  2. 6. Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : studies of genetic factors modifying the phenotype of the disease

    Author : Malin Olsson; Ole B Suhr; Lisbeth Tranebjærg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Familial amyloid polyneuropathy; Amyloidosis; Transthyretin; Allele Frequency; Mitochondria; parent-of-origin; MicroRNA; Single Nucleotide Polymorphism; 3 Untranslated Regions genetics; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; genetik; Genetics; klinisk genetik; Clinical Genetics; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Background. Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited systemic amyloid disease. The disease is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, where close to 100 different amyloidogenic mutations have been identified. READ MORE

  4. 7. Fetal programming and parent-of-origin effects of type 2 diabetes and insulin secretion

    Author : Gad Hatem; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type 2 Diabetes; fetal programming; parent-of-origin effects; transcriptopmics;

    Abstract : Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous and a complex disease defined by hyperglycemia. Thepancreas and its islets are central for glucose homeostasis and healthy adipose tissue. In turn, lipid levels in the bloodare crucial for glucose level stability. READ MORE

  5. 8. Toughness Enhancement in Hard Single-Crystal Transition-Metal Nitrides : V-Mo-N and V-W-N Alloys

    Author : Hanna Kindlund; Lars Hultman; Jens Birch; Daniel Gall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transition-metal nitrides are known for their high hardness, good wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and chemical inertness. Because of these properties, they are extensively used in many industrial applications, notably as protective wear, erosion, and scratch resistant coatings, which are often subjected to high thermo-mechanical stresses.

  6. 9. On the Ecology and Evolution of seed and Bud Dormancy

    Author : Patric Nilsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bet-hedging; overcompensation; herbivory; plant compensatory growth; bud dormancy; endosperm; seed provisioning; Seed dormancy; parent-offspring conflicts; Ecology; Ekologi; Botany; Botanik;

    Abstract : This thesis considers the ecological and evolutionary significance of seed and bud dormancy. First, I present theoretical support to the idea that seed dormancy may evolve as a strategy to reduce sib competition in temporally homogeneous environments. READ MORE

  7. 10. Attosecond Wave Packet Metrology

    Author : Marko Swoboda; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular dissociation; Electron wave packets; Pulse characterization; Two-color harmonic generation; Attosecond pulse trains; Single attosecond pulses; Resonant two-photon ionization; Fysicumarkivet A:2010:Swoboda;

    Abstract : Attosecond pulses allow the study of electrons on their natural timescale. They are created from the interaction of atoms with ultrashort, intense laser pulses whose electric field approaches the strength of inner-atomic electric fields. This thesis presents experiments around the generation, characterization and application of attosecond pulses. READ MORE
