  2. 16. Brain anatomical correlates of perceptual phonological proficiency and language learning aptitude

    Author : Mikael Novén; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prosody; word accent; MRI; language learning aptitude; cortical morphometry; diffusion kurtosis imaging;

    Abstract : The present dissertation concerns how brain tissue properties reflect proficiency in two aspects of language use: the ability to use tonal cues on word stems to predict how words will end and the aptitude for learning foreign languages. While it is known that people differ in their language abilities and that damage to brain tissue cause loss of cognitive functions, it is largely unknown if differences in language proficiencies correlate with differences in brain structure.

  4. 17. Epidemiological, mechanistic and genetic aspects of vascular ageing and arterial stiffness in the population

    Author : Mikael Gottsäter; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : Vascular ageing; Arterial stiffness;

    Abstract : The core feature of vascular ageing is the age-associated stiffening of the large, elastic arteries, or arteriosclerosis. This results in a diminished volume-buffering function and is therefore central for the increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure seen with advancing age. READ MORE

  5. 18. SPECT Imaging using Pinhole Collimation : System Design and Simulation Studies for Pre-Clinical and Clinical Imaging

    Author : Mikael Peterson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pinhole SPECT tomography; Nuclear medicine imaging; Monte Carlo-based image reconstruction;

    Abstract : The focus of this dissertation is the use of pinhole collimation in Nuclear Medicine. A pinhole is a single aperture in an opaque material that is placed between the detector and source of interest, and photons must pass through the hole to reach the detector. The choices of pinhole parameters, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 20. Molasses Purification and Valorisation : Towards a sustainable production of hydroxymethylfurfural

    Author : Mikael Sjölin; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sugar beet molasses; 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; membrane filtration; hydrolysis; dehydration; adsorption; purification; solvent regeneration;

    Abstract : The industrial transition from petrochemical-based to a more sustainable and circular economy requires the utilisation of renewable biobased raw materials that do not compete with other important industries, such as the food sector, preferably wastes or low value by-products. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile platform chemical that has great potential for utilisation in various sectors in a future bioeconomy, as it can be produced from sugars.
