1. 31. Mapping spontaneous biological phosphorus removal in a membrane bioreactor process without the anaerobic condition : Investigating the effect of alternative external carbon sources

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ross Roberts; [2020]
   Keywords : enhanced biological phosphorus removal; PAO; anoxic; carbon source; ethanol; ORP;

   Abstract : Phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment is commonly achieved by chemical precipitation, enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) or a simultaneous combination of the two. A defined anaerobic condition is widely regarded as the critical element to sustain EBPR. However, this study demonstrates that EBPR is indeed occurring in a 4. READ MORE

3. 32. Protein environment and structure in neat and hydrated deep eutectic solvents

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Jenny Xiang; Medina Basic; [2020]
   Keywords : Deep eutectic solvents; proteins; BSA; lysozyme; choline chloride:glycerol; choline chloride:urea; choline acetate:glycerol; UV-Vis; fluorescence; FT-IR; hydrated deep eutectic solvents; pharmaceutical technology; läkemedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has a great potential in the pharmaceutical field due to its many advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability. Studies have also shown that proteins can be successfully incorporated into DESs. READ MORE

4. 33. Thermoset biopolymer reinforced with carbon-nanotubes

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Morteza Esmaeili; [2019]
   Keywords : biopolymers; bio-composites; glycerol lactic acid; carbon nanotube; reinforcement; thermoset; dispersion;

   Abstract : Compared to conventional fibers, carbon nanotubes possess several significant properties, which make them as an excellent alternative reinforcement in multi-functional material industry. In this study, the possibility of dispersion of the multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) in a thermoset bio-based resin (synthesized based on end-functionalized glycerol-lactic acid oligomers, GLA, at university of Borås) was investigated.

5. 34. Mechanical properties of films made of faba bean protein nanofiber and non-fibrillated protein

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Alice Dunge; [2019]
   Keywords : Faba bean; amyloid; fibrils; meat substitutes; elasticity; stiffness; proteins;

   Abstract : The production of livestock puts a huge strain on our ecosystem and the planet. It is the largest source of greenhouse gases and it causes loss in biodi-versity and pollution of water. One way to reduce these environmental dam-ages is to decrease the intake of meat and increase the intake of plant-based proteins. READ MORE

6. 35. Polycystic ovary syndrome : A Drosophila Melanogaster Melanogaster disease model induced by DHT and/or high sugar diet

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

   Author : Andreas Mlekov Andersson; [2019]
   Keywords : Polycystic ovary syndrome; PCOS; DHT; high sugar diet; drosophila melanogaster;

   Abstract : Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder with symptoms of hyperandrogenism, insulin-resistance and anovulation in women which creates a disposition for other disorders, like Type 2 Diabetes. Drosophila Melanogaster flies have short generation, low cost-management and share several signaling pathways with humans and are therefore an excellent tools to study disease aetiology – yet no such model exists for PCOS.
