2. 1. Microalgae : future bioresource of the sea?

   Author : Martin Olofsson; Catherine Legrand; Jukka Seppälä; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microalgae; algal cultivation; bioresource; bioenergy; CO2 mitigation; multi-species community approach; seasonal variation; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; Environmental technology; Miljöteknik;

   Abstract : Unicellular microalgae are a renewable bioresource that can meet the challenge forfood and energy in a growing world population. Using sunlight, CO2, nutrients,and water, algal cells produce biomass in the form of sugars, proteins and oils, allof which carry commercial value as food, feed and bioenergy. READ MORE

4. 2. Algal-Bacterial Photobioreactors for the Degradation of Toxic Organic Pollutants

   Author : Raul Munoz; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; symbiosis.; nutrient removal; heavy metals removal; Algal-bacterial systems photobioreactors; toxic organic pollutants;

   Abstract : The aerobic biodegradation of toxic organic volatile contaminants is always limited by the low aqueous solubility of O2. Therefore, intensive bubbling or surface aeration is required to supply the bacterial community with sufficient O2 to carry out pollutant mineralization. This can cause the hazardous volatilization of toxic volatile contaminants. READ MORE

5. 3. Valorisation of fish waste biomass through recovery of nutritional lipids and biogas

   Author : Betty Mbatia; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; by-products; value addition; EPA; DHA; PUFA; biogas;

   Abstract : Commercial fish catch in Eastern Africa is dominated by Nile Perch. Of the fish that is processed for human consumption, 30-40% is wasted. Currently, these wastes are not fully utilized; they are sold off at low price, converted to low valued products or left to decompose leading to environmental pollution and wastage of bioresource.

6. 4. Utilization of local bioresources for transport fuels - System analysis for decision support

   Author : Muhammad Arfan; Ola Eriksson; Jonas Ammenberg; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System analysis; local bioresources; transportation fuels; LCA; LCC; geography of transitions; Systemanalys; Lokala resurser; drivmedel; LCA; LCC; geografi och om-ställning;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive system analysis of the utilization of biowaste and forest industry residues to produce transportation fuels. It explores various aspects such as the constraints to the production system’s value chain development, the utilization of the geographical proximity of biofuel technology innovation system components, environmental impacts, and economic costs.

7. 5. Human leukocyte antigen in sickness and in health : Ankylosing spondylitis and HLA in Sweden

   Author : Jessika Nordin; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Jennifer Meadows; Matthew Webster; Alison Meynert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Disease genetics; Ankylosing spondylitis; HLA typing; Imputation; Inference; Sex-stratified; HLA-B*27 independent; Association tests; Functional validation; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) plays a major role in keeping us healthy, but some of the HLA alleles can contribute to disease susceptibility. One example is HLA-B*27, which confers increased susceptibility of ankylosing spondylitis and represents one of the strongest genetic associations found in any common human disease. READ MORE
