  2. 1. Asymmetric lateral loading of the human trunk

    Author : Qiang-Min Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Eccentric; concentric; isokinetic; electromyography; co-activation; trunk; spinal biomechanics; contraction patterns; lateral bending; lifting and lowering; balance; kinematics; postural control; IAP; support translation.;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to characterize the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the human trunk in response to asymmetric lateral loading. The pulling force and strength capacities as well as muscle activation patterns, trunk kinematics and postural balance in relation to lateral trunk flexion and loading were given special consideration.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Iridium catalyst; carbene; N; P-ligand; asymmetric hydrogenation; alkylation; hydrogen transfer reaction; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : The work described in this thesis is focused on hydrogenation and hydrogen transfer reactions using iridium catalysts. The first part concerns the use of N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine iridium complexes in alkylation reactions (Chapters 2 and 3) and the hydrogenation of ketones (Chapter 4). READ MORE

  7. 5. N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Phosphine Iridium Catalyzed Alkylation Reactions and Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ketones

    Author : Sutthichat Kerdphon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; C-C coupling reactions; hydrogen transfer; iridium; ketones; methylation;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on hydrogen transfer reactions using N-heterocyclic carbenephosphine iridium catalysts and is divided in two parts. The first part describes the use of achiral N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine iridium complexes catalyzing the methylation of ketones and alkylation of amides using alcohols as the electrophile.
