2. 1. Effects of Bio-Ash Amendments on the Metabolism of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi : A Method Development and Metabolomic Study

   Author : Ana Paola Vilches; Dan Bylund; Sara Norström; Bjarne Strobel; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Forest ecosystems have played a fundamental role in the development of our society. Since the beginning of the civilization, forest have provided us with wood as a product for construction, tools, furniture and domestic heating. The well-being of the forest is therefore fundamental to our existence. READ MORE

4. 2. Disordered Icosahedral Boron-Rich Solids : A Theoretical Study of Thermodynamic Stability and Properties

   Author : Annop Ektarawong; Björn Alling; Michael Widom; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Icosahedral boron-rich solids; Boron carbide; Configurational disorder; First-principles calculations; Thermodynamic stability; Superatom-special quasirandom structure;

   Abstract : This thesis is a theoretical study of configurational disorder in icosahedral boron-rich solids, in particular boron carbide, including also the development of a methodological framework for treating configurational disorder in such materials, namely superatom-special quasirandom structure (SA-SQS). In terms of its practical implementations, the SA-SQS method is demonstrated to be capable of efficiently modeling configurational disorder in icosahedral boron-rich solids, whiles the thermodynamic stability as well as the properties of the configurationally disordered icosahedral boron-rich solids, modeled from the SA-SQS method, can be directly investigated, using the density functional theory (DFT).

5. 3. Development of sensitive EPR dosimetry methods

   Author : Håkan Gustafsson; Eva Lund; Anders Lund; Dag Rune Olsen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electron paramagnetic resonance EPR ; Formic acids; pharmacology; Lithium; Nickel; Radiometry; Rhodium; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi;

   Abstract : Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry using the well established dosimeter material alanine is a generally accepted dosimetric method for measurements of high absorbed doses. Alanine EPR dosimetry is however not sensitive enough for high precision measurements of low (< 5 Gy) absorbed doses using reasonably measurement times and small dosimeters. READ MORE

6. 4. Synthesis of tailored nanoparticles for supported oxidation catalysts

   Author : Yanyue Feng; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Supported core@shell nanoparticles; Structural stability; CO oxidation;

   Abstract : The transition from microscale to nanoscale materials design leads to immense changes of physical and chemical properties of the materials. For decades, the design and making of functional nanomaterials have been at the frontier of what can be achieved, even with the more sophisticated synthesis methods. READ MORE

7. 5. Identification and evaluation of antiviral compounds targeting Rift Valley fever virus

   Author : Koushikul Islam; Clas Ahlm; Magnus Evander; Anna K. Överby; Johan Neyts; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : Rift Valley fever virus; antiviral; assay development; screening; drug discovery;

   Abstract : Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), a negative-stranded RNA virus, is the etiological agent of the vector-borne zoonotic disease Rift Valley fever (RVF). RVFV causes significant morbidity and mortality in humans and livestock throughout Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. READ MORE
