  2. 21. The role of genetic variation and DNA methylation in human glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes

    Author : Tina Rönn; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gene expression; oxidative phosphorylation; GWAS; SNP; DNA methylation; epigenetics; type 2 diabetes;

    Abstract : The incidence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, with the most prevalent form being type 2 diabetes. Two fundamental processes contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance in target organs and insufficient insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells. READ MORE

  4. 22. Models and Algorithms - with applications to vehicle tracking and frequency estimation

    Author : Joakim Gunnarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; motion models; subspace methods; radar detections; Automotive; F-ESPRIT.; vehicle tracking; frequency estimation;

    Abstract : This thesis considers two different research problems; one concerned with the issue of tracking vehicles and one related to estimating frequencies in harmonic signals. The vehicle-tracking problem is addressed from the perspective of an automotive-safety application, which seeks to monitor the course of surrounding road users with the objective to make decisions regarding if, how and when to intervene.

  5. 23. Relationship between motion of bubbles and agglomeration of inclusions into clusters during solidification of continuously cast steel

    Author : Arash Safavi Nick; Mickael Vynnycky; Seppo Louhenkilpi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The possibility of cluster formation during solidication of steel is explored to explain structures that are seen on the fracture surface of the steel. A hypothesis is built that postulates porosities provide favourable locations for inclusions to agglomerate and form clusters. READ MORE

  6. 24. Pathophysiology and treatment of defective insulin secretion in diabetes

    Author : Anders Rosengren; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pancreatic beta-cells; stem cells; genetics; exocytosis; Adra2a; PACAP; GLP-1; Physiology; Fysiologi; secreting systems; Endocrinology; diabetology; Endokrinologi; insulin secretion; Diabetes mellitus; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Abstract : Defective insulin secretion is a central feature in diabetes mellitus and results from reduced pancreatic beta-cell mass as well as aberrant beta-cell function. The pathophysiology of diabetes is incompletely known, but a strong hereditary component is suggested. READ MORE

  7. 25. Assessment of Myocardial Function using Phase Based Motion Sensitive MRI

    Author : Henrik Haraldsson; Tino Ebbers; Matts Karlsson; Jan Engvall; Matthias Stuber; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Quantitative assessment of myocardial function is a valuable tool for clinical applications and physiological studies. This assessment can be acquired using phase based motion sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. READ MORE
