  2. 21. Vascular actions of antimicrobial peptides

    Author : Cristina Ciornei; Sektion II; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; vascular smooth muscle; sepsis; nitric oxide; human antimicrobial peptide LL-37; Antimicrobial peptides; lipopolysaccharide; bactericidal permeability-increasing protein;

    Abstract : The present thesis focuses on the vascular effects of antimicrobial peptides especially mechanisms involving the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO), which is released from the blood vessel wall during inflammatory conditions such as sepsis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide stimulates the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which increases the NO production in vascular tissues or cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).

  4. 22. Ga-actions on Complex Affine Threefolds

    Author : Isac Hedén; Heinz Fieseler; Lucy Moser-Jauslin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex affine varieties; algebraic group actions of C^ and C^*; locally nilpotent derivations; graded algebras; principal bundles; Russell s hypersurface;

    Abstract : This  thesis  consists  of two papers  and  a summary.  The  papers  both  deal with  affine algebraic complex  varieties,  and  in particular such  varieties  in dimension  three  that have a non-trivial action  of one of the  one-dimensional  algebraic  groups  Ga   :=  (C, +) and  Gm  :=  (C*, ·).

  5. 23. Environmental Actions and Response - Reinforced Concrete Structures exposed in Road and Marine Environments

    Author : Anders Lindvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforcement corrosion; marine environment; frost action; bridges; concrete; chloride; de-icing salt; environmental actions; road environment; moisture conditions;

    Abstract : The expenses for repair, maintenance and remediation of existing concrete structures have significantly increased. A large proportion of these expenses are due to problems related to a lacking durability of the structure. READ MORE

  6. 24. Recovery actions in freight transport through real-time disruption management

    Author : Per Wide; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; freight transport; transport system; operational planning; proactive recovery actions; Disruption management; real-time information;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the management of disruption in freight transport. The management of disruption is of importance to achieve planned efficiency in the transport system by mitigating or avoiding the impacts of disruptions, such as late arrivals of deliveries. READ MORE

  7. 25. The perception of actions and interactions : And the importance of context

    Author : Joshua Juvrud; Gustaf Gredebäck; Denis Mareschal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; action understanding; action perception; motion; perception; context; environment; eye-tracking; pupil dilation; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : The perception of actions and interactions is a dynamic process linked with perceptual processes, the internal and external states of the individual, prior experiences, and the immediate environment. Given these differential contexts, it is very likely there are differences in how infants perceive, interpret, and respond to actions. READ MORE
