  1. 21. An in vitro model for studying gene expression in Parascaris univalens larvae

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Sofia Jonsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Parascaris univalens; equine roundworm; Parascaris; Parascaris univalens larvae; anthelmintic resistance; drug metabolism; gene expression; in vitro model; ivermectin.;

    Abstract : Parascaris univalens, equine roundworm, is a large nematode infecting young horses and causes respiratory syndromes, impaired condition and reduced growth. Adults can reach up to 50 cm in length and heavy infection can lead to obstruction and rupture of the small intestines due to the worm’s size. READ MORE

  3. 22. Phase stability and mechanical properties of M4AlB4 (m=Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, Ti, V, W, Zr) from first principles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tunnfilmsfysik

    Author : Adam Carlsson; [2019]
    Keywords : MAB phase Cr4AlB4 Stability dynamical thermodynamical mechanical;

    Abstract : The recent discovery of Cr4AlB4, a laminated ternary metal boride belonging to the family of layered MAB-phases, where the transition metal boride layers are interleaved by an A layer, has spurred theoretical investigation for novel M4AlB4 phases. In this study, first-principles calculations were applied in order to investigate the thermodynamical stability and mechanical properties of M4AB4 where M = Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, Ti, V, W, Zr while the A layer was kept fixed as Al.

  4. 23. Size optimization of constructed wetlands for phosphorus retention in agricultural areas

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Anna Ferguson; [2019]
    Keywords : hydraulic load; digital elevation models; catchment;

    Abstract : Eutrophication is one of the main threats to the Baltic Sea and Sweden is not expected to reach its environmental target of No Eutrophication by 2020. Phosphorus (P) lossfrom terrestrial systems is one of the principal causes of eutrophication in water recipients and the need to decrease P loss from agricultural land is pressing. READ MORE

  5. 24. Drivers of domestic cat movement in Scotland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Fiona White; [2019]
    Keywords : Domestic cat; movement; Scotland; Scottish wildcat; conservation; GPS;

    Abstract : Free-roaming domestic cats are an increasing concern for biodiversity conservation. Cats prey on wildlife, spread disease and breed with native wildcat species leading to hybridisation. It is therefore useful to know what factors influence the movement of domestic cats. READ MORE
