  1. 21. Binding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to organic soil horizons of peat and mor : effect of solution chemistry and soil organic matter composition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Jennifer Makselon; [2019]
    Keywords : sorption; electrostatic interactions; isotherms; partitioning coefficient; soil organic matter; cation; PFOS; PFOA; desorption;

    Abstract : The understanding of sorption processes of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soils is important for the determination of their fate and transport in the environment. The sorption behavior of PFASs of varying chain length and hydrophilic headgroup was studied in three organic soils, two peat soils and one mor layer, with differing chemical composition of the soil organic matter (SOM).

  3. 22. Counteraction of urea-induced protein denaturation by Trimethylamine N-oxide

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : CHRISTINA VANTARAKI; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A common consequence of protein denaturation is the loss of biological activity. Natural osmolytes such as Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) contribute to protein folding, whereas other osmolytes such as urea act as an agent in the denaturation of proteins. READ MORE

  4. 23. Adhesive Performance of UV-cured Clearcoat on Galvanized Steel

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Khanh Trinh; [2019]
    Keywords : galvanized steel; UV-cured coatings; adhesion; UV-lack; galvaniserat stål; ytbehandling; vidhäftning; egenskaper;

    Abstract : A study has been carried out regarding the possibility for application of UV-cured coatings on different pretreated galvanized steel, in coil coating application. In order to address the questions about whether the adhesion will be affected and how, when combining respective coating with a steel substrate. READ MORE

  5. 24. Formation of Monolayered Phospholipids using Molecular Dynamics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : Rebecka Lexelius; [2018]
    Keywords : phospholipids; lipids; DPPC; monolayer; molecular dynamics; MD; molecular dynamics simulation; GROMACS; biological membrane; lipid concentration; biophysics;

    Abstract : The very fundamental properties of biological membranes can be understood by studying their formation. This sets a good foundation for research related to how the membranes interact with organic molecules and ions; something of great value in the quest of explaining transport phenomena through cell membranes.

  6. 25. An experimental study of surface coatings to limit the impact of frosting

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Carl Andersson; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Heat pumps are commonly used as a way to efficiently meet heating demands. The efficiency and flexibility of Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) have improved in recent years and is an attractive heating solution suitable for houses with lower heating demands, as it is inexpensive to purchase and install compared to other heating solutions.
