  2. 1. NMR Diffusion Studies of Association in Surfactant Systems Inclusion Complexes, Micellar Solutions and Microemulsions

    Author : Markus Nilsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; host-guest complexation; gemini surfactant; cyclodextrin; bolaform surfactant; self-diffusion NMR; pluronic; bicontinuous microemulsion; polydispersity; boosting effect;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to investigate self-diffusion behavior of host-guest complex, microemulsion and polymer solution. Pulsed Field Gradient NMR (PFG-NMR) was shown to provide detailed molecular information in all system studied. READ MORE

    Abstract : Background: Great strides have been made in combating malaria, however, the indicators in sub Saharan Africa still do not show promise for elimination in the near future as malaria infections still result in high morbidity and mortality among children. The abundance of the malaria-transmitting mosquito vectors in these regions are driven by climate suitability. READ MORE

  5. 3. Initiation of spleen contraction resulting in natural blood boosting in humans

    Author : Angelica Lodin; Erika Schagatay; Mats H. Linér; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acclimatization; altitude; apnea; breath-hold diving; hemoglobin; hypercapnia; hypoxia; triggers;

    Abstract : The spleen has been shown to contract in apneic situations in humans as well as in other diving mammals, expelling its stored red blood cell content into circulation. This natural blood boosting may increase the circulating hemoglobin concentration (Hb) by up to 10%, which would enhance the oxygen carrying capacity and likely increase performance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Boosting potato defence against late blight : a study from field to molecule

    Author : Therese Bengtsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : For more than one century efforts has been made to obtain potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars resistant to late blight. However, introduced resistance has repeatedly been overcome by Phytophthora infestans (Mont) de Bary. READ MORE

  7. 5. Essays on Empirical Development Economics: Education, Health and Gender

    Author : Martina Björkman; Jakob Svensson; Paul Gertler; Stockholms universitet; []
