Växtämnen som har läkemedelsliknande effekter kan påverka huden på olika sätt. Ämnena kan stärka och skydda huden mot utomstående skada såsom UV-strålning och avgaser och därmed bromsa hudens åldrande. Kan restprodukter från växter bidra med samma skydd och potentiellt vara viktiga ingredienser i hudvårdsprodukter ämnade för att hålla huden ung och frisk? Denna fråga besvaras i detta projekt. HudAging of the skin is an inevitable process that occurs throughout a lifetime and exposure to environmental pollutants is a factor accelerating this process. Phytochemicals present in plants possess biological activities known to protect or repair the skin cells and when used in skin care products they can slow down the skin aging process. In this project agricultural waste materials are investigat

Våra städer förtätas och överallt dyker nya byggnader upp. Förutom att uppföra fler byggnader vill vi även att dessa ska vara höga och på andra sätt komplexa. Detta ställer i sin tur högre krav på projektören som ska säkerställa byggnadens brandskydd. För att bestämma hur brandskyddet ska utformas i byggnader kan projektöAs buildings get more and more complex and our cities get more and more populated, challenges arise for the persons involved in designing buildings. One of the most important system, the fire protection measures, needs to be designed properly for every building. As the buildings get more complex, the fire protection design needs more often to be flexible and appropriate for the situation. One way

Magnetresonanstomografi, eller MRI, är en central och växande del av dagens vård, vilket ger läkare en bred verktygslåda för att diagnostisera en mängd olika medicinska tillstånd. En typ av undersökning som går att utföras med en magnetkamera är diffusionsundersökningar, som speglar partiklars slumpmässiga rörelse i vatten. Denna typ av undersökning möjliggör kartläggning av organ baserat på vävnaMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for diagnostics in medical imaging, where diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is a modality used for probing tissue microstructure and function at a molecular level. Due to poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial resolution in DW-MRI, the noise floor typically induces a large signal bias by elevating the signal intensity. This bias affects the accur
