1. Self Oscillations and Cooling of Carbon Based NEMS Devices
Sammanfattning : We investigate the electromechanical properties of a number of system geometries featuring a doubly clamped Carbon Nanotube or Graphene sheet with a deflection sensitive resistance and an electronic feedback in the form of a Lorentz force or an electrostatic attraction. The nanotube is subjected to a constant current- or voltage bias and it is shown that when the electro-mechanical coupling exceeds a certain critical value the system becomes unstable to self-excitations of the mechanical vibrations accompanied by oscillations in the voltage drop and current through the nanotube.

2. Hereditary Angioedema in Sweden : a National Project
Sammanfattning : Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1-inhibitor deficiency, type I and II, is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of 1/50,000. Angioedema in the larynx can be life threatening and angioedema in the abdomen and skin can give severe and disabling pain. Data on patients with HAE in Sweden were scarce before our study. LÄS MER
3. Phagocytosis by neutrophils - studies on phagosome dynamics and membrane traffic modulation by Streptococcus pyogenes
Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are our most numerous and deadly white blood cells and without them we would succumb quickly to infections by pathogens. The main mechanism that the neutrophils employ for our protection is phagocytosis, where they eat and enclose their target inside a membrane-bound organelle, the phagosome. LÄS MER
4. Galectin-8 specificity to cells: from broad outside to fine inside
Sammanfattning : Glycobiology is the world of sugars: how they are made, what they look like, and what they do. Despite the importance of glycan structures in life, knowledge has been hampered due to their inherent complexity. LÄS MER
5. Mental health : a philosophical analysis
Sammanfattning : The present dissertation is an attempt to analyze, philosophically, the notion of "positive mental health". In doing so the author presents a number of suggestions found in the literature. The discussion of these suggestions leads to a number of general conclusions. LÄS MER
