6. Microfluidics for High-Pressure Inertial Focusing : Focusing, Separation and Concentration of Micro and Sub-micron Particles
Abstract : The birth of microsystems set the ground for technologies never imagined before, for it is not only the small size what characterizes the miniaturized systems, but unique phenomena arise in the micro scale. This thesis relates to one such unique phenomenon, inertial focusing, a phenomenon that occurs in microfluidic systems if very special conditions are met and that allows for fine manipulation of particles in fluid samples.

7. On plant responses to D-amino acids : features of growth, root behaviour and selection for plant transformation
Abstract : Amino acids have been regarded as potential plant nitrogen sources for more than a century. Some amino acids have been shown to support growth while others have growth-retarding effects. The D-isomers with notably adverse effects on plants’ growth and development include D-serine and D-alanine. READ MORE

8. Assessment of microvascular and metabolic responses in the skin
Abstract : The general aim of this project was to develop experimental in vivo models that allow for minimally invasive investigations of responses in the skin to microvascular and metabolic provocations. The cutaneous microvasculature has emerged as a valuable model and been proposed to mirror the microcirculation in other organs. READ MORE

9. Steam Explosion of Wood
Abstract : The rising price of petroleum and environmental concerns regarding CO2 emissions has increased interest in alternative renewable resources. Biomass can be considered as an excellent alternative raw material. A biorefinery uses biomass and produces fuel, energy and value-added chemicals. READ MORE
