  1. 1. Metabolic disturbances in shift workers

    Författare :Berndt Karlsson; Giovanni Costa; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :shift work; epidemiology; mortality; diabetes; stroke; coronary heart disease; obesity; triglycerides; HDL-cholesterol; insulin; glucose; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : An increased risk for coronary heart disease among shift workers is earlier shown in the epidemiological literature. The aim of this thesis has been to penetrate metabolic disturbances and obesity among shift workers compared to day workers, and to compare if there are differences in total mortality or cause specific mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes or ischaemic stroke in between the two groups.

  3. 2. Evolution of Mimicry and Aposematism Explained: Salient Traits and Predator Psychology

    Författare :Baharan Kazemi; Olof Leimar; Gabriella Gamberale-Stille; Mike Speed; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; imperfect mimicry; mimicry evolution; predator learning; discrimination; generalization; salience; overshadowing; aposematism; warning signal evolution; generalization bias; peak shift; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : Aposematic species have evolved conspicuous warning signals, such as bright colors and striking patterns, to deter predators. Some edible and harmless species take advantage of this deterrent effect by mimicking their appearance. Mimicry is a great example of how natural selection produces remarkable adaptations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. High-Capacity Cool Thermal Energy Storage for Peak Shaving - a Solution for Energy Challenges in the 21st century

    Författare :Bo He; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Comfort cooling; peak shaving; phase change materials PCM ; cool thermal energy storage; DSC; phase change temperature; the heat of fusion; phase equilibrium; phase diagram.;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climatic change, increasing thermal loads inbuildings and rising living standards, comfort cooling inbuildings is becoming increasingly important and the demand forcomfort cooling is expanding very quickly around the world. Theincreased cooling demand results in a peak in electrical powerdemand during the hottest summer hours. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Quantum Chemical Studies of Protein-Bound Chromophores, UV-Light Induced DNA Damages, and Lignin Formation

    Författare :Bo Durbeej; Leif Eriksson; Tim Clark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum chemistry; quantum chemistry; calculations; density functional theory; excited states; photochemistry; chromophores; absorption spectra; bathochromic shift; isomerization; UV radiation; DNA damages; cycloaddition reactions; photoenzymic repair; electron transfer; lignin; polymerization; phenoxy radicals; dilignols; Kvantkemi; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum chemical methods have been used to provide a better understanding of the photochemistry of astaxanthin and phytochromobilin; the photoenzymic repair of UV-light induced DNA damages; and the formation of lignin. The carotenoid astaxanthin (AXT) is responsible for the colouration of lobster shell. LÄS MER
