  1. 16. Engineered Yeast as Biocatalyst for Stereoselective reductions of Dicarbonyl Compounds

    Author : Ted Johanson; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; chiral; screening; process optimisation; metabolic engineering; dicarbonyl; biocatalysis; yeast; bioreduction; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Chiral building blocks are needed in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries for the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The utilisation of microorganisms and enzymes to perform stereoselective reductions of carbonyl compounds is an efficient and widely applied method for the generation of chiral molecules. READ MORE

  2. 17. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction

  3. 18. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction

    Author : Cenny Wenner; Johan Håstad; Viggo Kann; Irit Dinur; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Combinatorial Optimization; Complexity Theory; Approximation; Approximability; Inapproximability; Computational Hardness; NP; Optimization; Constraint Satisfaction; Kombinatorisk optimering; Komplexitetsteori; Beräkningsteori; Approximation; Approximerbarhet; Beräkningssvårighet; NP; Optimering; Vilkorssatisfiering; Vilkorsuppfyllning; Vilkorstillfredställand; datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Combinatorial optimization include such tasks as finding the quickest route to work, scheduling jobs to specialists, and placing bus stops so as to minimize commuter times. We consider problems where one is given a collection of constraints with the objective of finding an assignment satisfying as many constraints as possible, also known as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs).

  4. 19. Development and application of new chiral -amino alcohols in synthesis and catalysis : Use of 2-azanorboryl-3-methanols as common intermediates in synthesis and catalysis

    Author : Pedro Pinho; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; Asymmetric synthesis; hetero-Diels-Alder reactions; chiral cyclopentyl-amines; chiral ligands and catalysts; amino alcohols; asymmetric reductions; ruthenium transfer hydrogenation; oxazaborolidines; asymmetric additions; dialkylzinc reagents; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : The development and application of unnatural amino alcohols,prepared via hetero-Diels-Alder reactions,in synthesis and catalysis is described.The studies are concerned with the [i]scope of the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction and preparation of important intermediates in the synthesis of antiviral agents,[ii ]application of amino alcohols in the ruthenium transfer hydrogenation of ketones,[iii ]use of similar precursors in the in situ generation of oxazaborolidines for reduction of ketones,and [iv] development and application of new chiral auxiliaries for dialkylzinc additions to activated imines, respectively.

  5. 20. District Heating Sensitivity to Heat Demand Reductions and Electricity Market Dynamics

    Author : Magnus Åberg; Ewa Wäckelgård; Dag Henning; Joakim Widén; Louise Trygg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk fysik; Engineering Science;

    Abstract : Sweden and the rest of the EU member states have to reduce primary energy use andemissions of CO2, and increase the use of renewable energy sources according to the EUclimate change package “20-20-20”. To do this, the energy systems need to use less fossilfuel and to utilise energy resources more efficiently. READ MORE
