1. Antibiotic sensitivity and horizontal gene transfer in Escherichia coli - A genome-wide perspective
Sammanfattning : Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have truly revolutionized human medicine. They have allowed us to treat diseases that were previously untreatable and have become a staple of modern medicine. However, along with the human use of antibiotics pathogens resistant to antibiotics emerged. LÄS MER
2. Early Environment, Adolescent Alcohol Drinking and Neurobiological Responses to Drugs
Sammanfattning : Genes and environment interact to determine an individual’s vulnerability or resilience to several psychiatric disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). Alcohol use is often initiated during adolescence and early onset drinking is associated with increased risk for later AUD. LÄS MER
3. Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Single Vertical Channels of Small Diameter
Sammanfattning : Microchannel heat exchangers present many advantages, such as reduced size, high thermal efficiency and low fluid inventory; and are increasingly being used for heat transfer in a wide variety of applications including heat pumps, automotive air conditioners and for cooling of electronics.However, the fundamentals of fluid flow and heat transfer in microscalegeometries are not yet fully understood.

4. MAKING TRADE-OFFS IN THE GREENHOUSE: Relative Price Changes, Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases and Tropical Deforestation in Climate Policy
Sammanfattning : This thesis, consisting of five separate papers, is an inquiry into climate policy and the trade-offs that have to be made when formulating such policy. It covers three major topics: (1) the economics of choosing a climate policy target; (2) the economic merits of the Global Warming Potentials (GWPs), the metric governing the trade-off between abatement of different greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the current climate regime; and (3) the promises and challenges with including the GHG emissions from tropical deforestation in a future climate regime.

5. On the optimal use of industrial-generated biomass residues for polygeneration
Sammanfattning : Increasing energy demand as well as climate change concerns call for an analysis and optimization of energy services. Efficient use of energy resources, mitigation of environmental effects and supply an increasing demand are just some of the issues that are relevant nowadays in the energy system. LÄS MER
