  1. 16. Simulation of proteins in crowded environments using coarse-graining methods

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Björn Linse; [2016]
    Keywords : Proteins; atomistic model; multi-scale modelling; Monte Carlo simulation; relative entropy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Of increasing interest in the field of protein modelling and simulation is the effects of crowding. In a living cell, large molecules can take up 30% of the cell plasma volume, and affects the folding and dynamics of proteins. READ MORE

  3. 17. Tracing the Effects of Fiscal Policy on the Greek Macroeconomy: A Structural VAR Analysis

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Maria Dimou; [2015]
    Keywords : Structural Vector Autoregressions SVAR ; fiscal policy; fiscal multipliers; real effects;

    Abstract : This paper contributes towards extending previous work done on the estimation of the real effects of fiscal-policy shocks within the context of the Greek economy and, in so doing, focuses on the reaction of private consumption and investment. Special attention is also paid to the determination of the theoretical framework that best describes the properties of the data. READ MORE

  4. 18. A Monte Carlo study of the particle mobility in crowded nearly one-dimensional systems.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Ahlberg Sebastian; [2014]
    Keywords : Molecular crowding; Gillespie s algorithm; Random walk; Nearly 1D-model; Particle diffusion;

    Abstract : The study of crowding effects on particle diffusion is a large subject with implications in many scientific areas. The studies span from pure theoretical calculations to experiments actually measuring the movement of proteins diffusing in a cell. READ MORE

  5. 19. Comparison of Dental Side Effects between Two Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea - a pilot study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

    Author : Hans Nemeczek; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oral appliances (OAs) represent a widespread treatment modality for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OAs exist in many designs, but it is unknown if there are differences in terms of side effects between the various types. READ MORE

  6. 20. 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.
