  4. 2. The Application of isotropic bicelles as model membranes

    Author : August Andersson; Lena Mäler; G Arthur III Palmer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bicelle; membrane; peptide; spectroscopy; NMR; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik;

    Abstract : Isotropic bicelles are disc-shaped aggregates of lipids and detergents, and are suitable model systems for high-resolution NMR studies of membrane-interacting peptides. In this thesis the structures for the two peptides motilin and transportan were determined by homonuclear 1H methods in the presence of bicelles, and the structure of the bovine prion protein peptide (bPrPp) was solved in the presence of DHPC micelles.

  5. 3. Effect of Home Based Life Saving Skills education on knowledge of obstetric danger signs, birth preparedness, utilization of skilled care and male involvement : A Community-based intervention study in rural Tanzania

    Author : Furaha August; Elisabeth Darj; Pia Axemo; Albrecht Jahn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness; Obstetric danger signs; Male Involvement; Community Health Workers; Maternal Health; Rural; Tanzania;

    Abstract : Use of skilled care during antenatal visits and delivery is recommended to address the burden of maternal mortality. However there are few facility deliveries and insufficient knowledge of danger signs, especially in rural Tanzania. READ MORE

  6. 4. Insights in paper and paperboard performance by fiber network micromechanics

    Author : August Brandberg; Artem Kulachenko; Sören Östlund; Carl Dahlberg; Rami Mansour; Kristofer Gamstedt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Fiber networks are ubiquitous due to their low cost and high ratio of mechanical performance to weight. Fiber networks made of cellulose fibers from trees are used as information carriers (paper) and as packaging (board). Often the ideal product is both mechanically sturdy and possible to print on.

  7. 5. Micro-mechanical characterization and modeling of paper and paperboard

    Author : August Brandberg; Artem Kulachenko; Sören Östlund; Carl Dahlberg; Rami Mansour; Ron Peerlings; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Fiber networks made of cellulose fibers from trees are used as information carriers (paper) and as packaging (paperboard). This thesis investigates the mechanical performance of paper and paperboard via micro-mechanical modeling and presents new methods for the mechanical characterization of the micro scale, necessary in such models.
