  2. 1. Tailoring of Transition Metal Silicides as Protective Thin Films on Austenitic Stainless Steel

    Author : Eric Tam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rockwell-C adhesion test; X-ray diffractrometry XRD ; Pretorius’ effective heat of formation EHF model; Ion-beam sputter deposition IBSD ; Reciprocating sliding wear test; Corrosion; Stainless steels; Thin films; Tribology; Transition metal silicides; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS ; Potentiodynamic polarisation measurements;

    Abstract : The objective of this study is to make use of transition metal silicides in a novel way as protective thin films on engineering metals. It can then be possible to take advantage of the potentially good corrosion resistance of metal silicides while compensating for their brittle nature by the ductile bulk material. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fabrication and Corrosion Properties of Nickel Silicides Thin Films

    Author : Eric Tam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nickel silicides; ion-beam sputter deposition; potentiodynamic polarisation measurements; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; corrosion.; thin films;

    Abstract : Surface engineering is a vital issue in engineering materials design. The enhancement of surface properties extends the materials lifetime and improves the materials performance without changing the bulk properties. Thin film deposition is one of the most commonly applied techniques in this field. READ MORE

  5. 3. Deg/HtrA proteases of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 : from biochemical characterization to their physiological functions

    Author : Xuân Tâm Lâm; Christiane Funk; Jörg Nickelsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Deg; HtrA; protease; chaperone; Synechocystis sp. PCC 6903; biochemical characterization; physiological function; proteomics; structure;

    Abstract : The family of Deg/HtrA proteases is present in a wide range of organisms from bacteria, archaea to eukaryota. These ATP-independent serine endopeptidases play key roles in the cellular protein quality control. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. READ MORE

  6. 4. Prisonscape : Literary Reconfigurations of the Real and Imagined Worlds of the Chinese Prison

    Author : Serena De Marchi; Irmy Schweiger; Monika Gänssbauer; Kwok-kan Tam; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Prison; China; Prison Literature; Space; Body; Asiens språk och kulturer; Asian Languages and Cultures;

    Abstract : This study focuses on the prison writings from and about modern China (from the Mao era to the present day). It builds on previous research on Chinese prison camp literature as well as on sociological and historical studies of the evolution of punishments, both within the Chinese context and from a more global perspective.

  7. 5. Optimization of Colistin Dosage in the Treatment of Multiresistant Gram-negative Infections

    Author : Matti Karvanen; Otto Cars; Lena E Friberg; Vincent H Tam; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colistin; CMS; Pharmacology; Pharmacokinetics; PKPD; Antibiotics; Combination therapy; Pharmacometrics; Dosing regimens; Antibiotic resistance; Infectious Diseases; Infektionssjukdomar;

    Abstract : As multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacilli increases, the old antibiotic colistin has rapidly gained attention as one of few last line treatment options in the form of colistin methanesulfonate (CMS), which is hydrolyzed to colistin both in vitro and in vivo. There is a dearth of knowledge on fundamental aspects of colistin, including pharmacokinetics and optimal dosing regimens. READ MORE
