1. In silico Identification of Thyroid Disrupting Chemicals : among industrial chemicals and household dust contaminants
Sammanfattning : Thyroid disruptions by xenobiotics have been associated with a broad spectrum of severe adverse human health effects, such as impaired brain development and metabolic syndrome. Ingestion of indoor dust and contact with industrial chemicals are two significant human exposure routes of thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals (THDCs), raising serious concerns for human health.

2. Influence of MHC class I peptide interaction on antigen presentation in normal and malignant cells
Sammanfattning : The presentation of MHC class I peptide complexes in normal and malignant cells was studied. An HLA A11 binding motif was defined by comparing synthetic peptide analogues of a known cytotoxic T Iymphocyte (CTL) target epitope for induction of surface A11 expression and triggering of cytotoxic activity.

3. Regulation of Intracellular Calcium in Brown Adipocytes
Sammanfattning : Intracellular Ca2+ is considered a primary regulator of cell function. In the present study, the control and the effects of intracellular Ca2+ in brown adipocytes have been investigated. Cytosolic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) are the resultant of the activity of Ca2+ transport systems. LÄS MER
4. Organic electronic devices for solar energy conversion and storage
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on two types of organic electronic devices: organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices for solar energy conversion, and photo-capacitors for energy storage.OPVs have been under the focus of research for decades as an effective technique to convert solar energy to electricity.

5. Distribution Network Planning Considering Capacity Mechanisms and Flexibility
Sammanfattning : The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) has posed challenges to the distribution system operator (DSO) from the operation and regulatory point of view. High penetration of DERs could have negative impacts on the performance of the distribution grid, and depending on the regulatory framework, the DSO's remuneration as well. LÄS MER
