  2. 1. Force Budget Analysis of Glacier Flow : Ice Dynamical Studies on Storglaciären, Sweden, and Ice Flow Investigations of Outlet Glaciers in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

    Author : Jim Hedfors; Veijo Pohjola; Else Kolstrup; Niels Reeh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography and sedimentology; force budget; ice flux; ice dynamics; mass balance; strain heating; climate change; Storglaciären; Dronning Maud Land; Antarctica; Naturgeografi och sedimentologi; Physical geography; Naturgeografi;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to the understanding of glacier response to climate change by ice dynamical studies on Storglaciären, Sweden, and Bonnevie-Svendsenbreen, Kibergbreen and Plogbreen in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Ice surface velocities, ice geometry and temperature information is fed through a force budget model to calculate ice mass outflux of these glacial systems via three-dimensional stress distributions for a flux-gate.

  4. 2. Systems Analysis of the Protein Secretory Pathway in Yeast and Human Cells

    Author : Amir Feizi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein production; flux balance analysis; biopharmaceutical; secretory pathway: secretome; recombinant protein; genome-scale modeling; systems biology;

    Abstract : The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, later in nineteen century the cell theory was developed as all organisms are composed of one or more cells. Since then, many tools and experimental methods have been developed to dissect and characterize the cell components which resulted in established solid scientific fields such as biochemistry, molecular cell biology and genetics.

  5. 3. Metabolic Modeling of the Gut Microbiome-Host Interactions and Meta’omics Integration

    Author : Saeed Shoaie; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; meta’omics; complexity; obesity; network topology; Gut microbiome; genome-scale metabolic model; gene richness; CASINO; systems biology; flux balance analysis; diabetes;

    Abstract : A large number of microbes with different strain types occupy the human gut. These gut inhabitant microbes have key roles in decomposition of indigestible dietary macronutrients before they are metabolised by the host. READ MORE

  6. 4. Improving cyanobacteria productivity: From theory to assay

    Author : Kiyan Shabestary; Elton P. Hudson; Daniel Ducat; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; metabolic engineering; growth-coupling; growth-arrest; cyanobacteria; CRISPRi; CRISPRi library; flux balance analysis; genome-scale model; butanol; lactate; isoprene; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Bio-based production of biochemicals and biofuels holds great promises for the transition towards a more sustainable society. With increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, cyanobacteria stand apart as natural catalysts directly converting CO2 and light to product. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computing abundance constraints in Saccharomyces cerevisiae’s metabolism

    Author : Benjamín José Sánchez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genome-scale modeling; lipidomics; proteomics; flux balance analysis;

    Abstract : The unicellular eukaryotic organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) is routinely used for production of high-value chemical compounds in the biotechnology industry. To improve production yields, it is fundamental to understand cellular metabolism, i.e. all biochemical reactions that occur inside the cell. READ MORE
