1. Automated feature detection in multidimensional images : a unified tensor approach
Sammanfattning : Manual identification of structures and features in multidimensional images is at best time consuming and operator dependent. Feature identification need to be accurate, repeatable and quantitative. This thesis presents a unified approach for automatic feature detection in multidimensional scalar and vector fields. LÄS MER
2. Formal and informal care in an urban and a rural elderly population : who? when? what?
Sammanfattning : This thesis explored informal and formal care in relation to physical and mental functioning in an urban and a rural setting in Sweden. Three different study populations were used: eight cohabiting couples where one of the spouses was the primary caregiver for a partner with dementia; an urban and a rural elderly population (75+ years) participating in the Kungsholmen Project in central Stockholm; or the Kungsholmen-Nordanstig Project in the county of Hälsingland.

HIV-related stigma, social concerns, and non-disclosure of HIV status are barriers to participate in PMTCT care, which potentially could be addressed by supporting women with an interactive text-messaging intervention.

5. Xylan degradation by the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus. Characterization and function of a thermostable xylanase
Sammanfattning : A gene encoding a multidomain xylanase from the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus has been cloned, sequenced and produced in Escherichia coli . The gene product was found to be a 109 kDa protein consisting of five domains. LÄS MER
