  1. 1. Microfluidic sorting of sperm for assisted reproduction - An evaluation of ZyMōt multi sperm separation device

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Emma Olofsson; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : Assisted reproduction technologies Spermatozoa DNA fragmentation Density-gra- dient centrifugation Microfluidics ZyMōt Multi;

    Abstract : Infertility is a worldwide problem and the main reason for the use of assisted reproductive technol- ogy (ART). In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is one ART treatment normally used, where the fertilization of oocytes occurs in vitro. READ MORE

  3. 2. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Keywords : drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Exploring the diversity and distribution of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oilseed rape through molecular techniques

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Lamiya Tabussum; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a fungus with a broad host range, causes plant diseases, while its closely related counterpart, Sclerotinia subarctica, has a more limited host range and prefers colder environments. Sclerotinia stem rot is a disease caused by the fungus, leading to economic losses for farmers. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analysing rapeseed leaves from naturally infested fields in Skaraborg to detect Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using Nanopore sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Muhammad Siddiq; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Rapeseed is a versatile crop with significant economic value as fuel, food, and feed, contributing to farmers' income. However, its cultivation is often hindered by the devastating plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which infects numerous plant species, including rapeseed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Machine learning-assisted image analysis and metabarcoding for monitoring of plankton in the seas surrounding Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Karin Garefelt; [2023]
    Keywords : Imaging FlowCytobot; imaging-in-flow cytometry; plankton imaging; convolutional neural network; metabarcoding; Imaging FlowCytobot; flödesmikroskopi; övervakning av plankton; konvolutionella neuronnät; DNA-streckkodning;

    Abstract : I miljöövervakningen av haven runt Sverige har manuell mikroskopi av plankton länge varit den huvudsakliga tekniken för att övervaka växtplanktonbestånden och algblomningar. Nya tekniker utvärderas, men det är inte känt hur resultaten från de nyare teknikerna relaterar till varandra. READ MORE
