  2. 6. Prediction of wood species and pulp brightness from roundwood measurements

    Author : David Nilsson; Ulf Edlund; Michael Sjöström; Olav Kvalheim; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Design of Experiments; ISO brightness; Multivariate Image Analysis; Multivariate Modelling; NIR spectroscopy; Norway spruce; PCA; PLS; Roundwood; Scots pine; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a number of studies, where a multivariate approach was taken to construct models that predict wood species and thermo mechanical pulp brightness from roundwood of Norway spruce and Scots pine. The first and second studies produced multivariate prediction models for wood species from the bark of spruce and pine. READ MORE

  4. 7. Water for a few : a history of urban water and sanitation in East Africa

    Author : David Nilsson; Arne Kaijser; Gunilla Andrae; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; urban water; urban sanitation; urban history; development studies; African history; environmental history; large technical systems; socio-technical systems; institutional change; public service; History of technology; Teknikhistoria;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis describes and analyses the modern history of the socio-technical systems for urban water supply and sanitation in East Africa with focus on Uganda and Kenya. The key objective of the thesis is to evaluate to what extent the historic processes frame and influence the water and sanitation services sectors in these countries today. READ MORE

  5. 8. Dietary Fatty Acids and Cardiometabolic Risk : Influence on Lipoproteins, Insulin Resistance and Liver Fat

    Author : David Iggman; Ulf Risérus; Tommy Cederholm; Åke Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Linoleic acid; Palmitic acid; PUFA; SFA; n-6 fatty acids; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate how dietary fatty acids affect the risk for cardiometabolic disease, i.e. cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes and obesity. READ MORE

  6. 9. The role of nitric oxide in cytoskeleton-mediated organelle transport and cell adhesion

    Author : Harriet Nilsson; David Sugden; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule that is produced by many different kinds of cells, and it is known to mediate actions such as blood vessel dilation, communication between nerve cells, and killing of bacteria in infections. The cytoskeleton is involved in many important cellular functions, among them intracellular transport of organelles, migration, and cell division. READ MORE

  7. 10. Robust optimisation of structures : Evaluation and incorporation of variations in simulation based design

    Author : David Aspenberg; Larsgunnar Nilsson; Kjell Simonsson; Niels Olhoff; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the robustness of structures considering various uncertainties. The overall objective is to evaluate and develop simulation based design methods in order to find solutions that are optimal both in the sense of handling typical load cases and minimising the variability of the response, i.e. robust optimal designs.
