Disputation: Magnus Heldin, avd tillämpad materialvetenskap, "Designing grinding tools to control and understand fibre release in groundwood pulping". Opponent: Docent Birgitta Engberg från Mittuniversitetet.

This thesis shows that it is possible to design future tools that can help reducing the energy consumption in industrial pulping.

Some previous studies have found that the amount and severity of injuries in homicide victims correlate with different homicide characteristics, such as the victim-offender relationship and drug influence of the offender. If such relationships exist, they may be used by homicide investigators as part of an offender profiling.

In the present work, the conducting polymer PEDOT and the simplest quinone, benzoquinone, are covalently attached and form the conducting redox polymer used for most studies in this thesis.

Disputation: Mia Sterby, avd Nanoteknologi och funktionella material, ”Electrochemical Characterization of Conducting Redox Polymers”. Opponent: Professor Peter Pickup, Memorial University of Newfoundland.

The Higgs particle was first predicted in 1964, and was discovered in the summer of 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This discovery was the latest in a long list of successful Standard Model predictions spanning the last fifty years.

Disputation: Chenyu Wen, avd Fasta tillståndets elekronik. ”Solid-State Nanopores for Sensing - From theory to applications”. Opponent: Professor Ulrich F. Keyser, University of Cambridge.

This thesis explores SSNPs from basic physical mechanisms to versatile applications, by entailing a balance between theory and experiment.

Disputation

This thesis aims to approach an answer to the following questions, with a randomized, placebo-controlled method: 1) Does rapid maxillary expansion have a curative effect on therapy-resistant NE? 2) Is the potential curative effect due to respiratory events that can be measured during sleep? 3) Do enuretic children have an impaired quality of life (QoL)?

Sphagnum species in general are limited by the availability of water. Low temperature, particularly during late autumn are probably decisive for the biogeographic limits and for the distribution of species along the hydrological gradient.

Disputation

The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the introduction of the procedure, including the facilitation strategies provided to support implementation, and to provide inter-rater correlations and norms for the SDQ in this population.

Disputation: Lukas Jablonka, avd Fasta tillståndets elektronik. ” Contacts and Interconnects for Germanium-based Monolithic 3D integrated Circuits”. Opponent: Fabrice Nemouchi, CEA-Leti, Frankrike.

The ARIANNA (Antarctic Ross Ice-shelf ANtenna Neutrino Array) experiment has the goal to detect the highest energy neutrinos by measuring radio wave radiation produced by their interaction products in the ice.
