  1. 11. Hypothermia and radiation. Effects on DNA, chromatin and cellular survival

    Author : Kerstin Elmroth; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cells; temperature; irradiation; dsb; survival; fluorescent nucleoid assay; hypothermia;

    Abstract : The effect of ionising radiation on cells can be modulated by several physico-chemical factors. The aim of this study was to investigate if hypothermic (sub-physiological) temperatures (2°C-28°C) may influence the effect of X-rays on cellular damage in human normal fibroblasts and in a human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, MCF-7.

  2. 12. The influence of Diluents and Side Groups of the Ligands on Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Actinides and Lanthanides

    Author : Teodora Retegan Vollmer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Am; side group; radionuclides; liquid-liquid extraction; Eu; irradiation; diluents.;

    Abstract : Fossil fuels are no longer a choice for energy production, both because of their diminishing availability and the bi-products of their combustion processes. A possibility to replace the fossil fuels would be utilization of nuclear power. No green-house gases are produced, but as any industry, it generates wastes. READ MORE

  3. 13. Wafer Bonding for Spaceflight Applications : Processing and Characterisation

    Author : Kerstin Jonsson; Maaike Visser-Taklo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering physics; wafer bonding; oxygen plasma; wet chemical; anodic bonding; gamma irradiation; proton irradiation; temperature cycling; vibration; shock; Weibull; adhesion quantification; double cantilever beam; tensile; chevron; blister; Teknisk fysik; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Bonding techniques intended for assembling space microsystems are studied in this work. One of the largest problems in bonding pre-processed semiconductor wafers are the severe process restrictions imposed by material compatibility issues. READ MORE

  4. 14. Noise Aspects of some Si-based One Port Devices and Carbon Nanotubes

    Author : Hassan Ouacha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; etching; Schottky contacts; noise; fluctuations; generation; mobility; noise spectroscopy; recombination; p-n diodes; carbon nanotubes; thermal reaction; junction; defects; co-sputtering; irradiation; interface states; low frequency noise;

    Abstract : The p-n junctions and Schottky diodes based on Si1-xGex and SiC are of great importance in modern electronic applications, such as microwave detectors and mixers. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have appeared recently as an attractive new class of materials with a reduced dimensionality, and proposed as building blocks for nanoelectronic technology. READ MORE

  5. 15. Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation Induces Neurotoxicity in the Neonate : Acute or fractionated doses and interaction with xenobiotics in mice

    Author : Sonja Buratovic; Per Eriksson; Henrik Viberg; Bo Stenerlöw; Anders Fredriksson; Jean-René Jourdain; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionizing radiation; Neonatal; Neurotoxicity; Behaviour; Nicotine; Ketamine; Mouse; Cognition; Acute irradiation; Fractionated irradiation;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the developmental neurotoxic effects of exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation (IR), alone or together with xenobiotics, during a critical period of neonatal brain development in mice.During mammalian brain development there is a period called the brain growth spurt (BGS), which involves extensive growth and maturation of the brain.
