  1. 1. Energy analysis for sustainable mega-cities

    Författare :Aumnad Phdungsilp; Björn Palm; Ivo Martinac; Charles Heaps; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Asian mega-cities; energy demand; metabolism of cities; energy modeling; sustainable energy; energy planning; multi-criteria decision-making; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Cities throughout Asia have experienced unprecedented economic development over the past decades. In many cases this has contributed to their rapid and uncontrolled growth, which has resulted in a multiplicity of problems, including rapid population increase, enhanced environmental pollution, collapsing traffic systems, dysfunctional waste management, and rapid increases in the consumption of energy, water and other resources.

    Sammanfattning : Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are driving climate change, but the pending crisis could be mitigated by a circular carbon economy where released CO2 is recycled into commodity chemicals. Autotrophic microbes can make a contribution by producing chemicals, such as biofuels, from CO2 and renewable energy. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Energy metabolism as a target for new treatment strategies in Huntington’s disease

    Författare :Marie Sjögren; Biomarkörer vid hjärnsjukdomar; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington´s disease; Energy metabolic alteration; Weight loss; Skeletal muscle; Adipose tissue; R6 2; Ghrelin; Liraglutide;

    Sammanfattning : Huntington´s disease (HD) is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG triplet repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene and characterized by cognitive and motoric dysfunctions as well as psychiatric problems. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests altered energy metabolism and a hyper-catabolic state as key features of HD pathology. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Walking efficiently with smart springs

    Författare :Israel Luis; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Ruoli Wang; Benjamin J. Fregly; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation; muscle-tendon biomechanics; muscle parameter calibration; metabolic energy models; gait analysis; exoskeleton assistance; biomechanics; Biomekanisk modellering och simulering; rörelseorganen; biomekanik; muskel; muskelmodell och muskelarkitektur; metabolisk energi och kostnad; gång; gånganalys; exoskelett; hjälpmedel; gångpatologi; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Numerous assistive exoskeletons have been developed in recent years to assist walking in individuals with and without motor disorders. A standard metric to measure the efficacy of assistance is the change in the metabolic energy cost between unassisted and assisted conditions. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hypothalamic and Metabolic Dysfunction in Genetic Models of Huntington’s Disease

    Författare :Rana Soylu Kucharz; Translationell neuroendokrinologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington’s Disease; Huntingtin; Hypothalamus; Metabolism; Obesity; orexin; PVN; BAT; TH; neuroendocrinology;

    Sammanfattning : Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. HD is an inherited progressive neurodegenerative disorder manifested by the wide array of motor dysfunctions, as well as non-motor symptoms. LÄS MER
