  2. 1. Mathematical model development to investigate the pharmacokinetic variability of two anticancer drugs

    Author : Martin Fransson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pharmacokinetic variability in a population is the variability in plasma drug concentrations among individuals. It may, for instance, be caused by differences in genes coding for drug-transport proteins and metabolizing enzymes, amount of body fat, age, sex, patient compliance, diet or disease progression.

  4. 2. Towards Individualized Drug Dosage : General Methods and Case Studies

    Author : Martin Fransson; Peter Fritzson; Lena Friberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; drug dosage; population pharmacokinetics; biochemical modelling; identifiability; parameter estimation; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Progress in individualized drug treatment is of increasing importance, promising to avoid much human suffering and reducing medical treatment costs for society. The strategy is to maximize the therapeutic effects and minimize the negative side effects of a drug on individual or group basis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Phase Equilibrium-aided Design of Phase Change Materials from Blends : For Thermal Energy Storage

    Author : Saman Nimali Gunasekara; Viktoria Martin; Justin NingWei Chiu; Torsten Fransson; Ana Ines Fernandez; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal energy storage TES ; phase change material PCM ; phase diagram; congruent melting; compound; solid solution; eutectic; peritectic; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Climate change is no longer imminent but eminent. To combat climate change, effective, efficient and smart energy use is imperative. Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) is one attractive choice to realize this. READ MORE

  6. 4. Climate change effects on migratory birds and on the ecology and behaviour of the willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus)

    Author : Johanna Hedlund; Sven Jakobsson; Thord Fransson; Cecilia Kullberg; Sara Cousins; Martin Schaefer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; bird migration; ecology; phenology; bird; avian; willow warbler; chaffinch; land use change; landscape ecology; historical ecology; etologi; Ethology;

    Abstract : Recent global climate change is influencing the behaviour and ecology of species worldwide. Birds are typical systems to study in this context, as they are often migratory and thus subjected to a variety of environmental effects. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the optimal use of industrial-generated biomass residues for polygeneration

    Author : Marianne Salomón Popa; Torsten Fransson; Andrew Martin; Lasse Rosendahl; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polygeneration; Optimization; Palm Oil; Biomass; forest residues; Colombia; Sweden;

    Abstract : Increasing energy demand as well as climate change concerns call for an analysis and optimization of energy services. Efficient use of energy resources, mitigation of environmental effects and supply an increasing demand are just some of the issues that are relevant nowadays in the energy system. READ MORE
