6. Theory of X-ray Absorption Spectra and Spin Transfer Torque
Abstract : The subjects of the thesis are theoretical first principles calculations of X-ray absorption (XA) spectra and current induced spin transfer torque. XA spectra calculated from atomic multiplet theory and from band structure calculations, based on density functional theory for La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 have been compared to experiment. READ MORE

7. Calculations of Clean and Adsorbate Covered Metal Surfaces and their Core-Level Photoemission Spectra
Abstract : The present thesis is concerned with the theoretical study of x-ray photoemission spectra from clean and adsorbate-covered metal surfaces. The main tool is ab initio density functional (DFT) total energy calculations. READ MORE

8. Effects of Ageing and Physical Activity on Regulation of Muscle Contraction
Abstract : The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms underlying (1) the ageing-related motor handicap at the whole muscle, cellular, contractile protein and myonuclear levels; and (2) ageing-related differences in muscle adaptability.In vivo muscles function was studied in the knee extensors.

9. Metabolomics studies of ALS : a multivariate search for clues about a devastating disease
Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot’s disease, motor neuron disease (MND) and Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a deadly, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in evolving paresis of the linked muscles. ALS is defined by classical features of the disease, but may present as a wide spectrum of phenotypes. READ MORE

10. Immunity and inflammation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : an epidemiological approach
Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare but lethal neurodegenerative disease, characterized by degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The pathogenesis of ALS is, however, not completely clear. READ MORE
