Diffusion encoding with free gradient waveforms can provide increased microstructural specificity in heterogeneous tissues compared to conventional encoding approaches. This is achieved by considering specific aspects of encoding, such as b-tensor shape, sensitivity to bulk motion and to time-dependent diffusion (TDD). In tensor-valued encoding, different b-tensor shapes are used, such as in linea

This thesis addresses the interactions and relationships between natural aquatic bacterial communities, environmental parameters, anthropogenic chemicals and the denitrification pathway in the habitat of agricultural constructed wetlands. The main aim was to gain fundamental knowledge of the drivers behind the processes of the denitrification (i.e. nitrogen removal) in constructed wetlands, hence,

The translocation t(8;16)(p11;p13) is associated with a subtype of acute monocytic leukemia (AML M5) characterized morphologically by erythrophagocytosis and clinically by a poor prognosis. The t(8;16) fuses the MOZ gene from 8p11 with the CBP (also named CREBBP) gene from 16p13. Previously published studies of MOZ and CBP rearrangements in t(8;16)-positive AML have used fluorescence in situ hybri

The topic of this thesis is subjectless clauses in Old Swedish (1225–1526). The thesis focuses on referential subjects, and addresses the problem of why the possibilities to leave out such subjects have been reduced during the history of Swedish. The dissertation consists of three main parts, divided into eight chapters. In the first part, chapters 1–3, the aims are presented and a theoretical bac

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är väl känt att infektioner kan orsaka eller medverka till utveckling av vissa former av cancer hos människan. Cirka 20% av den globala cancerincidensen orsakas av infektioner. Patienter med nedsatt immunförsvar har en ökad förekomst av ett flertal virus-orsakade cancerformer, t.ex. livmoderhalscancer som orsakas av humant papillomvirus (HPV) och levercancer som ors

The fact that a growing number of pathogens develop resistance against traditional treatment is a growing medical problem. Infections, which until now have been harmless, might turn into life threatening diseases. These problems have led to an intensified search for alternative treatments. Analogs of cell surface glycoconjugates are an alternative. Ideally they prevent the adhesion of the pathogen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Klorofyllsyntes är en viktig process i naturen. De gröna pigmenten utgör en viktig del i fotosyntesen där de absorberar och överför solenergi till fotosyntetiska reaktionscentra. Magnesium kelatas katalyserar insättandet av en magnesium (II) jon i protoporfyrin IX, vilket är det första specifika steget i klorofyllsyntesen. Magnesium kelatas består av tre proteiner, som The biosynthesis of chlorophylls is an important process in nature. The green pigments play a fundamental role in absorbing and transferring solar energy to the photosynthetic apparatus. This thesis elucidates the role and function of the enzyme magnesium chelatase, which catalyses the insertion of magnesium (II) into protoporphyrin IX and is the first committed enzyme of the chlorophyll biosynthe

The Arena and the Entrepreneurial City builds on a microhistory of the collaboration between public and private organizations in the creation of two public sports arenas. Several new arenas have been built in Sweden during the last 15 years and many of them have received a lot of attention because of cost overruns and design flaws. Previous research shows that there are no economic incentives for

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska (Comprehensive summary in Swedish) Stora kroppspulsådern är det centrala kärl som från hjärtat leder blodet vidare till kroppens alla organ. När kroppspulsåderns kärlvägg försvagas resulterar detta i en utvidgning (bråck). Ett kroppspulsåderbråck sitter vanligtvis i nivå med naveln, strax nedom kärlen som försörjer njurarnaAbstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a hideous life threatening disease that most often is asymptomatic until it ruptures. Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a painful and serious predicament with a mortality of 80-90%. Half of the patients die before arriving to hospital, leaving family members in sorrow and shock. In Sweden about 700-1000 patients die each year due to rAAA, cor
