1. Energy Consumption and Running Time for Trains : modelling of running resistance and driver behaviour based on full scale testing
Abstract : The accuracy in determined energy consumption and runningtime of trains, by means of computer simulation, is dependent upon the various models used. This thesis aims at developing validated models of running resistance, train and of a generaldriver, all based on full scale testing. READ MORE

2. Impact of different interventions on cardiovascular risk factors
Abstract : Obesity and related complications such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and cardiovascular events, are a growing major health problem worldwide. Achieving a negative energy balance by increasing physical activity in combination with reduced caloric intake, is the most common approach in weight reduction strategies, something that is difficult to maintain in the long term.

3. Improved performance characteristics of induction machines with non-skewed symmetrical rotor slots
Abstract : Induction machines convert more than 55% of electrical energy into various other forms in industrial and domestic environments. Improved performance, especially by reduction of losses in induction machines hence can significantly reduce consumption of electricity. READ MORE

4. Exercise and regulation of metabolic function in human skeletal muscle : with special reference to PGC-1α and the mitochondria
Abstract : Regular physical activity is highly associated with many health benefits and regular exercise training is used in the prevention and treatment of a large number of disease conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. One of the key adaptations to regular exercise training is mitochondrial biogenesis and improved oxidative capacity, particularly in skeletal muscle tissue. READ MORE
