   Author : Peter Jacobson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Obesity; candidate genes; metabolic syndrome; resting metabolic rate; respiratory quotient; assortative mating;

   Abstract : Aims: To investigate two obesity candidate genes, the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and the adiponectin hormone (APM1), by screening their genomic sequences. To search the human genome for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to resting metabolic rate (RMR), and respiratory quotient (RQ). READ MORE

4. 2. Combustion Valve Wear : A Tribological Study of Combustion Valve Sealing Interfaces

   Author : Peter Forsberg; Staffan Jacobson; Rob Dwyer-Joyce; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion valves; wear; tribofilm; test rig; combustion residue; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tribomaterial; Engineering Science with specialization in Tribo Materials;

   Abstract : The exhaust valve system of combustion engines experiences a very complex contact situation of frequent impact involving micro sliding, high and varying temperatures, complex exhaust gas chemistry and possible particulates, etc. In addition, the tribological situation in the exhaust valve system is expected to become even worse due to strict future emission regulations, which will require enhanced combustion and cleaner fuels.
