  2. 1. On the Formation of Supported Phospholipid Bilayers

    Author : Erik Reimhult; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vesicle adsorption; formation kinetics; SPR; QCM-D; SPB; AFM; supported lipid bilayer; supported membrane; liposome;

    Abstract : Lipid bilayers are a central component of both the structure and function of biological membranes, like the one surrounding cells of living organisms. Since the lipid bilayer provides a host matrix for membrane proteins, which perform many of the specialized tasks in cells like energy, signal and material transduction, researchers have tried to develop artificial model membranes to study a variety of membrane protein functions.

  4. 2. Phenotypic Plasticity and Adaptation Potential to Salinity in Early Life Stages of the Tunicate, Ciona intestinalis spB

    Author : Elin Renborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transgenerational acclimation; Environmental variation; Tolerance range; Marine invertebrate; Quantitative genetics; Genetic structure; Local adaptation; Sexual selection; Gamete compatibility; Relatedness; Inbreeding; Heritability; Maternal effects;

    Abstract : Species respond to environmental heterogeneity through a variety of mechanisms such as plasticity, genetic adaptation and phenotypic buffering. Determining how gene flow, scale of environmental heterogeneity and trait heritability influence these responses is important for understanding how these different mechanisms arise, which is a central task in the field of evolutionary biology.

  5. 3. Hydrogeochemistry and spatial variability of arsenic and other trace elements in the Lower Katari Basin around Lake Titicaca, Bolivian Altiplano. : Impact on drinking water quality and groundwater management

    Author : Israel Quino Lima; Prosun Bhattacharya; Jerker Jarsjö; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arsenic; trace elements; multivariate analysis; spatial variability; hydrogeology; spatio-temporal variability; Lower Katari Basin; Bolivian Altiplano; alluvial sediments; Arsenik; spårelement; multivariat analys; rumslig variabilitet; hydrogeologi; spatio-temporär variation; Nedre Katari-bassängen; Bolivian Altiplano; alluviala sediment; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Abstract : Arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is a world-wide problem. Thenatural origin of As, its mobility and transport are of great interest in BolivianAltiplano (Lower Katari Basin: LKB and Sothern Poopó Basin: SPB) due topresence of mineral ore deposits, brines, hot springs and volcanic rocks.

  6. 4. Design, Construction and Evaluation of a StackedPolyphase Bridges Converter for Integrated ElectricDrive Systems in Automotive ApplicationsMOJGAN NIKOUIEDoctoral ThesisStockholm, Sweden

    Author : Mojgan Nikouie; Hans-Peter Nee; Oskar Wallmark; Bulent Sarlioglu; Pia Lindh; Michael Andersen; Thomas Ebel; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a new concept for integration of the electricdrive system, specifically for electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications.The topology introduces an integration between the so-calledstacked polyphase bridges (SPB) converter and fractional-slot concentratedpermanent-magnet synchronous machine.

  7. 5. Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery : A Study of Causes and Risk Factors

    Author : Lena Jidéus; Dan Lindblom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Atrial fibrillation; catecholamines; coronary artery bypass surgery; heart rate variability; neuropeptides; premature atrial contraction; thoracic epidural anaesthesia; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Thoracic and Cardivascular Suregery; kirurgi; särskilt thoraxkirurgi;

    Abstract : The aim was to study pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors for developing atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and the effect of thoracic epidural anaesthesia (TEA).The study comprised 141 patients undergoing CABG, including 45 patients randomised for TEA intra- and postoperatively.
