1. Theoretical Investigations of C–O Activation in Biomass
Abstract : This thesis focuses on using computational chemistry approaches to study how biobased molecules interact with both homo- and heterogeneous catalysts. The reaction mechanisms of such transformations have also been studied. READ MORE

2. Asymmetric lateral loading of the human trunk
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.

4. Triggering and mechanisms of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity
Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that contribute to defense against infected and transformed cells by target cell killing and cytokine release. In addition, data suggest that NK cells contribute to immune homeostasis and reproduction. READ MORE

5. Sagittal plane knee motion during activity in the anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee
Abstract : A complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) results in static and often in functional instability. After an ACL-injury, most patients have to decrease their activity level, while some can cope with their injury and manage to keep a high activity level. READ MORE
