2. 1. Fabrication and Characterization of Photonic Crystals, Optical Metamaterials and Plasmonic Devices

   Author : Jing Wang; Min Qiu; Min Yan; Ping Shum; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Photonic crystals; metamaterials; plasmonics; Photonics; Fotonik; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

   Abstract :  Nanophotonics is an emerging research field that deals with interaction between light and matter in a sub-micron length scale. Nanophotonic devices have found an increasing number of applications in many areas including optical communication, microscopy, sensing, and solar energy harvesting especially during the past two decades.

4. 2. Characteristics of BVOC emissions from a Swedish boreal forest : Using chambers to capture biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from trees and forest floor

   Author : Min Wang; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BVOCs; boral forest; Norway spruce; forest floor; branch chamber; soil chamber;

   Abstract : Plant-emitted biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a large group of hydrocarbons released by plant leaves, bark, flowers and fruits into the atmosphere and from plant roots into the soil. BVOCs have important physiological and ecological functions, such as mediating within-plant and plant-plant communication, defense against herbivores attack, protection against heat or other oxidative stress, attracting pollinators etc. READ MORE

5. 3. Importance of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and EWS/FLI-1 fusion protein in growth and survival of two different types of neuroectodermal tumor cells

   Author : Min Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Treatment with comparatively low doses of the 3-hydroxy-3-metylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor lovastatin caused growth arrest in both melanoma cells and Ewing's sarcoma (ES) cells. In melanoma cells growth inhibition was correlated with a drastic decrease in N-linked glycosylation of the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), which in turn was followed by a decreased expression of IGF-1 binding sites at the cell surface.

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hyaluronan; Phospholipid; Lubricin; Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein; COMP; Adsorption; Surface Force; Friction; Biolubrication; Boundary Lubrication; Load Bearing Capacity; Synergistic Effects; DLS; QCM-D; AFM.; Hyaluronan; Fosfolipid; Lubricin; Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein; COMP; Adsorption; Ytkraft; Friktion; Biologisk smörjning; Gränsskiktssmörjning; Lastbärande förmåga; Synergieffekter; DLS; QCM-D; AFM.; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis work was to gain understanding of the principles of biolubrication, focusing on synergistic effects between biolubricants. To this end surface force and friction measurements were carried out by means of Atomic Force Microscopy, using hydrophilic and hydrophobic model surfaces in salt solutions of high ionic strength (≈ 150 mM) in presence of different biolubricants.

7. 5. Usability evaluation for human-computer interaction (HCI)

   Author : Eric Min-yang Wang; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Work Environment; Industriell produktionsmiljö;

   Abstract : Computer systems are becoming more and more complicated, powerful, and mysterious, but if the systems is not easy to learn nor easy to use, they will be creating problems to the users, particularly to the novices. As the use of computers in the society from day to day is widespread, by more and more ordinary people, the operation of the systems should be simple enough to really help them but not puzzle them.
