  2. 6. Method for measurement of exposure to electrophiles : Strategy for identification and exposure estimation using N-terminal haemoglobin adducts

    Author : Efstathios Vryonidis; Margareta Törnqvist; Hitesh Motwani; Isabella Karlsson; Marie Pedersen; Gabriele Sabbioni; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Haemoglobin adducts; Electrophilic exposure; LC-MS; Adductomics; Acrylamide; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : We are exposed to many chemicals in our everyday life. Some of these chemicals could pose risks for our health. To reduce such risks, it is important to know what we are exposed to, how much, and how toxic the chemicals are. READ MORE

  4. 7. Regulation and measurement of brown adipose tissue blood flow

    Author : Gustavo Abreu-Vieira; Jan Nedergaard; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an organ specialized in macromolecule combustion in order to produce heat. Because of its high capacity to dissipate energy, it is currently among the best hopes for future treatments of obesity and diabetes. READ MORE

  5. 8. Comfort climate evaluation with thermal manikin methods and computer simulation models

    Author : Håkan O. Nilsson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; equivalent temperature; subject; thermal manikin; mannequin; thermal climate assessment; heat loss; office environment; cabin climate; ventilated seat; computer model; CFD; clothing-independent; comfort zone diagram; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : Increasing concern about energy consumption and the simultaneous need for an acceptable thermal environment makes it necessary to estimate in advance what effect different thermal factors will have on the occupants. Temperature measurements alone do not account for all climate effects on the human body and especially not for local effects of convection and radiation. READ MORE

  6. 9. Radiation Detection Techniques for the Enhancement of Nuclear Safety

    Author : Petty Bernitt Cartemo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; whole body counting; depth profiling; voxel phantom; nuclear safeguards; Monte Carlo; orphan sources; radiation-induced material damage; pulsed beam; positron lifetime;

    Abstract : The hazard originating from the use of nuclear materials in various areas of the society necessitates a number of experimental techniques for controlling and increasing the safety connected to radioactive substances.The following thesis is divided into two parts, representing different aspects to the detection of radiation effects.

  7. 10. A study of surface temperature and heat flux estimations in heating processes by solving an Inverse Heat Conduction Problem

    Author : Patrik Wikström; Wlodzmierz Blasiak; Björn Palm; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

    Abstract : The topic of this thesis is estimation of the dynamic changes of the surface temperatureand heat flux during heating processes by using an inverse method. The local transient surface temperature and heat flux of a steel slab are calculated based on measurements in the interior of the slab. READ MORE
