  2. 16. Microglial Glutamate Transporters - Regulation of Expression and Possible Physiological Functions

    Author : Mikael Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : anaphylatoxin; central nervous system; herpes simplex virus; glutamate transport; glutathione; GLT-1; lipopolysaccharide; microglia; neuroinflammation; oxidative stress; protection; tumour necrosis factor-alpha;

    Abstract : Microglia are considered as the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Being the first line of defence, they have prominent roles in monitoring the homeostasis and the extracellular milieu and can rapidly and specifically react to any disturbances such as brain trauma, ischemia, neurodegenerative diseases, or infections.

  4. 17. A Cross-Cultural Approach to Psychological Mechanisms Underlying Emotional Reactions to Music

    Author : Gonçalo Barradas; Patrik Juslin; Terry Hartig; Suvi Saarikallio; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cross-cultural perspective; emotion; functions; music; mechanisms; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Music plays a crucial role in everyday life by enabling listeners to seek individual emotional experiences. To explain why such emotions occur, we must understand the underlying process that mediates between surface-level features of the music and aroused emotions. READ MORE

  5. 18. Optimization and Physical Bounds for Passive and Non-passive Systems

    Author : Yevhen Ivanenko; Sven Nordebo; Börje Nilsson; Mats Gustafsson; Mariana Dalarsson; Aaron Welters; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Convex optimization; physical bounds; Herglotz functions; quasi-Herglotz functions; passive systems; non-passive systems; approximation; absorption in lossy media; Waves; Signals and Systems; Vågor; signaler och system;

    Abstract : Physical bounds in electromagnetic field theory have been of interest for more than a decade. Considering electromagnetic structures from the system theory perspective, as systems satisfying linearity, time-invariance, causality and passivity, it is possible to characterize their transfer functions via Herglotz functions.

  6. 19. Authentication in Quantum Key Distribution : Security Proof and Universal Hash Functions

    Author : Aysajan Abidin; Jan-Åke Larsson; Viiveke Fåk; Robert Forchheimer; Joseph Merrill Renes; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secret key agreement technique that consists of two parts: quantum transmission and measurement on a quantum channel, and classical post-processing on a public communication channel. It enjoys provable unconditional security provided that the public communication channel is immutable. READ MORE

  7. 20. Regulation of cytotoxic lymphocyte effector functions

    Author : Giovanna Perinetti Casoni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Studies of patients with inborn errors of immunity provide an important opportunity to understand the human immune system in a natural context. The articles in this thesis are a compilation of such investigations. READ MORE
