2. 1. Ethanol production by recombinant and natural xylose-utilising yeasts

   Author : Anna Eliasson; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lignocellulose; electron transport; redox balance; Pichia stipitis; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; ethanol; xylose; physiology; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : The xylose-fermenting capacity of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying XYL1 and XYL2 from Pichia stipitis, which encode xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, is poor due to high xylitol formation. Whereas, P. READ MORE

4. 2. Effect of Substrate on Bottom-Up Fabrication and Electronic Properties of Graphene Nanoribbons

   Author : Konstantin Simonov; Olof Karis; Nils Mårtensson; Alexei Preobrajenski; Alessandro Baraldi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graphene nanoribbons; bottom-up; substrate; metal contact; electronic structure; electron doping; PES; ARPES; NEXAFS; STM; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

   Abstract : Taking into account the technological demand for the controlled preparation of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with well-defined properties, the present thesis is focused on the investigation of the role of the underlying metal substrate in the process of building GNRs using bottom-up strategy and on the changes in the electronic structure of GNRs induced by the GNR-metal interaction. The combination of surface sensitive synchrotron-radiation-based spectroscopic techniques and scanning tunneling microscopy with in situ sample preparation allowed to trace evolution of the structural and electronic properties of the investigated systems.

5. 3. Electron tomography and optical modelling for organic solar cells

   Author : Viktor Andersson; Olle Inganäs; Joachim Loos; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Organic solar cells; Electron tomography; Optical modelling;

   Abstract : Organic solar cells using carbon based materials have the potential to deliver cheap solar electricity. The aim is to be able to produce solar cells with common printing techniques on flexible substrates, and as organic materials can be made soluble in various solvents, they are well adapted to such techniques.

6. 4. Caloramator Boliviensis, a New Thermoanaerobe with Interesting Metabolic Properties

   Author : Carla Crespo; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Caloramator boliviensis; catabolic flexibility; ethanol production; butyrate-based lactate; wide substrate utilization range; metabolic shift; carbon and electron balance; functional genome annotation;

   Abstract : A novel ethanol-producing thermoanaerobe Caloramator boliviensis 45BT (=DSM 22065T, =CCUG 57396T) was isolated from a hot spring of the Bolivian highlands. C. READ MORE

7. 5. Simulation of runaway electron generation during plasma shutdown by impurity injection

   Author : Tamás Fehér; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; disruption mitigation; fusion plasma physics; impurity injection; runaway electron; tokamak;

   Abstract : Disruptions are dangerous instabilities in tokamaks that should be avoided or mitigated. One possible disruption mitigation method is to inject impurities into the plasma to shut it down in a controlled way. Runaway Electrons (REs) can be generated after the plasma is cooled down bythe impurities and these electrons can damage the tokamak. READ MORE
