Semiconductor nanostructure based devices provide new opportunities for contributing to a sustainable energy usage. This includes harvesting of energy (solar cells) and saving of energy, e.g. in lighting (light-emitting diodes, LEDs) and transfer of energy (power devices). However, development and improvement of nanostructure devices requires thorough characterization and understanding on a single

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,

Det är ganska enkelt. Vi skickar post och paket till-, från- och inom universitetet. Vi fraktar stort och smått - i ental eller i tusental - och vi gör det snabbt, jättesnabbt eller i expressfart. Det är en lika enkel som viktig uppgift. Vi hoppas kunna göra din arbetsdag lite enklare.Our job is quite simple. We send mail and parcels to, from and within the University. We carry large and small items - singly or in thousands - and we do it fast, extremely fast or at express speed. Our task is as simple as it is essential. Our aim is to make your working day a little easier.

Concerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major health burden among the middle aged and elderly. Partial meniscectomy, the most common orthopedic surgical intervention, is recognized as a strong risk factor for knee OA. Loss of the main meniscal functions, load distribution and shock absorption, are often critical steps in knee OA development. This review outlines the concept of a dual relationship between menisce

Observed declines in pollinator populations due to human pressures is of critical concern because pollination is an essential regulating ecosystem service (ES). Pollination has a major role in human food production and in maintaining flowering plant diversity. Estimating the pollination ES and its trends is thus essential for informing policy and management. However, the pollination ES remains poo

Wood is a renewable resource and a promising construction material for the growing bio-based economy. Efficiently utilising wood in the built environment requires a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics regarding its usability. Durability is an essential property to consider, as various types of exposure create conditions for the deterioration of wood through biotic and abiotic agents. Biode

The world is today facing a serious problem with global warming, which is heading towards an appallingly high temperature level. The greater part of the overall climate science community agree that global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, which depends largely on emitted CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel. The agreement at the COP 21 climate meeting in Paris (December 2015)

Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e
