11. Stochastic modelling and analysis of early mouse development
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to model and describe dynamical events for biological cells using statistical and mathematical tools. The thesis includes five papers that all relate to stochastic modelling of cells. LÄS MER
12. Functional polymer brush coatings for nanoscale devices
Sammanfattning : Nanobiotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that has garnered considerable attention for offering exciting new opportunities of studying and manipulating biomolecules at the nanoscale. This prospect bears large potential benefits in the field of medicine and the whole life science sector in general. LÄS MER
13. Exploring the Interplay of Lipids and Membrane Proteins
Sammanfattning : The interplay between lipids and membrane proteins is known to affect membrane protein topology and thus have significant effect (control) on their functions. In this PhD thesis, the influence of lipids on the membrane protein function was studied using three different membrane protein models. LÄS MER

15. Mixture toxicity of pesticides and biological effects in agricultural streams : field and laboratory studies
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis was to examine pesticide mixture toxicity and its effects on aquatic biota in agricultural streams. This was accomplished by (1) calculating the ΣTUs for algae and Daphnia magna and a pesticide toxicity index (PTI) based on water quality standards (WQS) for long-term monitoring data (2002-2010), (2) by performing algal inhibition tests with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, using both collected in situ water samples and reconstituted water spiked with field-observed pesticide mixtures, and (3) by studying seasonal changes in macroinvertebrate and diatom communities during 2008 in four agricultural streams and determine a set of community-based metrics such as species richness, diversity, ASPT, SPEAR and IPS.
