2. 1. ATP-Binding Cassette Efflux Transporters and Passive Membrane Permeability in Drug Absorption and Disposition

   Author : Pär Matsson; Per Artursson; Ulf Norinder; Peter Swaan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Pharmaceutics; ATP-binding cassette; ABC transporter; P-gp; P-glycoprotein; ABCB1; BCRP; Breast cancer resistance protein; ABCG2; MRP2; Multidrug-resistance associated protein 2; ABCC2; Membrane permeability; Drug transport; Active transport; Passive diffusion; Multivariate data analysis; PLS; OPLS; QSAR; Galenisk farmaci;

   Abstract : Transport into and across the cells of the human body is a prerequisite for the pharmacological action of drugs. Passive membrane permeability and active transport mechanisms are major determinants of the intestinal absorption of drugs, as well as of the distribution to target tissues and the subsequent metabolism and excretion from the body.

4. 2. A Passive Sampling System for Monitoring Metals in the Aquatic Environment

   Author : Lena B Blom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; metal diffusion; metal monitoring; metal speciation; aquatic systems; passive sampling system;

   Abstract : Water monitoring is undertaken routinely as a requirement of water quality legislation. It is usual that water monitoring is undertaken through spot sampling. A passive sampling system has been developed for the aquatic environment that provides time-averaged (integrated) concentrations for metals. READ MORE

5. 3. Atomic Spectroscopy on Fusion Relevant Ions and Studies of Light Impurities in the JET Tokamak

   Author : Magnus Tunklev; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Active and Passive Charge Exchange; Transport; Diffusion; Convection; Neutral Background Densities; Ion temperatures; Fusion; Isoelectronic sequences; Plasma; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Tunklev; Ritz formalism; Plume; Atomic and molecular physics;

   Abstract : The spectrum and energy levels C IV and the 3l4l' system of the Mg-like ions in the iron group elements has been investigated. This has led to several hundred identified transitions, many of them previously unknown. READ MORE

6. 4. Lattice Boltzmann simulations of tracer diffusion in microswimmer suspensions

   Author : Henrik Nordanger; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lattice Boltzmann; microswimmers; active matter; enhanced diffusion;

   Abstract : Suspensions of microswimmers are a class of systems inherently out of equilibrium, due to the mechanical work continuously performed by a large number of active agents. Biological examples are plentiful, as many aquatic microorganisms have the ability to propel themselves. READ MORE

7. 5. ALA and m-ALA in bicontinuous lipid formulations: -Characterization and Transdermal Delivery

   Author : Johanna Bender; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; passive diffusion; SAXS; monoolein; methyl 5-aminolevulinate hydrochloride; NMRD; sponge phase; 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride; iontophoresis;

   Abstract : δ-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and its methyl ester (m-ALA) are both used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of certain non melanoma skin cancers as the basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In PDT the cancer cells are destroyed by a photochemical reaction that occurs when a photosensitive molecule is irradiated with light of a certain wavelength. READ MORE
