  1. 21. Hand function in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Berit Dellhag; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; hand function; test; precision grip; exercise; wax bath; activities of daily living; outcome; disability; longitudinal.;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease. Involvement of wrist and hand is a characteristic finding and occur at an early stage. Hand function is of great importance in performance of daily activities (ADL).Aims. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Metabolic engineering for production of complex lipids in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) leaves and rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm

    Författare :Selcuk Aslan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : World chemical and energy supplies for industry are today highly dependent on unsustainable fossil reserves. Vegetable lipids with similar chemical structures to fossil oil could be the ultimate renewable solution to replace fossil oil and provide environmentally friendly feedstocks and energy resources.

  4. 23. Polyhydroxyl and Polyphosphorylcholine functionalized Silica for Hydrophilic interaction liquid Chromatography- Synthesis, characterization and application

    Författare :Nhat Thi Hong Bui; Knut Irgum; Michael Lämmerhofer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography; HILIC; silica; TRIS; acrylamide acrylate; ATRP; iniferter; “controlled living’’ radical polymerization; N; N′-methylenebisacrylamide; MPC; stationary phase; analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the development of new stationary phases for use in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography using TRIS-based and phosphorylcholine typed monomers and porous silica particles as starting substrates. In this thesis, several ways of polymerizing highly hydrophilic mono­mers onto pore surfaces of silica supports are described, based on several “grafting from” schemes. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Paraffin Actuators in Microfluidic Systems

    Författare :Marcus Lehto; Klas Hjort; Peter Woias; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Engineering physics; Paraffin; Actuators; Valve; Micropump; Teknisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : There is a need for reliable valves and pumps in microfluidics. A good microactuator is the key for low cost and high performance of these components.Paraffin wax is a promising material to be used as actuator material as is can produce large forces and large strokes. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Tailoring adhesion and wetting properties of cellulose fibers and model surfaces

    Författare :Emil Gustafsson; Lars Wågberg; Monika Österberg; Mikael Hedenqvist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The layer-by-layer (LbL) technique was used to modify the surface of cellulose fibers by consecutive adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) followed by a final adsorbed layer of anionic paraffin wax colloids. Paper hand sheets made from the modified fibers were found to be highly hydrophobic with a contact angle of 150°. LÄS MER
