2. 1. Vehicle-related injuries : with emphasis on fatality prevention

   Author : Mats Öström; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fatalities; injury; prevention; traffic; disease; alcohol; helmet; airbag;

   Abstract : According to WHO, Sweden should aim to reduce unintentional fatalities, particularly vehicle-related injuries, by 25% by the year 2000. The aim of this thesis was to analyze vehicle-related injuries and injury events, especially the contributory effects of alcohol and disease and the injury reducing capacity of helmets and airbags in order to point out some preventive measures.

   Abstract : This thesis reports on unsaturated silicon compounds, as well as excursions from these into germanium chemistry, single molecule electronics, and silyl protective group chemistry. Both experimental and computational investigations were performed. READ MORE

6. 4. Effects of plasticizing and crosslinking on the mechanical and barrier properties of coatings based on blends of starch and poly(vinyl alcohol)

   Author : Asif Javed; Lars Järnström; Henrik Ullsten; Peter Rättö; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Citric acid; Glycerol; Polyethylene glycol; Barrier properties; Starch; Mechanical properties; Polyvinyl alcohol; Adhesion; Cross linking; Extrusion coating; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : In the last decades, intensive research has been carried out in order to replace oil-based polymers with bio-based polymers due to growing environmental concerns. So far, most of the barrier materials used in food packaging are petroleum-based materials. READ MORE

7. 5. Medium chain dehydrogenases/reductases : alcohol dehydrogenases of novel types

   Author : Annika Norin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Alcohol dehydrogenase; Nicotinoproteins; Structural interpretations; Functional properties; Molecular evolution.;

   Abstract : The medium chain dehydrogenase/reductase (MDR) superfamily is separated into at least eight families, of which the dimeric alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is one. Including species variants, close to 1000 MDR forms have been characterized. READ MORE
