2. 1. Interactions and dynamics in biophysical model systems

   Author : Erik G. Brandt; Olle Edholm; Michael Odelius; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biological physics; Biologisk fysik;

   Abstract : Computer simulations of simplified model systems provide understanding of how complex biological systems behave. The simulations give detailed information about the systems, with atomistic resolution, that can be used in combination with experimental knowledge to shed light on underlying physical principles.

4. 2. Fighting for Aid : Foreign Funding and Civil Conflict Intensity

   Author : Daniel Strandow; Magnus Öberg; Michael G. Findley; Kristian Skrede Gleditsch; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aid; foreign aid; foreign assistance; relief; humanitarian; conflict; civil war; civil conflict; geographic concentration; intra-state; violence; military; contest; low-intensity; guerrilla; irregular; conventional; decision theory; contest success function; geo-coding; geo-referencing; territorial control; propensity score; Africa; South of the Sahara; Peace and Conflict Research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Abstract : This dissertation focuses on the sub-national impact of foreign aid on civil conflicts by asking the question: How does foreign aid committed to contested areas affect the intensity of violence in those areas? The main theoretical contribution is to focus on how aid influences warring parties’ decisions to engage in contests over territorial control and how that in turn influences violence intensity. The study introduces two concepts: funding concentration and barriers to exploiting aid. READ MORE

5. 3. Large-Scale Road Network Vulnerability Analysis

   Author : Erik Jenelius; Lars-Göran Matsson; Michael G. H. Bell; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; vulnerability; risk reliability; transport; infrastructure; road network; Other social sciences; Övrig samhällsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Disruptions in the transport system can have severe impacts for affected individuals, businesses and the society as a whole. In this research, vulnerability is seen as the risk of unplanned system disruptions, with a focus on large, rare events. READ MORE

6. 4. Palladium-Catalysed Carbon–Carbon Coupling Reactions : Focusing on Microwave Heating, Low Catalyst Concentrations, Aqueous Conditions, Regioselectivity and Medicinal Chemistry Applications

   Author : Riina K Arvela; Mats Larhed; Anders Hallberg; Michael G Organ; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Suzuki coupling; Heck reaction; palladium; microwave heating; water; vinyl ethregioselective; HIV-1 integrase inhibitor; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; farmaceutisk biokemi; Pharmaceutical Biochemistry;

   Abstract : It is widely accepted that palladium is one of the most useful catalysts in organic chemistry, and many palladium(0)-catalysed carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions have been developed over the years. In addition, the ever-growing need for more environmentally benign processes in the chemical industry has driven scientists to look for greener options while developing new methodologies for organic synthesis.

7. 5. Latent variable models for longitudinal twin data

   Author : Annica Dominicus; Juni Palmgren; Nancy L. Pedersen; Michael G. Kenward; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Latent variable models; twin models; variance components; change point models; non-ignorable nonresponse; likelihood ratio tests; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : Longitudinal twin data provide important information for exploring sources of variation in human traits. In statistical models for twin data, unobserved genetic and environmental factors influencing the trait are represented by latent variables. In this way, trait variation can be decomposed into genetic and environmental components. READ MORE
