1. Coherent Plasmon-Plasmon and Plasmon-Exciton Interactions at the Nanoscale
Sammanfattning : Noble metallic nanoparticles which supports localized surface plasmon resonances, offers a variety of potential scientific as well as industrial applications. Due to a remarkable ability to confine light at nanoscale dimensions, far below the optical diffraction limit, together with an ability to detect minute changes in the local environment plasmonic nanoparticles have paved routes towards several new and intriguing techniques, promising for future applications in areas such as molecular sensing and quantum optics.

2. Thermal physics of asteroids
Sammanfattning : The thermal infrared and microwave emission from asteroids have many applications. Fundamental physical properties can be investigated, which have implications for the geophysical evolution of the asteroids, and the early history of the solar system.A new thermophysical model of asteroids is presented.

3. Sulphur Regulations for Shipping – Why a Regional Approach?: Scientific and Economic Arguments in IMO Documents 1988-1997
Sammanfattning : Some environmental issues for shipping are regulated globally with uniform standards and others with stricter regulations in specific areas. This thesis aims to provide an understanding of why a regional approach was chosen with SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs) as the main form of control of sulphur oxide emissions from international shipping, with explanations based on documents from negotiations within the International Maritime Organization (IMO) during 1988-1997.

4. Harnessing the molecular Trojan horse : Evaluating properties of preclinical Aβ immunoPET radioligands for optimized brain delivery via the transferrin receptor
Sammanfattning : With high specificity and selectivity to targets, antibodies are prime candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands. They do not passively cross the blood-brain barrier which has hindered their development for imaging intrabrain targets, like amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer’s disease. LÄS MER
5. Essays on Productive Efficiency, Shadow Prices, and Human Capital
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five papers, four of them basically concerning environmental issues, while the fifth paper addresses the issue of measuring output from the educational sector. The first paper starts from the fact that industrial activity causes environmental damage. LÄS MER
