1. 1. Silk's sweet spot: untangling the requirements for artificial silk extrusion using a biomimetic approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : Rodrigo Sanches Pires; [2019]
   Keywords : silk fibroin; injectability; extrusion; hydrogels; soft matter mechanics; biomimetic progressive acidification; silk self-assembly; thioflavin t; physical chemistry; biofabrication; spectroscopy; silk spinning; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Up to this date, only a few silk hydrogels were reported to be injectable. Of these, none are truly biomimetic, and are instead comprised of blends with limited amounts of silk. Hence, no truly silk-based hydrogels exist as of today. READ MORE

3. 2. Near-local density approximation approach to one-dimensional lattice systems

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Basheer Joudeh; [2018]
   Keywords : DFT; Hartree; Hartree-Fock; LDA; BALDA; Mean-field; Hubbard; SOFT; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Describing many-body quantum systems has been an analytically and computationally challenging task since the advent of quantum mechanics. However, in the past 50 years as a result of our technological advancement and the emergence of methods such as density-functional theory (DFT), we have taken crucial steps forward regarding our ability to study and understand large quantum systems.
