1. Effect of Physical Weathering on Mechanical Properties of Tailings
Sammanfattning : The mining activity produces minerals to supply to the modern society with commodities. During the ore refining process large amounts of tailings are generated as waste. Tailings are the result of crushing and wet milling, typically in the size range of sand to silt and angular in shape. LÄS MER
2. Importance of the particle shape on mechanical properties of soil materials
Sammanfattning : Particle shape of soil aggregates is known to influence several engineering properties; such as the internal friction angle, the permeability, etc. Even if this is known, there has been only minor progress in explaining the processes behind its performance and has only partly implemented in practical geotechnical analysis.

3. Novel cerebrospinal fluid and blood tau biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
Sammanfattning : Tau is a protein predominantly expressed in neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), where it binds microtubules (MT), playing a major role regulating their dynamics and architecture. Under pathological conditions, tau detaches from MTs, leading to neuronal dysfunction and cell death. LÄS MER
4. Targeting apoptosis-inducing factor as a novel therapeutic strategy for preventing perinatal brain injury
Sammanfattning : Perinatal complications such as asphyxia can cause brain injuries that are often associated with subsequent neurological deficits. The mechanisms of perinatal brain injury are not fully understood, but mitochondria play a prominent role, not only due to their central function in metabolism, but also because many proteins with apoptosisrelated functions are located in the mitochondrion.

5. Microbial Synthetic Biology, Systems Metabolic Engineering and Enzyme Engineering for Advanced Microbial Biodiesel Production with Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : The continuous requirement of transportation biofuels has brought the necessity to establish alternatives permitting low-cost production of biodiesel while being environmentally friendly. Biodiesel production was achieved utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae by employing respective enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) based on fatty acyl-CoA molecules and ethanol.
