New insights in contact allergy and drug delivery. A study of formulation effects and hapten targets in skin using two-photon fluorescence microscopy
(2011-11-08)
The skin is a remarkable barrier, protecting us from invasion of e.g. harmful microorganisms and UV-radiation. However, the skin is not adopted to resist repeated exposure to the multitude of xenobiotics introduced into ...
Seals and fisheries: a study of the conflict and some possible solutions
(2011-04-08)
Interaction between seals and fisheries along the Swedish coast has serious environmental and economic consequences. This thesis describes the conflict as it affects four different small-scale coastal fisheries; the eel ...
Conformational Dynamics of Rhodopsins Visualized by Time-resolved Wide Angle X-ray Scattering
(2011-10-27)
Rhodopsins are a family of light-sensitive proteins found in the cellular membranes of a
wide range of living organisms. These membrane proteins share a common molecular
architecture and are able to use light energy ...
The Carbon Dioxide System in the Baltic Sea Surface Waters
(2011-05-26)
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is steadily increasing because of human activities such as fossil fuel burning. To understand how this is affecting the planet, several pieces of knowledge of the ...
Homochiral Crystals for Selective Synthesis
(2011-04-13)
Six new coordination compounds were prepared from monodentate sulfide
ligands and copper(I) halides and their crystal structures were determined
by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The aim was to prepare coordination
polymers ...
Instruments for reaching climate objectives. Focusing on the time aspects of bioenergy and allocation rules in the European Union's Emission Trading System
(2011-09-29)
The Europeans Union’s (EU’s) climate and energy strategy aims at reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 20 % (compared to 1990) and to increase the share of renewable energy to 20 % by the year 2020. Increased ...
Spatial distribution and conservation planning of seabed biological diversity
(2011-11-18)
Knowledge of spatial patterns of biota has become a commodity for conservation practitioners and spatial ecologists alike. This type of information enables the identification of representative and unique biological features ...
The Mesoproterozoic Hallandian event - a region-scale orogenic event in the Fennoscandian Shield
(2011-05-19)
The Sveconorwegian Province occupies the southwestern part of the Fennoscandian Shield. The easternmost tectonic unit of the Province is the 1710-1660 Ma parautochthonous Eastern Segment, which bears the imprint of at least ...
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 ...
Regulation of electron donation to photosystem 1
(2011-05-09)
Photosynthesis is the process where energy from light is used to catalyze the formation of energy-rich molecules such as NADPH and ATP. These reactions are in fact the result of a long series of electron-transfer reactions ...
