16. Nanoparticles : Engineering, Assembly, and Biomedical Applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with novel aspects through Nanotechnologyof"bottom-up"and"top-down"strategies in combination with Biotechnology as aninterdisciplinary study. The feasibility of chemically tailoredsuperparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) forin-vivobiomedical applications has beendemonstrated. LÄS MER
17. On Strategy and Manufacturing Flexibility
Sammanfattning : The era when customers bought what companies produced is long gone. The situation is now reversed and companies must produce what customers want; while the customers' preferences are, furthermore, becoming increasingly diverse.

19. Productivity and carbon transfer in pelagic food webs in response to carbon, nutrients and light
Sammanfattning : Some of the major problems we face today are human induced changes to the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) cycles. Predicted increases in rainfall and temperature due to climate change, may also increase dissolved organic matter (DOM) inflows to freshwater ecosystems in the boreal zone. LÄS MER
20. Semantic Framing of Speech : Emotional and Topical Cues in Perception of Poorly Specified Speech
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to test the effects of paralinguistic (emotional) and prior contextual (topical) cues on perception of poorly specified visual, auditory, and audiovisual speech. The specific purposes were to (1) examine if facially displayed emotions can facilitate speechreading performance; (2) to study the mechanism for such facilitation; (3) to map information-processing factors that are involved in processing of poorly specified speech; and (4) to present a comprehensive conceptual framework for speech perception, with specification of the signal being considered.
