1. 6. Neurofilaments as biomarkers of neuronal damage

   Författare :Fani Pujol-Calderón; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurofilaments; biomarker; neurodegenerative disease; stroke;

   Sammanfattning : Different neurodegenerative diseases have overlapping symptomatology and pathology and have thus become a challenge to modern medicine to achieve a correct diagnosis. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the use of neurofilaments as biomarkers of neuronal damage by testing their ability to discriminate between different neurodegenerative diseases as well as assessing whether higher neurofilments predict a poorer clinical outcome in ischemic stroke.

3. 7. Interaction of Hurricanes and Natural Coastal Features: Implications for Storm Damage Reduction

   Författare :Ty Wamsley; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Louisiana; Barrier island; Vegetation; Flooding; Waves; Storm surge; Hurricanes; Mathematical modeling; Storm damage reduction;

   Sammanfattning : It is generally acknowledged that wetlands and barrier islands can reduce surge and waves. However, while a general qualitative understanding of these interactions is available in the scientific literature, quantification of these interactions is lacking and has previously been based on limited data of relatively poor quality.

4. 8. On the quantification of healing in asphalt materials

   Författare :Remya Varma; Nicole Kringos; Romain Balieu; Lily Poulikakos; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Healing; bitumen; mastic; viscoelastic strain; viscoplastic strain; fracture; creep and recovery; Läkning; bitumen; mastic; viskoelastisk töjning; viskoplastisk töjning; brott; kryp and återhämtning; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

   Sammanfattning : Asphalt materials exhibit self-healing characteristics. In order to evaluate the healing capabilities of these materials, numerous investigations are carried out by researchers. These investigations include various definitions of healing and mechanical test methods to quantify the extent of healing. LÄS MER

5. 9. Studies of molecular features and novel prognostic biomarkers of cutaneous melanoma

   Författare :Iva Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; primary cutaneous melanoma; chronic sun-damage; chronic sun-damage skin; gene expression profiling; immunohistochemistry; tertiary lymphoid structures;

   Sammanfattning : Cutaneous malignant melanoma is a highly heterogeneous disease. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of stage IV disease and is now successfully administered as adjuvant treatment in stage III and soon in stage II. Correct identification of the patients at high risk for progressive disease who will benefit from the treatment is crucial. LÄS MER

7. 10. Risk Assessment of Groundwater Drawdown in Subsidence Sensitive Areas

   Författare :Jonas Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; inverse modelling; cost-benefit analysis; probabilistic; groundwater drawdown; urban hydrogeology; economic valuation; groundwater leakage; subsidence; value of information analysis.; spatial variability; uncertainty quantification; risk assessment;

   Sammanfattning : Groundwater leakage into sub-surface constructions can result in drawdown, subsidence in compressible materials, and costly damage to buildings and installations. When planning for sub-surface constructions where there is a risk for land subsidence due to groundwater drawdown, the need for safety measures must be carefully evaluated and managed. LÄS MER
