1. Cycle paths’ degradation processes and surface condition assessment
Abstract : A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, both from individual- and societal perspectives, e.g., better health from an increase in physical activity, lower levels of pollution and congestion. However, there are also some potential problems with such a shift. READ MORE

2. Degradation Pathways of Dimethylmercury in Natural Waters
Abstract : Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring toxic trace metal whose release into the environment has been (and still is) exacerbated by human activities. The bioavailability of Hg is tied to its chemical speciation, with monomethylmercury (MMHg) being the primary form of Hg that bioaccumulates and biomagnifies. READ MORE

3. Innovative Bioreactors for the Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Abstract : The development of biological reactors for the treatment of toxic and recalcitrant organic pollutants is a complex task. Firstly, microbial inoculation, acclimation and selection must be optimized to provide the best microflora possible. READ MORE

4. The role of glial cells in alpha-synuclein pathology : Focus on degradation, cell-to-cell propagation and inflammation
Abstract : Growing evidence emphasizes the role of astrocytes and microglia in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, little is known about their impact on specific disease processes and if their involvement is beneficial or detrimental. READ MORE

5. Structural and biochemical insights into biosynthesis and degradation of N-glycans
Abstract : Carbohydrates are a primary energy source for all living organisms, but importantly, they also participate in a number of life-sustaining biological processes, e.g. cell signaling and cell-wall synthesis. The first part of the thesis examines glycosyltransferases that play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of N-glycans. READ MORE
