  2. 1. Sarcopenia

    Author : Erik Edström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aging; sarcopenia; atrophy; regeneration; innervation; dietary restriction;

    Abstract : Sarcopenia (Greek; sarcos: flesh, and penia: poverty) is the pronounced muscle loss that affects the aging population. Sareopenia of the leg muscles results in loss of independence and increased morbidity in the elderly. Emphasizing hind limb motor function, this thesis investigates different aspects of aging and sarcopenia in a rodent model. READ MORE

  4. 2. Avoiding ageing : Surface degradation of commercial electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries

    Author : Erik Björklund; Kristina Edström; Daniel Brandell; Reza Younesi; Frank Renner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Li-ion battery; Ageing; Photoelectron spectroscopy; Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide;

    Abstract : The battery market today expands rapidly, not least for electric vehicles. But to compete against the combustion engine, the cost of batteries must be reduced. After years of usage, the batteries degrade and need to be exchanged, increasing the cost over the vehicle lifecycle. READ MORE

  5. 3. Surface and porous structure of pigment coatings : Interactions with flexographic ink and effects on print quality

    Author : Erik Bohlin; Caisa Johansson; Per Edström; Göran Ström; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Coating; Pigment; Calendering; Porosity; Flexographic Printing; Print quality; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Each day, we are confronted with a large amount of more or less important information that we have to consider, and even in our digital society we need paper for communication, documentation and education. Much of the paper we use or are confronted by in our daily life, such as newspapers, books and packages, contains printed images or texts, and the appearance of both the print and the supporting surface is important.

  6. 4. Optics of coated paperboard : Aspects of surface treatment on porous structures

    Author : Erik Bohlin; Caisa Johansson; Magnus Lestelius; Per Edström; Per-Åke Johansson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Calendering of coated and uncoated paper is widely used to enhance optical properties such as gloss and print quality. The aim of this thesis is to characterize coatings and prints, and to validate models using experimental results from optical measurements of physical samples. Calendering of coated paper often leads to a brightness decrease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Highly Concentrated Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries : From fundamentals to cell tests

    Author : Viktor Nilsson; Kristina Edström; Patrik Johansson; Erik Berg; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Li-ion battery; SEI; Highly concentrated electrolyte; Al corrosion; Li metal battery;

    Abstract : The electrolyte is a crucial part of any lithium battery, strongly affecting longevity and safety. It has to survive rather severe conditions, not the least at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. READ MORE
