    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; genomics; ultraviolet light; mutational heterogeneity;

    Abstract : Cancer is a disease that is strongly related to evolution, as mutations that confer a benefit to individual cells face positive selection and eventually lead to tumorigenesis. As such, the search for genes that drive cancer development entails distinguishing positive selection from other sources of increased mutation rates, which requires detailed knowledge of how normal mutation rates vary across the genome.

  7. 5. Smart Cities and Climate Targets : Reducing cities' energy use with ICT and travel information

    Author : Anna Kramers; Mattias Höjer; Åsa Svenfelt; Anders Gullberg; Frans Berkhout; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : This thesis examines use of ICT in helping to reduce energy use in cities, thereby contributing to sustainable development and achievement of cities’ climate targets. It explores how targets can be developed in a consistent and transparent way, how to identify the main ICT ‘hotspots’ as regards reducing citizens’ energy use and how they can be included in city planning.
