Airborne particulate matter in a Sub-Saharan Africa city: Nairobi, Kenya, and at an Equatorial high altitude site: Mount Kenya
(2017-09-13)In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), air quality is gravely understudied despite the existing influential factors such a rapid urbanization and population growth that negatively affect the environment. Majority of urban areas in ... -
Algorithms and Interaction Potentials: phase density, surface tension and carbon dioxide
(2012-12-14)This thesis is an amalgamation of articles (Papers I–V) by the author. We present a perturbation algorithm to calculate the phase density, and thus the partition function including its temperature dependence. It works ... -
Algorithms for analysis of NMR projections: Design, implementation and applications
(2011-03-29)With an increasing rate of protein expressions the need for fast protein characterization has become more important. Protein NMR has long been an important contributor for protein characterization; being one of a few ... -
Alien Fish Species in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: Invasion Biology in Coastal Ecosystems
(2011-04-25)The spread of non-indigenous species (NIS) in the eastern Mediterranean Sea is an ongoing and accelerating process. Non-indigenous species are regularly reported from various coastal habitats in the eastern Mediterranean ... -
Alkali Metals and Tar in Biomass Thermochemical Conversion: Development and Application of Online Measurement Techniques
(2018-02-08)Biomass is a renewable resource that can substitute the fossil-based products we depend on today. However, the conversion techniques require further improvement in order to be competitive with the traditional industry. One ... -
Alkali Release and Effects on Biomass Thermal Conversion Processes
(2022-09-19)High alkali content is an important feature of biomass, and it has a series of implications for thermal conversion processes. This thesis focuses on the release of alkali during various biomass thermal conversion processes, ... -
Alkali Uptake and Release from Oxygen Carriers in Chemical Looping Applications: Development and Application of Reactor Systems and Measurement Techniques
(2023-10-31)Chemical looping combustion (CLC) of biomass is a heat and power generation technology with minimal associated costs for carbon capture, potentially resulting in negative CO2 emissions. The CLC technology utilizes fluidized ... -
Alkali-containing aerosol particles-release during biomass combustion and ambient air concentrations
(2009-01-22)Air pollution in the form of particles has considerable influence on human health and climate. Atmospheric aerosol particles arise from direct emissions of particles and from the conversion of certain gases to particles ... -

Allergenic Oxidation Products from Fragrance Terpenes. Chemical Analysis and Determination of Sensitizing Potency
(2013-09-05)The ubiquitous presence of fragrance compounds in consumer products has resulted in a high frequency of contact allergy to fragrances in the population. For prevention purposes and according to EU regulations, cosmetics ... -
Allometry and ecomorphology of Scandinavian raptors
(2006)Ända sedan Charles Darwin observerade de berömda finkarna på Galapagosöarna har zoologer arbetat med att försöka förstå hur olika arters form och funktion (functional morphology) kan förstås i ljuset av deras livsstil ... -
Ample Rare Elements: A Geochemical Anomaly in the Earth's Crust at Norra Kärr
(2021-11-18)The Norra Kärr alkaline complex in southern Sweden (58°06’N, 14°34’E) is a classic occurrence of agpaitic rocks, which contains a large mineral deposit of rare-earth elements (REE), Zr, and Nb. The complex consists of ... -
Analyses of Rat Tumor Models for DMBA-induced Fibrosarcoma and Spontaneous Endometrial Carcinoma
(2008-10-20)Cancer is a disease of genes. Uncontrolled cell growth is the outcome from genetic as well as epigenetic alterations, resulting in a tumor cell mass that harbors a cancer genome. During progression, the tumor acquires ... -
Analysis of phospholipids in cellular membranes with LC and imaging mass spectrometry
(2011-05-20)Imaging mass spectrometry enables the creation of molecule specific images from the surface of a solid sample in vacuum. To solve the issue of bringing single cells into vacuum without altering their native distribution ... -
Analytical Approaches to Study Vesicular and Exosomal Release
(2024-02-09)Vesicles, as a special type of entity nanometers in size, are crucial for survival of multicellular organisms. Intracellular vesicles mainly contain specific signaling molecules, transmitters, and modulators whereas ... -
Angular dynamics of small particles in fluids
(2015-11-20)This thesis concerns the angular motion of small particles suspended in fluid flows. A small particle experiences a hydrodynamic torque due to the local fluid velocity, and this torque leads to rotational motion. When ... -
Anti-Virulence Strategy Targeting Sortase A, A Structural Investigation of the Sortase A Enzyme, and the Identification, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Sortase A Inhibitors
(2019-09-20)The emergence of multi-resistant bacteria and their continuous spread is one of the greatest challenges when treating bacterial infections. Increased understanding of bacterial pathogenesis has revealed new strategies for ... -
Antibiotic sensitivity and horizontal gene transfer in Escherichia coli - A genome-wide perspective
(2022-11-01)Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have truly revolutionized human medicine. They have allowed us to treat diseases that were previously untreatable and have become a staple of modern medicine. ... -
