2. 1. Electrochemical and ion transport characterisation of a nanoporous carbon derived from SiC

   Author : Marcelo Zuleta; Pehr Björnbom; Derek Pletcher; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; Cottrell equation; radial diffusion; chronoamperometry; potential step measurements; microelectrode technique; nanoporous carbon; Kemiteknik; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : In this doctoral project, a relatively new form of carbon material, with unique narrow pore size distribution around 7 Å and with uniform structure, has been electrochemically characterised using the single particle microelectrode technique. The carbon has been used as electrode material for supercapacitors. READ MORE

4. 2. New Electrochemical Tools to Study Exocytosis

   Author : Joakim Wigström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amperometry; QCM-D; micro electrode array; large dense core vesicles; chromaffin cells; PC-12 cells; microelectrode; exocytosis; electrochemical cytometry; electrochemical imaging; acetylcholine; endocytosis; nanoparticles; enzyme biosensor; microfabrication;

   Abstract : The work described in this thesis has the focus on the development of new analytical tools to study processes related to cellular secretion (exocytosis) in cell models. Four novel techniques were developed, allowing new ways to study processes related to exocytosis, and gain previously unattainable knowledge. READ MORE

5. 3. Functional organisation and population behaviour of human peripheral nerve fibres : a microneurography study

   Author : Gung Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : human somatosensory system; nerve organisation; peripheral nerve; cutaneous mechanoreceptors; skin innervation; microneurography; microelectrode;

   Abstract : With regard to the intraneural organisation of peripheral nerves findings obtained from previous anatomical and physiological studies appear to be controversial. The conventional concept seems to be that peripheral nerves lack a detailed topographical organisation. READ MORE

6. 4. Electrodeposition of Ag/Co and Au/Co compositionally modulated thin films and nanowire arrays

   Author : Sima Valizadeh; Per Møller; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In the past decade, electrochemical synthesis of metallic nanowires within the pores of porous membranes have attracted considerable attention because of their special optical, electronic, and magnetic properties as well as potential for nanotechnological applications. The concept of using membranes as a template for fabrication of metallic nanowires by electrodeposition is considered as an alternative solution to overcome the difficulty of fabricating fibrils with very small diameters by lithographic methods.

7. 5. Applying the Pump and Leak Hypothesis. An experimental and theoretical investigation of the principles of ion regulation and excitability in the crustacean stretch receptor neuron

   Author : Sten Theander; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; neuropsychology; lobster; stretch receptor neuron; leak current; Q-current; K-Cl cotransporter; A-current; mathematical model; excitability; GABA channel; neurophysiology; ion regulation; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurofysiologi;

   Abstract : An invertebrate nerve cell preparation, the lobster stretch receptor neuron, was investigated with respect to maintenance of its resting voltage, intracellular ion concentrations and excitability using voltage clamp technique and ion-selective microelectrodes. It was found that the resting voltage (-65 mV) of microelectrode impaled cells is caused by (a) a homogenous population of K+ channels which we denoted as leak channels (b) an electrogenic and voltage-dependent Na-K pump current and (c) an inward microelectrode-induced "impalement" current carried mainly by Na+.
