  2. 1. Islet amyloid polypeptide in the control of food intake : an experimental study in the rat

    Author : Urban Arnelo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : body weight; glucose metabolism; IAPP; meal patterns; monoamines; neuropeptides; radioimmunoassay; rats; satiety;

    Abstract : Control of food intake and satiety are physiologically complex processes, that only partly are understood. Several hormonal peptides have been proposed to mediate satiety. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a recently discovered 37 amino acid peptide, mainly produced by the pancreatic ß-cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. An experimental study of the flow in a sharp-heel Kaplan draft tube

    Author : Urban Andersson; Torbjørn K Nilsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This research project was originally part of a package (Turbine-99 Draft Tube) that had a mutual goal, to improve the understanding of draft tube flow and establish Best Practise Guidelines for simulation of draft tube flow.The draft tube is situated after the runner in a Hydropower turbine to recover as much of the remaining head and kinetic energy as possible before the water leaves the turbine.

  5. 3. The long-term injured competitive athlete : A study of psychosocial risk factors

    Author : Urban Johnson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; age; Adaptation; competitive athlete; coping; gender; long-term injury; mood; multiply-injured; non-returning; prediction; personality; psychosocial risk factors; sport; Applied and experimental psychology; sport; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi;

    Abstract : The thesis includes five separate studies concerned mainly with psychosocial aspects of the problems that athletes afflicted with long-term sport injuries face. The first study deals with relationships between personality variables, coping strategies and mood-levels, both in athletes participating in competitive sports and in a non-athlete reference groups.

  6. 4. Transforming growth factor-ß. Signal regulation in health and disease

    Author : Urban Molander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TGF-b; BMP; Smad; signal transduction; LDL; skin tumour; mesangial;

    Abstract : TGF-b superfamily members have been shown to play a pivotal role in multicellular organisms. Knowledge about signal transduction pathways is important in order to understand and cure diseases like cancer where TGF-b´s growth inhibitory signal often are disenabled via mutated or absent signalling components.

  7. 5. Piezoactuators for Miniature Robots

    Author : Urban Simu; Jean-Marc Breguet; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; English; engelska;

    Abstract : Challenges in the realisation of a miniature robot are both to handle the complexity of such a system, and to cope with effects of the actual reduction in physical size of all the parts. In particular, the mechanisms for locomotion have to be analysed. READ MORE
