1. Topics in polynomial sequences defined by linear recurrences
Sammanfattning : This licentiate consists of two papers treating polynomial sequences defined by linear recurrences.In paper I, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the reality of all the zeros in a polynomial sequence {P_i} generated by a three-term recurrence relation P_i(x)+ Q_1(x)P_{i-1}(x) +Q_2(x) P_{i-2}(x)=0 with the standard initial conditions P_{0}(x)=1, P_{-1}(x)=0, where Q_1(x) and Q_2(x) are arbitrary real polynomials.

2. Digital Geometry, Combinatorics, and Discrete Optimization
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two parts: digital geometry and discrete optimization. In the first part we study the structure of digital straight line segments. We also study digital curves from a combinatorial point of view. LÄS MER
3. Mitochondrial function adaptations to changed metabolic conditions
Sammanfattning : The skeletal muscle mitochondria play a decisive role for the metabolic capacity of the body. A capability to adapt to changed metabolic conditions and energy demands is crucial for weight control and physical exercise. LÄS MER
4. Annular dynamics of the human heart : novel echocardiographic approaches to assess ventricular function
Sammanfattning : The complex myocardial fiber architecture of the left ventricle (LV) enables long-axis motion (annular excursion), short-axis motion and also a small torsional deformation throughout the cardiac cycle. The contribution of the long-axis motion has proven to be important in generating ventricular filling and emptying, and the analysis of annular excursion has become a well established diagnostic tool for the assessment of ventricular function.

5. Effects of Ageing and Physical Activity on Regulation of Muscle Contraction
Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms underlying (1) the ageing-related motor handicap at the whole muscle, cellular, contractile protein and myonuclear levels; and (2) ageing-related differences in muscle adaptability.In vivo muscles function was studied in the knee extensors.
