1. 11. Functionalized Biomaterial Surfaces by Micro- and Nanofabrication

   Författare :Sarunas Petronis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanofabrication; surface characterization; surface topography; surface chemical composition; marine biofouling; force-sensing substrates; microfabrication; surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy; cell-surface interaction; biointerfaces; biomaterials;

   Sammanfattning : In the field of biomaterials, well-defined nano- and micropatterns or features at material surfaces can serve both as models for investigating material-biosystem interactions and as functional features for inducing, hindering or measuring specific bioreactions or biologic responses. Important bioreactions include protein adsorption and conformation, cell attachment and function, and adhesion and function of organized tissues or whole organisms. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : To reduce both carbon emission and fossil fuel consumption, there is a pressing need for the exploitation of renewable sources of energy such as biomass, hydropower, solar power, waves, and wind. This thesis addresses the application of wave energy, which has a large potential to contribute to the world’s renewable emission-free energy supply. LÄS MER

5. 14. Larval behaviour of the barnacle BALANUS IMPROVISUS with implications for recruitment and biofouling control

7. 15. Flow effects on settlement and recruitment in the barnacle BALANS IMPROVISUS with applications for biofouling control

   Författare :Ann I. Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : An understanding of the processes causing patterns of organism distributions in time and space is fundamental in ecology. For sessile marine invertebrates, water motion is an important predictor of distribution patterns, affecting organisms all the way from dispersal to post-settlement recruitment. LÄS MER
