  2. 21. Daphnids adaptive strategies to UV radiation

    Author : Carla Eloisa Fernández; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : Cladocera; Zooplankton; Andean lakes; Daphnia; Ultraviolet radiation; Migration strategy; Photo-protection;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the adaptive strategies of daphnids that allows them to maintain stable populations while deal with UV radiation, highlighting the differences in the responses that populations with different evolutionary histories may have.Although exposition to lethal doses in nature is unlikely, sub-lethal UV-B radiation doses may have strong impacts on zooplankton.

  4. 22. Modeling Quantum Cascade Lasers : The Challenge of Infra-Red Devices

    Author : Martin Franckie; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum Cascade Lasers; Non-equilibrium Green s functions; Modeling; semiconductor heterostructures; Quantum Cascade Lasers; Non-equilibrium Green s functions; THz radiation; infrared radiation; semiconductor heterostructures; Modeling Simulation Technology; Fysicumarkivet A:2016:Franckié;

    Abstract : We live in a time of rapid scientific and technological advancement. People liv- ing 100 years ago could never dream of inventions like those having completely changed our way of life, and our perception of the world; computers, mobile phones, the Internet, space travel, unraveling the mysteries of the early universe and distant galaxies, and our insight into the microscopic world of quantum phe- nomena.

  5. 23. Ultraviolet radiation cataract

    Author : Konstantin Galichanin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : lens;

    Abstract : Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports a link between mid-range ultraviolet radiation (UVR-B) exposure and the development of cataract. READ MORE

  6. 24. Biophysical studies of cell membrane receptors for the growth factors PDGP and EGF : Aspects on lateral and aggregation

    Author : Pia Ljungquist-Höddelius; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : When extracellular growth factors bind to their specific cell surface receptors, they elicit a cascade of biochemical events, including tyrosine kinase-mediated phosphorylation and changes in intracellular free ca2+, leading to cell differentiation and proliferation. However, direct effects of ligand-binding on the receptors are poorly understood. READ MORE

  7. 25. Functional Nanocellulose–Tannin Materials Inspired by Nature and Traditional Processes

    Author : Konstantin Kriechbaum; Lennart Bergström; Alain Dufresne; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose; Nanofibrils; Tannin; Biobased; Films; Foams; Moisture resistance; Energy efficiency; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Renewable and biodegradable alternatives to fossil-based materials are essential as concerns over depleting finite resources and the pollution of our ecosystems are growing. Abundant, highly anisotropic, and mechanically strong cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are attractive building blocks for the fabrication of high-performance biobased materials that can compete with their conventional fossil-based counterparts.
