  1. 21. Icodextrin metabolism in peritoneal dialysis : clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Elvia Garcia Lopez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Icodextrin is a glucose polymer which is used as osmotic agent to provide sustained ultrafiltration (UF) during the long (8-16 hours) dwell in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The aims of this thesis were to study: the metabolism of icodextrin in the peritoneal cavity and in the circulation of PD patients and non-uremic rats, the role of alpha-amylase in its hydrolysis, and the rate of breakdown of a synthetic maltoheptaose (G7) ex vivo which we propose as a novel measure of amylase mediated oligosaccharide metabolism.

  3. 22. Magnetic Thin Films with Graded and Tilted Anisotropy for Spintronic Devices

    Författare :Yeyu Fang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis magnetic thin films with graded or tilted anisotropy are intensively studied for potential applications in spintronic devices. A continuum of stable remanent resistance states is realized in Co/Pd multilayers based on a perpendicularly magnetized pseudo spin valve (PSV). LÄS MER

  4. 23. Ultrasound Doppler Based In-Line Rheometry - Development, Validation and Application

    Författare :Johan Wiklund; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknik; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; Technological sciences; non-Newtonian; Chemistry; Kemi; process control; In-line rheometry; Doppler; process monitoring; ultrasound;

    Sammanfattning : The trend within fluid industry is towards continuous production, leading to an increasing demand for new and improved methods that allow real-time monitoring of quality parameters and fast process control. The consistency and viscosity can be described by fluid rheology and are frequently used as quality control parameters. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Fear of falling, falls and near falls in Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Beata Lindholm; Klinisk minnesforskning; []
    Nyckelord :Parkinson’s disease; Fear of falling; Self-Efficacy; Falls; Near falls; Walking; Balance; Prediction; Validation studies; Rehabilitation; Prevention;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACTAIM: The overall aim of this longitudinal PhD project was to gain increased knowledge about factors associated with fear of falling (FOF) falls and near falls, as well as to contribute to improved clinical fall prediction for peoplewith mild Parkinson’s disease (PD).METHODS: People diagnosed with PD and receiving care at the university hospital outpatient neurology clinic were assessed during the “on” phase using a broad range of rating scales and clinical tests targeting balance and gait problems as well as motor and non-motor symptoms.

  7. 25. Towards Controlled Growth and Applications of Carbon Nanotubes

    Författare :Raluca Elena Morjan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acetylene; carbon nanotubes; carbon feedstock; chemical vapor deposition; fullerenes; dc-glow discharge plasma; growth mechanism; metal catalyst;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with growth, characterization and application of carbon nanotubes. The methods involved in the production of carbon nanotubes are thermal chemical vapor deposition (T-CVD) and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). LÄS MER
