2. 11. Cell signaling and regulation of smooth muscle contraction from a physiological and a pathophysiological perspective

   Author : Lena Boberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to examine the cell signaling and regulation of smooth muscle in different smooth muscle tissues and under pathophysiological conditions. The thesis is based on 4 papers and the experimental work is based on in vitro studies in mouse. READ MORE

4. 12. Studies of the rotating-disk boundary-layer flow

   Author : Shintaro Imayama; Henrik Alfredsson; Rebecca Lingwood; Peter Thomas; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fluid mechanics; laminar-turbulent transition; convective instability; absolute instability; secondary instability; hot-wire anemometry; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : The rotating-disk boundary layer is not only a simpler model for the study of cross-flow instability than swept-wing boundary layers but also a useful simplification of many industrial-flow applications where rotating configurations are present. For the rotating disk, it has been suggested that a local absolute instability, leading to a global instability, is responsible for the small variation in the observed laminar-turbulent transition Reynolds number however the exact nature of the transition is still not fully understood.

5. 13. Extracellular matrix-mediated signaling in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype and function

   Author : Joy Roy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the world. Even though death rates are today dropping in the developed countries, disability due to the disease is rising worldwide. The major portion of cardiovascular disease associated deaths is due to occlusive atherosclerotic lesions. READ MORE

6. 14. Essays on nonlinear time series modelling och hypothesis testing

   Author : Birgit Strikholm; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : There seems to be a common understanding nowadays that the economy is nonlinear. Economic theory suggests features that can not be incorporated into linear frameworks, and over the decades a solid body of empirical evidence of nonlinearities in economic time series has been gathered.

7. 15. A new non-linear GARCH model

   Author : Gustaf E. Hagerud; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This dissertation contains four papers in the field of financial econometrics. In the first paper, A Smooth Transition ARCH Model for Asset Returns, a new class of ARCH models is introduced. The model class allows for non-linearity in the equation for the conditional variance.
