16. Pharmacodynamic modeling of cardiovascular effects of Σb-antagonists and moxonidine : Special emphasis on tolerance and rebound effects
Sammanfattning : Pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling was used to characterize and quantify the short- and long-term changes in cardiovascular effects following treatment with β-antagonists or imidazoline receptor agonist moxonidine, in spontaneous hypertensive rats and patients with congestive heart failure, respectively. The complex cardiovascular system is regulated by several feedback mechanisms with different time domains and gains. LÄS MER
17. On drops and turbulence in nuclear fuel assemblies of Boiling Water Reactors
Sammanfattning : The study aims to develop the understanding of the mechanistic-type approach to quantify drop deposition in nuclear fuel assemblies of Boiling Water Reactors. This includes the effect of spacers. LÄS MER
18. Philosophical controversies in the evaluation of medical treatments : With a focus on the evidential roles of randomization and mechanisms in Evidence-Based Medicine
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines philosophical controversies surrounding the evaluation of medical treatments, with a focus on the evidential roles of randomised trials and mechanisms in Evidence-Based Medicine. Current 'best practice' usually involves excluding non-randomised trial evidence from systematic reviews in cases where randomised trials are available for inclusion in the reviews. LÄS MER
19. Decomposition of soil organic matter under a changing climate : a matter of efficiency?
Sammanfattning : Soil organic matter is the largest carbon (C) pool in the terrestrial C cycle, and soil CO₂ emissions surpass anthropogenic emissions from fossil fuel combustion by a factor of nine. Therefore, mechanisms controlling C stabilisation in soils and its feedback to climate change are widely debated. LÄS MER
20. Evolution of host repertoires and the diversification of butterflies
Sammanfattning : All herbivorous insects are specialized to some extent to their host plants, but the level of specialization varies greatly. Insect-plant coevolution is often invoked to explain the large diversity of herbivorous insects, but the role of specialization during diversification is still controversial. LÄS MER
