6. Adsorption at the Solid-Liquid Interface: An Atomic Force Microscopy Study
Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate nature of adsorption of amphiphiles to the solid–liquid interface. The surface aggregate structures of the zwitterionic surfactant dodecyldimethylammoniopropanesulfonate, (DDAPS) and a series of nonionic polyoxyethlylene glycol alkyl ethers (C10E5, C12E5, C12E8, C10E6, C14E6 and C16E6) have been determined by Atomic Force Microscopy on solids of different hydrophobicity.

7. Obesity and stigma : studies on children, adults and health care professionals
Sammanfattning : Obesity may not only pose a threat to an individual's physical health but may also have socioeconomic and psychosocial consequences. Stigma is assumed to be a common experience among individuals with obesity and is also suggested to be one of the major contributors to health disparities. LÄS MER
8. Bioprocessing of Recalcitrant Substrates for Biogas Production
Sammanfattning : The application of anaerobic digestion (AD) as a sustainable waste management technology is growing worldwide, due to high energy prices as well as increasingly strict environmental regulations. The growth of the AD industry necessitates exploring new substrates for their utilisation in AD processes. LÄS MER
9. On the evolutionary origin of the vertebrate cortex
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to dissect out the minimalistic ancestral neural hardware, which has been conserved in homologue structures of the cerebral cortex and in particular the neocortex, across vertebrates. For this purpose, we utilise the lamprey - a cyclostome (jawless vertebrate), and we compare its anatomical homologue of cortex, the lateral pallium (LPal), in terms of its connectivity, cytoarchitecture and sensory organisation with that of the mammalian neocortex.

10. NK cell and dendritic cell interactions in innate immune responses
Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic cells of the innate immune system. They have been found to be critical in the defense against infections and also against some tumors. Recent studies have shown that NK cells require signals from accessory cells to induce their recruitment and activation at the site of infection or tumor growth. LÄS MER
