  2. 11. Integration and function of new neurons generated from fibroblasts and adult neural stem cells in the pathological brain

    Author : James Wood; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurogenesis; neural stem cells; iNs; iPS cells; stroke; epilepsy; electrophysiology;

    Abstract : In Papers One through Six we have investigated the function and integration of “new” neurons – new neurons born from neural stem cells in the adult brain, and new neurons in the sense that they were generated from fibroblasts. Papers One and Two focused on the new neurons generated from neural stem cells in the SVZ and SGZ after pathological insults. READ MORE

  4. 12. Growth hormone, JAKs and STATs : a model cytokine signal transduction system

    Author : Tim Wood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The haematopoietic cytokine family of signalling molecules comprises a variety of polypeptides which have pleiotropic effects on cell differentiation, tissue development and homeostasis. The family includes several interleukins, a variety of growth and colony stimulating factors, erythropoietin, leukaemia inhibitory factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor, the interferons, as well as leptin, prolactin and growth hormone.

  5. 13. Strategic raw material supply for the particleboard-producing industry in Europe : Problems and challenges

    Author : Johann Trischler; Johan Bergh; Rupert Wimmer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass production; Lignocellulosic raw material; Non-wood plants; Particleboard; Pulp and paper; Recycling; Thermal energy recovery; Wood plants; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Particleboard was invented to increase the utilization of wood and it soon became an important core material for furniture production. Nowadays, other industries such as the pulp and papermaking industry and the thermal energy recovery industry claim the same type of raw material. READ MORE

  6. 14. Numerical Analysis of Moisture-Related Distortion in Sawn Timber

    Author : Sigurdur Ormarsson; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer simulations; Deformation; Wood; Moisture; Drying; Finite element method; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : A 3D theory for the numerical simulation of deformations and stresses in wood during moisture variation is described. The constitutive model employed assumes the total strain rate to be the sum of the elastic strain rate, the moisture-induced strain rate, the mechano-sorption strain rate and the creep strain rate.

  7. 15. Wettability of modified wood

    Author : Maziar Sedighi Moghaddam; Agne Swerin; M. Per Calessson; E.P. Magnus Wålinder; Callum Hill; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wood; dimensional stability; dynamic wettability; surface chemistry; microstructure; swelling; multicycle Wilhelmy plate method; contact angle; sorption; acetylation; furfurylation; surface modification; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Despite many excellent properties of wood which make it suitable for many applications, it suffers from a number of disadvantages limiting its use. For instance, modification is needed to reduce water sorption and to improve decay resistance, dimensional stability and weathering performance. READ MORE
