11. Dynamics of the cold surface layer of polythermal Storglaciären, Sweden
Abstract : Polythermal glaciers, i.e. glaciers with a combination of ice at and below the freezing point, are widespread in arctic and subarctic environments. The polythermal structure has major implications for glacier hydrology, ice flow and glacial erosion. READ MORE

12. Angiogenesis modulates obesity and insulin sensitivity
Abstract : Both white and brown fat are highly vascularized tissues and vascular functions in adipose tissues remain largely unknown. In this thesis work, we aimed to study blood vessels in modulation of adipose tissue functions under physiological conditions. READ MORE

14. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels
Abstract : The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature.

15. Water and Heat Transport in Road Structures : Development of Mechanistic Models
Abstract : The coupled transport of water and heat, involving freezing and thawing, in the road structure and its immediate environment is important to consider for optimal design and maintenance of roads and when assessing solute transport, of e.g. de-icing salt, from roads. READ MORE
