  2. 21. GARD – Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection : From Biomarker Discovery towards a State-of-the-art Testing Platform for Chemical Sensitizers

    Author : Andy Forreryd; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : In vitro assay; skin sensitization; respiratory sensitization; predictive biomarker signatures; in vitro test; hudsensibilisering; luftvägssensibilisering; biomarkörsignaturer;

    Abstract : Chemical hypersensitivity reactions induced in the skin or in the respiratory tract are important health concerns and develops following repeated exposure to certain chemicals, termed sensitizers. To prevent such hazardous compounds from entering the consumer market, legal frameworks within EU require chemicals to be tested for their capacity to induce hypersensitivity. READ MORE

  4. 22. On efficient use of censored data and covariate factors in survival analysis and maintenance scheduling

    Author : Ulf Westberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology and Management;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with survival analysis and maintenance scheduling, two important issues to achieve efficient use of different production systems. In survival analysis of failure time data, the survival function and the cumulative hazard function are important reliability characteristics. READ MORE

  5. 23. Exploring phenomena that affect the fate and impact of radioactive materials in the blue mussel

    Author : Benedict Jaeschke; Clare Bradshaw; Andrew Turner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radioecology; ionising radiation; environmental protection; Mytilus edulis; bioaccumulation; dose-response; ecotoxicology; tritium; particle; hypoxia; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Current protection of the marine environment from radiation is based largely on measuring, estimating and modelling accumulation and impact(s) of radionuclides in a few marine species. Using a relevant marine organism, this thesis focusses on investigating some poorly described phenomena that could cause deviations from predicted measurements. READ MORE
