1. Material Properties of Bulk Hydrophobic Concrete in a Nordic Environment
Sammanfattning : Concrete in its unaltered form allows the mass transfer of fluids into and out of its microstructure. These fluids can contain detrimental solutes which change the chemistry of the cement paste and/or the corrosion properties of the reinforcement bars, most noticeably hydrogen carbonates (HCO3-), oxygen (O2) and chloride ions (Cl-).

2. Genetic engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for the sustainable production of food oils
Sammanfattning : The human population and its demand for food oils is constantly growing. However, increasing food oil production currently requires the deforestation of mostly tropical rainforests to allow the plantation of oil crops. LÄS MER
3. Sex, Molecules, and Gene control : Ecophysiological and evolutionary aspects of key sponge species from Antarctic shallow waters and the deep sea
Sammanfattning : Very little is known about the ecophysiological aspects of Porifera (sponges) from Antarctica and North Atlantic, even though they are keystone components of these habitats. Being the earliest diverging metazoan lineage, sponges also play a fundamental role in our understanding of animal evolution. LÄS MER
4. Influence of Herring (Clupea harengus) Intake on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes four studies that investigated whether or not herring (Clupea harengus) intake decreases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It has previously been shown that fatty fish and fish oil intake decreases the risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. LÄS MER
5. The effects of endothelin-1 in human adipose tissue
Sammanfattning : Obesity is a result of an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure ending in an excessive accumulation of body fat. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of death because of obesity related complications, e.g. insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer. LÄS MER
