  1. 1. Concentration of Proteins and Decrease of Salt Content in a Hydrolyzed Fermentation Broth Using Membrane Filtration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Linnea Sjökvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Membrane filtration; ultrafiltration; PHA; polyhydroxyalkanoates; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Membrane filtration was used to concentrate proteins and decrease the salt concentration in a hydrolyzed fermentation broth. The broth was a by-product from the bacterial production and extraction of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), that can be used to produce biobased plastics. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biopolymers processed and used as enzyme carriers

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Dániel Mészáros; [2023]
    Keywords : Biobased materials; plasticized sodium alginate; water stability; extraction kinetics; enzyme carrier; Biobaserade material; Mjukgjort natriumalginat; Vattenstabilitet; extraktionskinetik; Enzymbärare;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta masterprojekt var att undersöka möjligheten att använda biobaserat, mjukgjort natriumalginat (NaAlg) som enzymbärare. Alginaterna görs traditionellt bearbetbara genom att tillsätta olika mjukgörare, såsom polyoler (glycerol, sorbitol, etc.), i detta arbete användes glycerol. READ MORE

  4. 3. Exploring GPT models as biomedical knowledge bases : By evaluating prompt methods for extracting information from language models pre-trained on scientific articles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ebba Hellberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Language model; GPT; knowledge probing; information extraction; prompt methods; Språkmodell; GPT; kunskapsbas; informationsextraktion; prompt-metoder;

    Abstract : Scientific findings recorded in literature help continuously guide scientific advancements, but manual approaches to accessing that knowledge are insufficient due to the sheer quantity of information and data available. Although pre-trained language models are being explored for their utility as knowledge bases and structured data repositories, there is a lack of research for this application in the biomedical domain.

  5. 4. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake

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

    Author : Sergio de La Cruz Padilla; [2023]
    Keywords : By-product; Rapeseed press cake; protein; Food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design and production of adeno-associated virus vectors for imaging mitochondrial networks in the brain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elnaz Samadian Zad; [2023]
    Keywords : adeno-associated virus; mitochondria; mitochondrial networks; imaging; fluorescent protein; synapsin promoter; human embryonic kidney cells; organoids;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that function in a complex interconnected network within the cell. Neurons are sensitive and highly energy demanding cells in the brain which require a functioning mitochondrial network that is able to provide ATP and modulate calcium. READ MORE
