  2. 1. Consequences of Adaptation for Risk : In Nepal and the Maldives

    Author : Lama Phudoma; Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptation; risk; communities; Nepal; Maldives;

    Abstract : Throughout time, communities have adapted to changes in their environment and, in doing so, have addressed risksthat threaten the things they value. The need to adapt is considered more urgent now than ever, notably given thecurrent focus on climate risk. Typically, adaptation is presented as a solution to reduce such risks. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wheat quality under a climate spell : a focus on protein, physico-chemical and growth characteristics evaluated by innovatively combined approaches

    Author : Sbatie Lama; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The quality of bread is largely determined by the gluten protein concentration and composition, both greatly influenced by environmental factors such as heat and drought. Future climate in Sweden is expected to fluctuate severely, affecting gluten proteins and the production of bread wheat, as well as future availability of food. READ MORE

  5. 3. Novel methods for improving rapid paper-based protein assays with gold nanoparticle detection

    Author : Lara Lama; Helene Andersson Svahn; Jesper Gantelius; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gold nanoparticles; ultrasound energy; signal enhancement; diagnostics; microarrays; paper-based assays; COMSOL Multiphysics simulations; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : This thesis describes methods for improving sensitivity in rapid singleplex and multiplex microarray assays. The assays utilize the optical characteristics of colloidal gold nanoparticles for the colorimetric detection of proteins.Multiplexed detection in sandwich immunoassays is limited by cross-reactivity between different detection antibodies.

  6. 4. Bispyridylamides as ligands in asymmetric catalysis

    Author : Oscar Belda de Lama; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; asymmetric catalysis; chiral ligand; pyridine; amide; allylic alkylation; enantioselective; cyanation; ring-opening; chiral Lewis acid;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the preparation and use of chiralbispyridylamides as ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetricreactions. The compounds were prepared by amide formation usingdifferent coupling reagents. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies in the Kalacakra Tantra : A History of the Kalacakra in Tibet and a Study of the Concept of Adibuddha, the Fourth Body of the Buddha and the Supreme Unchanging

    Author : Urban Hammar; Per-Arne Berglie; John Newman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Buddhism; Kalacakra; Adibuddha; tantra; Dalai Lama; the unchanging; History of religion; Religionshistoria;

    Abstract : The study treats the the tantric Buddhist system of teachings of Kalacakra, today a well-known teaching and initiation given since 1970 by the present Dalai Lama at mass ceremonies around the world. The Kalacakra was first introduced by Bhadrabodhi and Gyi-jo in the eleventh century, another example of successful cooperation between an Indian pandit and a Tibetan translator. READ MORE
