  1. 6. The value of preserving nature : Preference uncertainty and distributional effects

    Författare :Thomas Broberg; Runar Brännlund; Susana Mourato; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with valuation of nonmarket goods using contingent valuation and consists of four papers and an introduction to the research area. Paper [I] examines the public benefits from preserving old-growth forest in the sub-mountainous region in Sweden. LÄS MER

    Författare :Anna Broms; Anna-Karin Tornberg; Mattias Sandberg; Eric Keaveny; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stokes flow; rigid particles; accuracy; fundamental solutions; method of images; multiblob; contact avoiding; complementarity problem; barrier method; elliptic PDE; grid optimisation; pair-correction; boundary integral equations; Stokesflöde; noggrannhet; stela partiklar; fundamentallösningar; randintegralekvation; reflektionspunkter; multiblob; kontaktundvikande algoritmer; komplementaritetsproblem; barriärmetod; elliptisk PDE; gridoptimering; parkorrektion; Numerical Analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis concerns simulation techniques for systems of nano- to micro-scaled rigid particles immersed in a viscous fluid, ubiquitous in nature and industry. With negligible fluid inertia, the set of PDEs known as the Stokes equations can be used to model the hydrodynamics. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Curing Multiple Sclerosis : How to do it and how to prove it

    Författare :Joachim Burman; Jan Fagius; Angelica Loskog; Sara Mangsbo; Paulo Muraro; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biomarkers; cerebrospinal fluid; cytokines; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; immunology; magnetic resonance imaging; multiple sclerosis; neuroimmunology; neurology; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) with now more than 600 documented cases in the medical literature. Long-term remission can be achieved with this therapy, but when is it justified to claim that a patient is cured from MS? In attempt to answer this question, the outcome of the Swedish patients is described, mechanisms behind the therapeutic effect are discussed and new tools for demonstration of absence of disease have been developed.

  5. 9. Multifunctional composite materials : Design, manufacture and experimental characterisation

    Författare :Tony Carlson; Emile Smith Greenhalgh; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Polymeric Composite Materials;

    Sammanfattning : The use of lightweight materials in structural applications is ever increasing. Today, lightweight engineering materials are needed to realise greener, safer and more competitive products. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Algorithmic discovery, development and personalized selection of higher-order drug cocktails : A label-free live-cell imaging & secretomics approach

    Författare :Efthymia Chantzi; Mats G Gustafsson; Ulf Hammerling; Andreas Bender; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; drug combination discovery and development; personalized pharmacotherapy; higher-order drug combination analysis; quantitative label-free live-cell imaging; secretomics; cell-cell communication; deep learning; convolutional neural networks; data mining; MapReduce; resampling; generalized highest single agent; COMBImageDL; COMBSecretomics; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Pharmacology; Farmakologi; Engineering Science; Teknisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : An upward trend in clinical pharmacology is the use of multiple drugs to combat complex and co-occurring diseases due to better efficacy, decreased toxicity and reduced risk of evolving resistance. Despite high late-stage attrition rates and the need for multi drug treatments, most drug discovery and development efforts are still mainly focused on new one-size-fits-all monotherapies. LÄS MER
