  2. 1. A Solution Exchange Platform for Exposure of Cells to Chemical Waves

    Author : Jessica Olofsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; waveform synthesis; solution exchange; cell signalling; patch clamp; receptor; high through-put; microfluidics; microfabrication; channel; chemical oscillations; ion channel; poly dimethylsiloxane ; drug discovery;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the development, characterization and suggested applications of a platform for controlling the chemical environment around a cell or a cell constituent. The platform is unique in its capability to combine rapid solution switching with precise timing and access to a manifold of solution environments. READ MORE

  4. 2. Achieving reliable networking for the generic autonomous platform for sensor systems : (GAP4S)

    Author : Paolo Monti; Andrea Fumagalli; Marco Tacca; The University Of Texas At Dallas; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Networks of wireless integrated sensors are often used to monitorparameters distributed in the environment. These parameters arerelated to a variety of applications such as security, patientmonitoring, chemical and biological hazard detection. Some solutionsrely on replaceable batteries with a limited life-time to providelong-term sensor operation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Computational Studies of Electron Transport in Nanoscale Devices

    Author : Henrik Löfås; Rajeev Ahuja; Jan Isberg; Fabian Pauly; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Molecular electronics; Organosilicon chemistry; Diamond; Molecular switches; Nanoelectrode bridge platform; Molecular cords; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a combination of density functional theory (DFT) based calculations and nonequilibrium Green’s functions are employed to investigate electron transport in molecular switches, molecular cords and nanoscale devices.  Molecular electronic devices have been proposed as an approach to complement today’s silicon based electronic devices.

  6. 4. Mechanisms for pneumococcal meningitis and a new vaccine platform to raise a serotype-independent protection in the host

    Author : Sigrun Thorsdottir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a highly relevant pathogenic bacterium, responsible for a large fraction of deaths and disease morbidity in the world. The pneumococcus remains the leading cause of life-threatening pneumonia, septicemia and meningitis beyond neonatal age, despite global implementation of vaccination programs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fabrication, functionalization and electrical conductance modulation of nanoparticle based molecular electronic Nano-devices

    Author : Ishtiaq Hassan Wani; KLAUS LEIFER; Silvia Karthäuser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular electronics; gas sensor; hybrid materials; place exchange; random telegraph signal;

    Abstract : Over the years many techniques have been proposed for the purpose of the formation of electrically conducting metal-molecule-metal junctions. One such technique utilizes gold-nanoparticles (AuNPs) that could assist in contacting small molecules between large gaps. READ MORE
