    Sammanfattning : Background: Great strides have been made in combating malaria, however, the indicators in sub Saharan Africa still do not show promise for elimination in the near future as malaria infections still result in high morbidity and mortality among children. The abundance of the malaria-transmitting mosquito vectors in these regions are driven by climate suitability. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Use of novel statistical methods in assessing particulate air pollution and evaluating its association with mortality in China

    Sammanfattning : Particle matter (PM) has been associated with numerous adverse health effects including cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer in experimental studies and observation studies. The close and quantitative relationship between exposure to high concentrations of coarse particles (PM10) and fine particles (PM2. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Methodological studies on non-linear mixed effects model building

    Författare :E. Niclas Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Population analysis of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data by the use of non-linear mixed effects modeling offers a number of benefits over traditional methods of analyzing this type of data. These benefits include the possibility to appropriately characterize the typical PK/PD behaviour in the population as well as the associated variability when only a few observations are available for each individual.

  5. 4. Nuclear Structure Studies near 208Pb and γ-ray Imaging Techniques

    Författare :Natasa Lalovic; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nuclear structure; gamma-Ray spectroscopy; AGATA; isomeric decays; relativistic projectile fragmentation; Pb isotopes; nuclear structure; gamma-ray spectroscopy; AGATA; isomeric decays; relativistic projectile fragmentation; Pb isotopes;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on a high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy experiment where the fragmenta- tion of a 208 Pb primary beam was used to populate even-mass nuclei around 208 Pb. It was conducted in 2012 using the Advanced GAmma-ray Tracking Array (AGATA) while it was placed at GSI Darmstadt, Germany. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immunochemical characterisation of Brucella LPS and its relation to virulence

    Författare :Enrique Freer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Brucella abortus Brucella ovis Bacterial lipopolysaccharide LPS : LPS heterogeneity Virulence factors Cationic peptides.;

    Sammanfattning : Members of the genus Brucella are facultative intracellular pathogens which infect and produce disease in a wide variety of mammals. Although some factors have been implicated in the virulence of Brucella, the virulence mechanisms of this intracellular pathogen are not known. LÄS MER
