2. 1. A computational approach to curvature sensing in lipid bilayers

   Author : Federico Elías-Wolff; Alexander Lyubartsev; Max Berkowitz; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; curvature sensing; membrane curvature; cardiolipin; amphipathic helix; symmetric multimers; lipid bilayer; molecular dynamics; Biophysics; biofysik;

   Abstract : Local curvature is a key driving force for spatial organization of cellular membranes, via a phenomenon known as membrane curvature sensing, where the binding energy of membrane associated macromolecules depends on the local membrane shape. However, the microscopic mechanisms of curvature sensing are not well understood. READ MORE

4. 2. Remote Sensing and GIS : Applications for Groundwater Potential Assessment in Eritrea

   Author : Semere Solomon; KTH; []
   Keywords : Remote sensing; Geographic Information Systems; groundwater; geomorphology; Digital elevation model; lithology; hard rock; lineament; structures; hydrogeology; Eritrea;

   Abstract : An integrated approach with remote sensing, GeographicInformation Systems (GIS) and more traditional fieldworktechniques was adopted to assess the groundwater potential inthe central highlands of Eritrea. Digitally enhanced colorcomposites and panchromatic images of Landsat TM and Spot wereinterpreted to produce thematic maps such as lithology andlineaments. READ MORE

5. 3. Novel Functionalized Nanopores for Plasmonic Sensing

   Author : Bita Malekian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; extinction spectra; nanopores; proteins; nanocaves; nanowells; surface plasmon resonance; nuclear pore complex; colloidal lithography; nanoplasmonic sensor; label-free sensing; electron beam lithography; plasmonic nanostructures;

   Abstract : Nanoplasmonic sensors offer a label-free platform for real-time monitoring of biomolecular interactions by tracking changes in refractive index through optical spectroscopy. However, other surface sensitive techniques such as conventional surface plasmon resonance offer similar capabilities with equal or even better resolution in terms of surface coverage. READ MORE

6. 4. Lightweight multifunctional composites : An investigation into ion-inserted carbon fibres for structural energy storage, shape-morphing, energy harvesting & strain-sensing

   Author : Ross Harnden; Dan Zenkert; Paolo Ermanni; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flyg- och rymdteknik; Aerospace Engineering;

   Abstract : The transport sector accounts for around 26% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union and United Kingdom. By reducing the mass of vehicles it is possible to reduce these emissions substantially.One way to reduce vehicle mass is to use multifunctional structures. READ MORE

7. 5. Techniques and Algorithms for Autonomous Vehicles in Forest Environment

   Author : Ola Ringdahl; Thomas Hellström; Jürgen Burstler; Hans Gripentrog; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Autonomous navigation; Robotics; Obstacle avoidance; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis describes an ongoing project of which the purpose is designing and developing techniques and algorithms for autonomous off-road vehicles. The focus is on some of the components necessary to accomplish autonomous navigation, which involves sensing and moving safely along a user-defined path in a dynamic forest environment. READ MORE
