    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex polygenic disease influenced by both environmental and genetic factors resulting in impaired insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and insulin resistance in target tissues. The incidence of T2D is escalating and it is projected that over 640 million people will be affected by 2040. READ MORE

    Abstract : Swedish tree species of birch (silver: Betula pendula and downy: B. pubescens) are often neglected during forest management activities, resulting in low value logs. This thesis investigated birch stem characteristics and wood properties important for solid wood products, in genetics and management trials in southern Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Effect of Boron in Metal Borides and BN – A Theoretical Approach

    Author : Anna Pallas; Karin Larsson; R. (Bob) Jones; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic Chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : Boron, B, has many interesting electronic and structural properties, which makes it an ideal material for technical and industrial needs. The different binary materials that have been in focus in the present thesis, do all include B; metal diborides (MB2), cubic boron nitride (c-BN) forming an interface with diamond, and various phases of BN [cubic (c-BN), hexagonal (h-BN), wurtzitic (w-BN), and rhombohedral (r-BN)].
