  2. 1. The significance of mitochondrial respiratory function in regulating oxygen uptake and performance in humans

    Author : Daniele A. Cardinale; Filip J Larsen; David Bishop; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mitochondria; OXPHOS; p50mito; mitochondrial oxygen affinity; oxygen extraction; sex difference; hyperoxia; training; muscle metabolism; performance; HIIT; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Abstract : The mitochondrion is one of the most fascinating organelles of our cells which has kept and keeps researchers busy in studying its origin, the complex morphology, the numerous functions, the rapid adaptations to a variety of stimuli and its role in health and disease. Exercise challenges cellular homeostasis and skeletal muscle mitochondria greatly adapt to repeated bouts of exercise by increasing mitochondrial respiratory function and content to match energy requirements and to better sustain future perturbations induced by muscle contractions.

  4. 2. Degradation of organic matter in wastewater -Enhanced denitrification and removal of refractory organics

    Author : Marinette Hagman; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; leachate; denitrification; carbon source; advanced oxidation; Activated sludge; wastewater; oxygen uptake rate; ozone;

    Abstract : Degradation of organic matter takes place in many processes within a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The need for optimisations and extended degradation processes for both organics and nitrogen will increase as outlet demands are strengthened and increasing loads are desired. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies of transport in oxides on Zr-based materials

    Author : Clara Anghel; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Zirconium; hydrogen; oxygen diffusion; second-phase particle; oxidation; dissociation; hydration; carbon monoxide; adsorption; porosity; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Zr-based materials have found their main application in the nuclear field having high corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption cross-section. The oxide layer that is formed on the surface of these alloys is meant to be the barrier between the metal and the corrosive environment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Use and Development of Diffusive Samplers to Analyse the Fate of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds, Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Pharmaceuticals in Wastewater Treatment Processes

    Author : Lijana Augulyte; Patrik L. Andersson; Anna Ledin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioavailable; biologically activated carbon; PRCs; sampling rate; SPMD; sorption; wastewater treatment; diffusive passive samplers; human pharmaceuticals; municipal sewage treatment plant; organic micropollutants; polycyclic aromatic compounds; PAHs; PCBs; POCIS; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : The efficiency of wastewater treatment systems is commonly measured by the reductions of parameters such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) and/or reductions in levels of selected macro compounds (e.g. long-chained hydrocarbons and inorganic compounds).

  7. 5. Assessment of a partial nitritation/Anammox system for nitrogen removal

    Author : Luiza Gut; Elzbieta Plaza; Joanna Surmacz-Gorska; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biofilm; Deammonification; Nitrogen removal; Oxygen Uptake Rate OUR ; Partial nitritation Anammox system; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the performance of a deammonification system designed as a two-step tech-nology consisting of an initial partial nitritation followed by an Anammox process. Operation of a technical-scale pilot plant at the Himmerfjärden Wastewater Treatment Plant (Grödinge, Swe-den) has been assessed. READ MORE
