2. 6. Biosensor technology applied to hybridization analysis and mutation detection

   Author : Peter Nilsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biosensor; genosensor; surface plasmon resonance; hybridization; nucleic acids; oligonucleotide; mutation detection; mismatch discrimination; modular; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis demonstrates the application of biosensor technology for molecular biology investigations, utilizing a surface plasmon resonance based optical device for mass sensitive detection of biomolecular interactions at a chipsurface. Oligonucleotide model systems were designed for analysis of the action of DNA manipulating enzymes. READ MORE

4. 7. Heat-transfer Enhancement for Slurries from Biogas Plants− Properties, processes, and thermal systems

   Author : Jingjing Chen; Xiaoyan Ji; Bona Lu; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heat-transfer enhancement; slurry; rheological properties; computational fluid dynamics; twisted tubes; biogas production; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

   Abstract :  Biomethane production from renewable residues with anaerobic digestion gains increasing attention as a crucial alternative to petroleum fuels. It has been vigorously developed, but the large amounts of subsidy from the government indicate that the process efficiency needs to be further improved. READ MORE

5. 8. Antibacterial Surfaces for Biomedical Applications

   Author : Saba Atefyekta; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; contact killing surfaces; antibiotic delivery; Antibacterial surfaces; Infection; mesoporous titania; Elastin-like polypeptides; antimicrobial peptides;

   Abstract : Medical devices such as orthopedic implants are intended to serve for improved quality of life. However, clinical success cannot be taken for granted and the most common reason for failure is due to biomaterials associated infection (BAI). READ MORE

6. 9. On plant responses to D-amino acids : features of growth, root behaviour and selection for plant transformation

   Author : Oskar Forsum; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Amino acids have been regarded as potential plant nitrogen sources for more than a century. Some amino acids have been shown to support growth while others have growth-retarding effects. The D-isomers with notably adverse effects on plants’ growth and development include D-serine and D-alanine. READ MORE

7. 10. Steam Explosion of Wood

   Author : Muhammad Muzamal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element model; Steam explosion; biorefinery; pretreatment; wood;

   Abstract : The rising price of petroleum and environmental concerns regarding CO2 emissions has increased interest in alternative renewable resources. Biomass can be considered as an excellent alternative raw material. A biorefinery uses biomass and produces fuel, energy and value-added chemicals. READ MORE
