  2. 1. Microbial risk assessment and its implications for risk management in urban water systems

    Author : Therese Westrell; Thor-Axel Stenström; Nick Ashbolt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantitative microbial risk assessment; pathogens; urban; decentralised; failures; noroviruses; water consumption; HACCP; drinking water; wastewater; sludge; faeces; risk management; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

    Abstract : Infectious disease can be transmitted via various environmental pathways, many of which are incorporated into our water and wastewater systems. Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) can be a valuable tool in identifying hazard exposure pathways and estimating their associated health impacts. READ MORE

  4. 2. Computer-Assisted Carbohydrate Structural Studies and Drug Discovery

    Author : Magnus Lundborg; Göran Widmalm; Hans-Christian Siebert; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbohydrates; molecular docking; molecular dynamics simulation; fragment-based virtual screening; NMR spectroscopy; computer-aided drug design; computer-aided structure elucidation; glycosyltransferases; Escherichia coli; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Carbohydrates are abundant in nature and have functions ranging from energy storage to acting as structural components. Analysis of carbohydrate structures is important and can be used for, for instance, clinical diagnosis of diseases as well as in bacterial studies. The complexity of glycans makes it difficult to determine their structures. READ MORE

  5. 3. On norovirus outbreaks and transmission in hospitals

    Author : Carl-Johan Fraenkel; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; norovirus; outbreaks; transmission; surveillance; prevention;

    Abstract : Abstract Noroviruses are now the leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. Noroviruses are effectively transmitted due to a low infectious dose, viral shedding in high concentrations, environmental stability, and they induce only a limited immunity after infection. Especially, the norovirus variants of genotype II.4 (GII. READ MORE

  6. 4. Computational Prediction and Analysis of Protein-Carbohydrate and Protein-Protein Interactions

    Author : Ashok Krishna Chaitanya Koppisetty; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arylsulfatase-A; Norovirus VA387; Molecular Dynamics; Saposin B; Computational Docking;

    Abstract : The structure and energetics of protein-carbohydrate and protein-protein interactions are of great interest due to their importance in many biological phenomena. Two cases of protein-carbohydrate interactions and one case of protein-protein interactions were predicted and analyzed using existing computational methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Comparative analysis of pathogen occurrence in wastewater : management strategies for barrier function and microbial control

    Author : Jakob Ottoson; Bengt Hultman; Roland Schertenleib; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bacteria; parasites; treatment; Water engineering; Vattenteknik;

    Abstract : This project was initiated to fill knowledge gaps on the occurrence of pathogens in different streams of wastewater, e.g. greywater and domestic wastewater. READ MORE
