  1. 1. A Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment Associated with Cross-Connections in the Drinking Water Network in Combination with Hydraulic Modeling

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fatin Alzuhairi; [2022]
    Keywords : EPANET; QMRA; Water distribution network; Health risk analysis; Cross-connections and backflow; Low pressure; Water quality; Simulation; Pathogen; EPANET; QMRA; vattendistributionsnät; hälsoriskanalys; korskoppling; lågtryck; vattenkvalitet; simulering; patogen;

    Abstract : Drinking water companies have the technology and responsibility to deliver safe and high-quality drinking water to the water distribution systems network (WDN). However, many events within the WDN, such as cross-connections and backflow, might degrade water quality and pose public health risks to consumers. READ MORE

  3. 2. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

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

    Author : Fuh-Tzu Yang; [2022]
    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  4. 3. Selective Inhibition of Metacaspase 4 in Arabidopsis Thaliana  

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Thilde Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Metacaspases are a recently discovered family of cysteine-dependent proteases present in plants, fungi, and lower eukaryotes. They are believed to be involved in regulated cell death in non-metazoan cells, but little is known about their distinct functional properties. READ MORE

  5. 4. Efficiency of diatom and flagellate-based marine food webs.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Yasmina Hamladji; [2021]
    Keywords : phytoplankton; flagellate; diatoms; ciliates food web efficiency; fungi;

    Abstract : Aquatic microbial food webs are in general size structured. Phytoplankton, which constitute the base of the food web, are grazed by protozoa and mesozooplankton, which in turn are consumed by planktivorous fish. Food web efficiency (FWE) is a measure of how efficiently energy is transported up the food web. READ MORE

  6. 5. Förekomst av bovin babesios i Sverige : en enkätstudie bland lantbrukare och veterinärer

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