  2. 1. Numerical Study of Fluid-Structure Interaction with Application to Oscillating Cylinders

    Author : Mikhail Lazarkov; Strömningsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lock-in.; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; synchronization; flow-induced vibration; LES; Volume of Solid method; Virtual Boundary method; vortex-shedding; confined cylinder; Fluid-structure interaction; wake;

    Abstract : The problem of fluid-structure interaction, occurring in many industrial and engineering applications, are of great importance, since interaction of a flow and a structure in it can lead to serious damages of the structure. The fluid-structure interaction gives rise to a variety of different physical phenomena such as flow-induced vibration, noise generation, etc. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies in health economics

    Author : Egon Jonsson; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : During the last few decades, the Swedish public health sector has been greatly expanded. At present, about ten per cent of the gross national product goes to health care. Claims for more resources for health care are in prospect. READ MORE

  5. 3. In the right place and at the right time : cellular and functional neuroanatomy of endocannabinoids and neuropeptides

    Author : Joanne Bakker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A plethora of chemical signals, including endocannabinoids and neuropeptides, enable neuronal communication beyond the classical neurotransmitters. Many of these molecules are also expressed during (early) brain development, helping neurons to mature and neuronal circuits to take form. READ MORE

  6. 4. The ups and downs of T cells The role of costimulatory molecules in the modulation of T cell responses

    Author : Christina Olsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunologi; transplantation; serology; CD28; costimulation; CD152; IL-2; NF-kB; AP-1; superantigen; Immunology; T cell; serologi;

    Abstract : T cell activation requires the combination of antigen in the context of MHC and costimulatory molecules to induce a functional immune response. For our studies, we primarily utilized superantigens (SAg) that bind MHC class II molecules as first signal. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies of the immunopathogenesis in three arthritis models in rats

    Author : Helena Erlandsson Harris; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : experimental arthritis; inflammation; adjuvants; T-cell receptor; collagen type II; cartilage oligomeric matrix protein COMP ;

    Abstract : The immunopathogenesis of three arthritis models has been studied; oil-induced arthritis (OIA), homologous collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and COMP-induced arthritis. The induction of a monophasic arthritis, OIA, in the DA rat with a single intradermal injection of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (FIA) was reported. READ MORE
