1. 16. Modeling lichen performance in relation to climate : scaling from thalli to landscapes

   Författare :Anna V Jonsson Čabrajić; Kristin Palmqvist; Jon Moen; Per-Anders Esseen; Mikaell Ottosson-Löfvenius; Göran Ågren; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lichen; growth; model; micro-climate; hydration; activation; photosynthesis; respiration; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestisk ekologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

   Sammanfattning : Lichens can colonize nearly all terrestrial habitats on earth and are functionally important in many ecosystems. Being poikilohydric, their active growth periods are restricted to periods when the thallus is hydrated from atmospheric water sources, such as rain, fog and high relative humidity. LÄS MER

3. 17. Environmentally Responsive Surface Coatings of Polyion-Surfactant Ion Complex Salts

   Författare :Charlotte Gustavsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer; polyelectrolyte; surfactant; complex salt; surface coatings; phase behaviour; responsivness; hydration; SAXS; water-insoluble; solutes; liquid crystalline structures;

   Sammanfattning : Complexes formed between oppositely charged polyions and surfactant ions are known to have very rich phase behaviour in bulk solution. The work in this thesis investigates the possibilites of using such complexes as surface coatings. LÄS MER

4. 18. Analysis of NMR Spin-lattice Relaxation Dispersion on Complex Systems

   Författare :Yang Huang; Per-Olof Westlund; Arnold Maliniak; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMRD; relaxation theory; hydration; MD; FFC; PrxV; OEC complex; ZSM-5; BMIM [PF6; ]; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focus on the analysis of spin-lattice NMRD relaxation profilesmeasured in various complex systems such as proteins, zeolites and ionicliquids. Proton, deuterium and fluoride T1-NMRD relaxation profiles wereobtained from a fast-field cycling (FFC) instrument. LÄS MER

5. 19. Molecular Association Studied by NMR Spectroscopy

   Författare :Lars Nordstierna; István Furó; Peter Griffiths; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR; spin relaxation; self-diffusion; intermolecular cross-relaxation; chemical shift; fluorinated surfactants; hydrogenated surfactant; micelle; non-ideal mixing; adsorption; hydration; surfactant-protein association; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This Thesis presents studies of molecular association in aqueous solution and at the liquid/solid interface. The investigated molecular systems range from self-aggregating surfactants to hydration water in contact with micelles or individual molecules. In most studies, combinations of various NMR methods were applied. LÄS MER

7. 20. Foreign molecules in biomembranes : Molecular effects on intact stratum corneum and model lipid systems

   Författare :Quoc Dat Pham; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :stratum corneum; lipid; keratin filament; protein; DMPC; penetration enhancer; osmolyte; solvent; monoterpene; fatty acid; hydration; molecular mobility; fluidity; permeability; PT ssNMR; diffusion cell;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis mainly explores how the molecular mobility of lipid and protein components in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC), varies with different conditions and upon adding foreign compounds. These studies require methods that makes it possible to detect and characterize the minor amount of fluid components in the highly ordered solid SC sample with resolved molecular information. LÄS MER
