2. 1. Large-scale Runoff Generation and Routing : Efficient Parameterisation using High-resolution Topography and Hydrography

   Author : Lebing Gong; Sven Halldin; C.-Y. Xu; Allan Rodhe; Thorsten Wagener; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parameterisation; runoff generation; routing; WASMOD-M; hydrography; data uncertainty; topographic index; scale; river network; response function; HydroSHEDS; HYDRO1k; Dongjiang basin; Parametrisering; avrinningsbildning; flödessvarstid; WASMOD-M; hydrografi; topografiskt index; dataosäkerhet; skala; flödesnät; svarstidssfunktion; HYDRO1k; HydroSHEDS; Dongjiang; Hydrology; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

   Abstract : Water has always had a controlling influence on the earth’s evolution. Understanding and modelling the large-scale hydrological cycle is important for climate prediction and water-resources studies. READ MORE

4. 2. Lignin Conversion to Value-Added Small-Molecule Chemicals : Towards Integrated Forest Biorefineries

   Author : Omar Y. Abdelaziz; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aromatic monomers; biorefinery; catalysis; kraft lignin; lignin depolymerization; lignin valorization; microbial conversion; renewable chemicals; techno-economic analysis;

   Abstract : Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on Earth and has significant potential as a feedstock for industrial use. Due to its intrinsic heterogeneity and recalcitrance, lignin has been regarded as a low-value side-product in the pulp and paper industry and in second-generation biorefineries. READ MORE

5. 3. Advanced silicon photoelectrodes for water splitting devices : design, preparation and functional characterization by photo-electrochemistry and high-energy X-ray spectroscopy

   Author : Anurag Y. Kawde; Johannes Messinger; Pieter Glatzel; Thomas Jaramillo; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photoelectrochemical cell; photoelectrodes; solar-water splitting; artificial photosynthesis; X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy;

   Abstract : For the last century, mankind has been hugely dependent on fossil fuels to meet its energy needs. Harnessing energy from fossil fuels led to the emission of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as CO2 are a major contributor to global warming. READ MORE

6. 4. Molecular Interplay of Antibiotics on the Bacterial Ribosome

   Author : Narayan Prasad Parajuli; Suparna Sanyal; Michael Y. Pavlov; Chandra Sekhar Mandava; Axel Innis; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ribosome; Translation; Antibiotics; Aminoglycoside; Thermorubin; Protein synthesis; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Inhibition of protein synthesis is one of the most common modes of action for medically useful antibiotics. This thesis presents the mechanistic studies of two chemically distinct classes of antibiotics that target bacterial ribosomes –aminoglycosides and thermorubin. READ MORE

7. 5. Endogenous modulators of hyperexcitability in epilepsy: electrophysiological and optogenetic delineation of neuropeptide Y mechanisms in interneurons

   Author : Marco Ledri; Lund Neurologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; interneurons; Epilepsy; Neuropeptide Y; synaptic transmission; synaptic plasticity; electrophysiology; optogenetics;

   Abstract : Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide, affecting 1% of the general population, and is characterized by a predisposition for the generation of epileptic seizures. Despite having several different aetiologies, a common underlying cause of epilepsy seems to be an acquired imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the brain, which leads to hyperexcitability and appearance of seizures.
