Studies of Nanowire Devices Enabled by Advanced Nanofabrication

This thesis explores the possibility of using advanced device geometries and heterostructure engineering to manipulate, control, and study the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor nanowires. The first part of the thesis investigates the use of different gate-all-around architectures for creating new types of gate-controlled nanowire devices, primarily intended for fundamental studies

Frimureri i Svenska Pommern (I)

First part of a series of three articles on the history of freemasonry in the Swedish possession Swedish-Pomerania on German soil.

The Zimont TFC Model Applied to premixed Bluff Body Stabilized Combustion Using Four Different RANS Turbulence Models

The Volvo Aero Corp. (VAC) Triangular Bluff Body Stabilized Combustion rig VR-1 has been extensively researched both in terms of experiments and theoretical treatment. Previous CFD work has concentrated on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models combined with the Level Set Flamelet Library approach. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has also been applied to the case. In this paper the Zimont Turbu

On leukocyte recruitment in endotoxemic liver injury

Leukocyte recruitment is a key feature of liver injury associated with endotoxemia and systemic inflammation. The aim of this thesis was to define the adhesive mechanisms underlying leukocyte endothelial cell interactions, and the therapeutic potential of interference with specific adhesion molecules in endotoxemic liver damage. Moreover, the causal relationship between leukocyte recruitment on on

Phenotypic Specification of Striatal Progenitors; Evidence for both cell-autonomous and environmental control as studied by transplantation into the adult and developing rodent brain

The striatum is the major component of the ventral telencephalon and basal ganglia, involved in the processing of cortical information. The vast majority of the neuronal population in the striatum are striatal projection neurons, with connection to the globus pallidus and substantia nigra. The remaining striatal population consists largely of cholinergic, parvalbumin or somatostatin-containing int

Human Dendritic Cells and the Regulation of Allergic Immune Responses

Dendritic cells (DC) are a heterogeneous lineage of bone-marrow-derived leukocytes that serve as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. They are professional antigen-presenting cells that play an important protective and regulatory role in both health and disease. This thesis is based upon six original papers that deal with the function and transcription of human DCs, with focus on their r
