  2. 1. Semipermeable membrane devices in monitoring of organic pollutants in the aquatic environment

    Author : Darius Sabaliunas; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; effect studies; environmental monitoring; organic pollutants; bioconcentration; passive samplers; Semipermeable membrane devices; SPMDs; toxicity; genotoxicity; bioassays; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) are passive samplers capable of concentrating hydrophobic chemicals from water, sediments, soil and air. They consist of layflat polymeric membrane such as polyethylene containing a thin film of synthetic lipid such as triolein. READ MORE

  4. 2. Uncharted Waters : Non-target analysis of disinfection by-products in drinking water

    Author : Anna Andersson; David Bastviken; Henrik Kylin; David Reckhow; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Water treatment technologies; chemical disinfection; FT-ICR MS; bioassays; Vattenreningstekniker; klor; kloramin; FT-ICR MS; effektbaserad analys;

    Abstract : Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are potentially toxic compounds formed when drinking water is treated with disinfectants, such as chlorine or chloramine. A large proportion of the exposure to DBPs is still unknown and the health risks observed through epidemiological studies cannot be explained by DBPs known today. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bioassays for the determination of nitrification inhibition

    Author : Camilla Grunditz; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Requirements for nitrogen reduction in wastewater treatmentplants were introduced in Sweden in the early 1990’s. Thiswas a governmental move to reduce the nitrogen discharges tothe Baltic and Kattegatt in order to prevent eutrophication.The nitrification process in wastewater treatment plants isperformed by nitrifying bacteria.

  6. 4. Human adenoviruses : new bioassays for antiviral screening and CD46 interaction

    Author : Emma Andersson; Göran Wadell; Sigvard Olofsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; CD46; hemagglutination; antiviral; small molecule; screening; Virology; Virologi;

    Abstract : Adenoviruses are common pathogens all over the world. The majority of the population has at some point been infected with an adenovirus. Although severe disease can occur in otherwise healthy individuals an adenovirus infection is most commonly self limited in these cases. READ MORE

    Abstract : The organisation of fluids in small compartments is ubiquitous in nature, such as in the cellular composition of all life. This work explores several engineering avenues where microscale fluid compartmentalization can bring novel material properties or novel functionality in life sciences or medicine. READ MORE
