  2. 11. Vanadate and Peroxovanadate Complexes of Biomedical Relevance : A speciation approach with focus on diabetes

    Author : András Gorzsás; Lage Pettersson; Carlos F. G. C. Geraldes; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; vanadium; hydrogen peroxide; lactate; citrate; phosphate; alanyl serine; picolinic acid; speciation; formation constants; equilibrium; solution structure; potentiometry; NMR 51V; 31P; 13C; 1H ; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is one of the most threatening epidemics of modern times with rapidly increasing incidence. Vanadium and peroxovanadium compounds have been shown to exert insulin–like actions and, in contrast to insulin, are orally applicable. However, problems with side–effects and toxicity remain.

  4. 12. Effects of disorder in metallic systems from First-Principles calculations

    Author : Christian Asker; Igor Abrikosov; Jörg Neugebauer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Iron; Nickel; Magnesium; Manganese; Molybdenum; Zirconium; Elastic Constants; High pressure; Earth s core; Density-functional theory; Ab-initio; First-Principles; Core-level shifts; Molecular Dynamics; Phonons; Dynamical Instability; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik; Computational physics; Beräkningsfysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, quantum-mechanical calculations within density-functional theory on metallic systems are presented. The overarching goal has been to investigate effects of disorder. In particular, one of the properties investigated is the bindingenergy shifts for core electrons in binary alloys using different theoretical methods. READ MORE

  5. 13. Energy Relevant Materials: Investigations Based on First Principles

    Author : Erna-Krisztina Delczeg-Czirjak; Levente Vitos; Manuel Richter; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; magneto-caloric; DFT; elastic constants; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Energy production, storage and efficient usage are all crucial factors for environmentally sound and sustainable future technologies. One important question concerns the refrigeration industry, where the energy efficiency of the presently used technologies is at best 40% of the theoretical Carnot limit. READ MORE

  6. 14. Dynamic Load Models for Power Systems - Estimation of Time-Varying Parameters During Normal Operation

    Author : Ines Romero; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; voltage stability; Load modeling; modeling and identification; dynamic load models; normalization in reactive load models;

    Abstract : Economic and environmental concerns will slow down the expansion of the transmission system in many countries. The addition of new transmission lines will be few and far between. The de-regulation of the power supply will introduce new power flow patterns on the bulk transmission systems. READ MORE

  7. 15. Protein Interactions: Electrostatics and Ligand Binding

    Author : Ingemar André; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik; secondary structure formation; protein GB1; pKa values; pH stability; NMR; electrostatic interactions; M proteins; calbindin D9k; calcium binding; cooperativity; calmodulin; calbindin D28k;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with Ca2+ binding to proteins, electrostatic interactions in and between proteins as well as inter- and intramolecular interactions. A computer program was developed to determine Ca2+ binding constants from experimental titration data of proteins. READ MORE
