1. Controlling Weapons of Mass Destruction : An Evaluation of International Security Regime Significance
Sammanfattning : This dissertation conducts an in-depth examination of the three weapons of mass destruction control regimes: the nuclear non-proliferation regime, the biological weapons control regime, and the chemical weapons control regime (NBC weapon control regimes). By examining a number of key indicators, this study investigates the specific ways each regime makes or does not make a difference in its respective issue area. LÄS MER
2. Odontoblast phosphate and calcium transport in dentinogenesis
Sammanfattning : It has been suggested that odontoblasts are instrumental in translocating Ca2+ and inorganic phosphate (Pi) ions during the mineralization of dentin. The aim of this thesis was, therefore, to study the expression of components of the transcellular ion transport system, Na+/Ca2+ exchangers and Na+-Pi cotransporters, in odontoblastic and osteoblastic cells.

3. Diffusion in Poly(vinyl alcohol) and Polyethylene as Determined by Computational Simulations and Modeling
Sammanfattning : Poly(vinyl alcohol) and polyethylene polymer systems werebuilt in order to study their transport properties (diffusion).First a verification of the AMBER force field was conducted fora poly(vinyl alcohol) system built from a chain with 145repeating units. NPT-molecular dynamics simulations attemperatures between 400 and 527 K were performed. LÄS MER
4. The role of the epithelial cell in Escherichia coli induced neutrophil migration into the urinary tract
Sammanfattning : This study examined the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. (1) Bacterial induction of neutrophil chemotactic cytokines and their role in neutrophil migration. Uropathogenic E. LÄS MER
5. Nuclear safeguards directed to the application of multivariate analysis techniques to existing and future nuclear fuel cycles
Sammanfattning : For as long as nuclear power has existed, there has been a concern for effectively safeguarding nuclear material since it was learned that it could be misused. Early on, many nations were interested in nuclear power, and therefore there was an urgent need to verify that it was only used for civilian purposes. LÄS MER
