1. Microbial Ecosystem Functions Along the Steep Oxygen Gradient of the Landsort Deep, Baltic Sea
Abstract : Through complex metabolic interactions aquatic microbial life is essential as a driver of ecosystem functions and hence a prerequisite for sustaining plant and animal life in the sea and on Earth. Despite its ecological importance, information on the complexity of microbial functions and how these are related to environmental conditions is limited. READ MORE

2. Air-sea exchange of O2 and CO2 : Processes controlling the transfer efficiency
Abstract : World oceans cover more than 70% of the earth surface and constitutes a major sink of atmospheric CO2. Two of the most important gases in the marine carbon cycling are O2 and CO2 and hence accurate descriptions of the air-sea gas exchange of these gases are crucial. READ MORE

3. Effects of reactive oxygen species on the cellular vacuolar apparatus
Abstract : Reactive and potentially harmful oxygen species occur, and are continuously formed, in all cells of a living organism. Increased production of these metabolites are seen in a number of pathological states, for instance in inflammatory foci or during reoxygenation of ischemic tissue. READ MORE

4. Edible and Biodegradable Whey Protein Films as Barriers in Foods and Food Packaging
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the characterization of whey protein films. The films were cast from heated aqueous solutions and dried in a climate room at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity for 16 h. The microstructure of the films was found to be dependent on the protein concentration, the plasticizers, and the pH. READ MORE

5. Atom Probe Field Ion Microscopy of Surface Zones, Coatings and Interfaces
Abstract : This thesis is focused on developingmethods for high resolution microanalysis of coatings on a substrate, andsurface zones of a bulk sample using atom probe field ion microscopy,APFIM. The APFIM technique is described and some examples of its applications to semiconductors,cemented carbides and intermetallic compounds are given. READ MORE
