1. 1. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

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

   Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
   Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

3. 2. Numerical simulations of solute transport in microchannels impregnated with a biofilm

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Tim Berglund; [2023]
   Keywords : Biofilms; Numerical simulation; Solute transport;

   Abstract : The feasibility of simulating solute transport in a channel impregnated witha biofilm is investigated. Biofilm factors relevant for numerical simulation arestudied to determine a suitable range of simulation. READ MORE

4. 3. Produktion av biofilm med MRSA, MRSP eller Campylobacter jejuni, samt hur olika desinfektionsmedel påverkar den

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Moa Therése Viklund; [2022]
   Keywords : biofilm; destruktion av biofilm; Campylobacter jejuni; stafylokocker; MRSA; MRSP; desinfektion; rengöring; peroxymonosulfat buffrade syror; perättiksyra; väteperoxid; hypoklorsyra; etanol;

   Abstract : I denna studie ingick såväl produktion av biofilm i en statisk modell med mikrotiterplattor där biofilmen fick växa ostört i 5 dagar i inkubationsskåp i 30 °C, samt en mer dynamisk modell. I den dynamiska modellen ingick vattenledningsrör där buljong och bakterier växt i inkubationsskåp i 30 °C i 5 dagar för att sedan stå i rumstemperatur i ytterligare 5 dagar med daglig skakning i en timme, samt att buljong byttes ut vid dag 5 och nya bakterier tillsattes dag 7.

5. 4. OPERATION OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOSENSOR DEVELOPED FOR COVID-19 DETECTIONIN SARS-COV-2 FREE AND INFECTED HUMAN SALIVA

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV); Malmö universitet/Biofilms Research Center for Biointerfaces

   Author : Bashir Wakil; [2022]
   Keywords : x;

   Abstract : The demand for the improvement of currently available tests for qualitative non-invasive diagnostic of COVID-19, i.e., the development of new methods for fast, low-cost and accurate tests for the conformation of SARS-CoV-2, is increasing rapidly. READ MORE

6. 5. Improving the Efficiency of Thermal Energy Usage in Residential Buildings by Heat Recovery from Wastewater

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

   Author : Pranjal Jain; Khaled Alturkmani; [2021]
   Keywords : Wastewater; Heat Exchangers; Heat Pumps; Biofilms;

   Abstract : This study aims to rationalize the consumption of thermal energy in residential buildings by recovering heat from wastewater inside the building before entering the central sewage network outside the building, by conducting an analytical study for a residential tower in Syria to find out the coverage percentage of the heat energy recovered from wastewater for the heating and domestic hot water loads needed for the tower, and calculating the percentage of reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) gases. It is a simple technology as the thermal recovery system consists of three main components, which are in order: a wastewater tank, heat exchangers, and a heat pump. READ MORE
