1. 1. Amyloid Nucleation in Presence of Crowders

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Jonas Wessén; [2014]
   Keywords : nucleation; molecular self-assembly; protein physics; statistical mechanics; thermodynamics; fibrilation kinetics; Monte Carlo; Huntington s; Parkinson s; Alzheimer s; molecular crowding; amyloid fibrils; amyloid; protein aggregation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : During the last few years, crowding effects on the physics of proteins has become an increasingly popular topic of research. This is is because most biological processes involving proteins naturally take place in a crowded environment, e.g. in the cellular environment where macromolecules may occupy 30% of the volume.

3. 2. Dark Matter Signatures in Cosmic Gamma-Rays

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Jonas Wessén; [2012]
   Keywords : gravitino; 130 GeV line; IACT; MAGIC; indirect dark matter detection; decaying dark datter; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis concentrates on one of the indirect Dark Matter (DM) detection methods, namely through observations of Very High Energy (VHE) $\gamma$-ray signals from DM annihilation (or decay) in cosmic sources using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT). We discuss the particle physics and astrophysical aspects of those observations and perform several calculations which lead to an estimation of the DM detection prospects for IACTs. READ MORE
