  1. 6. Effects of temperature and microplastic concentration on the consumption of microplastic particles by the detritivore Asellus aquaticus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Yasmin Screech; [2023]
    Keywords : Microplastic; Asellus aquaticus; concentration; temperature; faecal pellets;

    Abstract : Microplastic (MP) pollution has now reached a point where particles can be found in every environmental compartment across the globe. However, the ecological and long-term consequences of MPs are largely unknown. READ MORE

  3. 7. Modelling the Occurrence and Fate of Microplastics Caused by Tyre Wear on Highway E18

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Aniruddha Kshirsagar; [2023]
    Keywords : Tyre Wear Plastics; stormwater system; Microplastics; settling; hetero-aggregation; modelling; Modellering; mikroplaster;

    Abstract : The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) are a growing concern for the environment, the maximum contributor to the MP pollution is tyre wear particles or TWPs. TWPs can accumulate in the environment and remain there for long periods of time and hence have the ability to disrupt ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 8. Mesoscale precipitation systems in the Tibetan Plateau region as represented by global reanalysis, regional downscaling and satellite data between 2001 - 2016

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Benjamin Holmberg; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : Tibetan Plateau; monsoon; westerlies; mesoscale; convection; precipitation; climate modelling; global reanalysis; regional downscaling; spatial resolution; re-initialization; spectral nudging; convective parameterization;

    Abstract : The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the world’s most important water towers. Convective precipitation systems play an important role by providing freshwater for the highly densely populated downstream regions, but they can also cause hazardous floods. READ MORE

  5. 9. Understanding sequence errors in analysis of short tandem repeats through optimisation of a library preparation protocol utilising unique molecular indices

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Nelly Gyllö Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : polymerase chain reaction; massively parallel sequencing; DNA analysis; short tandem repeats; DNA polymerase; unique molecular indices;

    Abstract : In the last few years massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has become important for forensic DNA analysis by providing new and broader possibilities, such as increased discrimination power for short tandem repeat (STR) analyses. An imperative part of MPS analysis is library preparation where there is a fundamental reliability on in vitro DNA polymerisation, which is prone to errors. READ MORE

  6. 10. Predicting Political Party Affiliation in the Swedish Parliament using Natural Language Processing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Johannes Zetterberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; support vector machines; naive Bayes; transformer; BERT; text classification; NLP;

    Abstract : Text classification is a fundamental part of natural language processing. In this thesis, methods for text classification are used in an attempt to predict the political party affiliation of members of parliament (MPs). READ MORE
