6. Social causality in motion : Visual bias and categorization of social interactions during the observation of chasing in infancy
Sammanfattning : Since the seminal work of Fritz Heider and Marienne Simmel (1944) the study of animacy perception, or the perception and attribution of life from the motion of simple geometrical shapes has intrigued researchers. The intrigue for psychologists and vision scientists then and today centered on the stark disconnect between the simplicity of the visual input and the universal richness of the resulting percept.

7. Sexual Conflict and Gene Expression in Drosophila melanogaster
Sammanfattning : Sexual conflict is broadly defined as a conflict between the evolutionary interests of the two sexes. Depending on the genetic architecture of the traits involved, it can occur at the level of male-female interactions or take the form of selection acting to change the mean of a shared trait against the sign of its genetic correlation.

8. New Paradigms in GPCR Drug Discovery : Structure Prediction and Design of Ligands with Tailored Properties
Sammanfattning : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large superfamily of membrane proteins with key roles in cellular signaling. Upon activation by a ligand, GPCRs transduce signals from the extracellular to the intracellular environment. LÄS MER
9. First-Principles Studies of Materials Properties : Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions & Functional Materials
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the first-principles studies of materials properties within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The thesis constitutes three main parts, i. e., pressure-induced phase transitions in solids, data-storage and clean-energy materials. LÄS MER
10. Engineering Surfaces of Solid-State Nanopores for Biomolecule Sensing
Sammanfattning : Nanopores have emerged as a special class of single-molecule analytical tool that offers immense potential for sensing and characterizing biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. As an alternative to biological nanopores, solid-state nanopores present remarkable versatility due to their wide-range tunability in pore geometry and dimension as well as their excellent mechanical robustness and stability.
