  1. 1. Improving the Usability of Complex Life Science Software : Designing for a significant difference in skill among users in a scientific work domain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informatik och media

    Author : Erik Rabe; [2023]
    Keywords : Complex system; Scientific software; Experienced; Novice; Bioreactor; Usability;

    Abstract : The usability of complex scientific software is often lacking as it tends to not receive a high priority in development, in addition to the fact that developers are usually engineers with a low level of knowledge in usability areas. The study examines such a software in an environment with a significant difference in terms of user skill, which creates some issues in terms of improving usability. READ MORE

  3. 2. Production of succinic acid by Actinobacillus succinogenes in attached-growth bioreactors and dynamic modelling of biofilm formation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Henrik Östberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Actinobacillus succinogenes; Succinic acid; Biofilm; Attached-growth bioreactor; Dynamic modelling; Cell cultivation; Applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Actinobacillus succinogenes is a microorganism is a very efficient producer of succinic acid, a chemical with a wide range of industrial applications. The bacterium is prone to form biofilm, a flocculation of cells attached to a surface. READ MORE

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Viktor Börjesson; Oskar Gögelein; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Aortic valvular disease is a severe ailment that causes great suffering and many deaths worldwide. The exponentially increasing prevalence of the disease has accelerated the demand of a new functioning valve prosthesis. A new approach is to decellularize homograft heart valves, which has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials. READ MORE

  5. 4. Production, in vitro modification, and interaction analysis of a hydroxyproline-dependent protein

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Biokemi

    Author : Milica Plavsic; [2023]
    Keywords : protein production optimisation; recombinant expression; bioreactor; prolyl hydroxylase; liquid chromatography mass spectrometry; microscale thermophoresis;

    Abstract : The development of a biologic protein involves different stages and becomes a highly complex process which can be costly and time consuming to scale up for industrial production. Therefore, optimization is a necessary part of the production process development to lower the production expenses. READ MORE

  6. 5. Optimization of sterilization method for cultivation of filamentous fungi on lemon waste

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

    Author : Oliver Conradsson; David Ljungberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Lemon waste; lemon waste; sterilization; autoclavation; fungal cultivation; bubble column bioreactor; fungal biomass Rhizopus delemar;

    Abstract : Consumption of citrus fruits and citrus juice production creates wastes, which could be valorized by using it for cultivating fungi. Before cultivation, the medium needs to be sterilized though autoclavation. Larger volumes used when autoclaving requires longer heating cycles and therefore runs the risk of degrading the medium to a greater extent. READ MORE
