract : Individual energy turnover rates can vary remarkably, even within a species. In this thesis I study the causes and consequences of this pronounced variation and show that individual energy turnover rates can be affected by a large number of factors. READ MORE

2. The effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation at energy balance in man
Abstract : The principal goal of the thesis has been to evaluate the effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation. Body composition assessment is of importance as an indicator of the energy balance. Therefore, in the first study the aim was to develop new models to estimate body composition more accurately.

4. Renewable Energy and Nutrient Valorization from Anaerobic Digestion : Resource-Efficient Solutions
Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis aimed at understanding process performance, methane yield, and key influencing factors within the context of solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD). SS-AD is used to treat organic material with high solids content, which can be challenging to address by alternative methods. READ MORE

5. Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle in organ culture
Abstract : Contraction of blood vessels for the regulation of blood flow and pressure is dependent on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) located in the medial layer of the vascular wall. Adult, differentiated VSMC have a well developed contractile system and a low rate of proliferation. READ MORE
