The Tropospheric Aerosol - Measurements and Modelling. Case studies in Tanzania and Southeast Asia and development of models for size resolved aerosol simulations on the regional scale.
(2009-10-01)
The tropospheric aerosol is a complex constituent of the atmosphere that has impacts on health and the climate. This thesis presents five different studies from Tanzania, Southeast Asia and Europe dealing with urban ...
Laser Photodetachment of Negative Ions - Fundamental Research and Applications
(2009-05-07)
Photodetachment studies of atomic and molecular negative ions in the gas phase are presented.
Negative ions are loosely bound quantum systems whose existence is strongly dependent
on the correlations between the electrons. ...
Novel Tumor Suppressor Gene Candidates in Experimental Endometrial Carcinoma - From Cytogenetic to Molecular Analysis
(2009-08-28)
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common form of gynecological malignancy, ranking fourth in incidence among tumors diagnosed in women. As is the case with other complex diseases, detailed analyses of the underlying ...
An evolutionary view of the taxonomy and ecology of Inocybe (Agaricales) with new perspectives gleaned from GenBank metadata
(2009-04-16)
Inocybe (Inocybaceae) is one of the most speciose genera among the gilled mushrooms (Agaricales) but large parts of its taxonomy and evolutionary history remain poorly explored. The present thesis shows that the traditional ...
Studies on the gamma radiation environment in Sweden with special reference to 137Cs
(2008-09-05)
Gamma radiation in the environment today mainly originates from naturally occurring radionuclides, but anthropogenic radionuclides, such as 137Cs, contribute in some areas. In order to assess population exposure in case ...
On Toxicant-Induced Succession in Periphyton Communities: Effects of Single Chemicals and Chemical Mixtures
(2009-02-27)
This thesis deals with the effects of single chemicals and chemical mixtures on biological communities. Ecosystems are exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals, and because combination effects can occur, it is necessary ...
Fluid Migration and Brittle Tectonothermal Evolution in the Central Fennoscandian Shield - Recorded by Fracture Minerals and Wall Rock Alteration
(2009-04-16)
The Forsmark area in central Sweden has been investigated as a potential geological host for a final repository of spent nuclear fuel by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB). High quality drill core ...
Medeltida tak : bevarade takkonstruktioner i svenska medeltidskyrkor : Del 1: Rapport om kunskapsläget 2006
(Göteborgs universitet. Institutionen för kulturvård i Mariestad, 2007)
Oxidative Damage in Fish Used as Biomarkers in Field and Laboratory Studies
(2008)
Many toxic xenobiotics entering into the aquatic environment exert their effects through redox cycling. Oxidative stress, incorporating both antioxidant defences as well as oxidative damage, is a common effect in organisms ...
Formation of Skin Sensitizers from Fragrance Terpenes via Oxidative Activation Routes. Chemical analysis, Structure Elucidation and Experimental Sensitization Studies
(2009-01-08)
The work presented in this thesis emphasizes the importance of considering oxidative activation in the toxicity assessment of fragrance chemicals. Compounds without contact allergenic properties can be activated either via ...
