  1. 6. Green Protein Hydrogels and Non-dry Aerogels in Water Purification

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Emanuel Nelsson Vedung; Alexander Singh; Julia Wadefjord; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerogel; Hydrogel; Whey Protein Isolate; Water purification; Adsorption; Sustainability;

    Abstract : Having access to clean water is not a certainty for every human being. Today, there are major problems with polluted water that not just affect us humans, but also the ecosystem around us. In recent years, research into making aerogels from protein nanofibrils (PNF) has increased. READ MORE

  3. 7. The experience of adults patients in daily life after kidney transplantation : A descriptive literature review

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för vårdvetenskap

    Author : Li Chunyan; Yan Zhuofeng; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Kidney transplantation is the most common surgical treatment for patients with nephritis at this stage and is more effective than dialysis. Kidney transplantation may affect the patients’ quality of life. To improve patients' health and living standards, it is necessary for medical workers to pay attention to patients' experience.

  4. 8. Venous Component Separation From a Pulse Oximeter Signal using Blind Source Separation with Ultrasound Imaging as Reference

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Björn Walter; Stefan Piiroinen; [2021]
    Keywords : Photoplethysmogram; PPG; Ultrasound; Blind Source Separation; PCA; SOBI; venous component; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a major drawback of haemodialysis and occurs in more than every fifth dialysis treatment. There is a need for real-time measurement, with an ability to detect IDH before it occurs. Photoplethysmography (PPG) may provide sufficient information about hemodynamic status to prevent IDH.

  5. 9. Method development of an in vitro vertical Franz diffusion cell system to assess permeation of cosmetic active ingredients

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - Ångström

    Author : Johanna Mattiasson; [2020]
    Keywords : chemistry; method development; Upsalite; Disruptive Materials; Franz; diffusion; penetration; permeation; skin; pharmaceuticals; cosmeceuticals; skincare; cosmetics; actives; mesoporous; material chemistry; kemi; kosmetika; Upsalite; Disruptive Materials; Franzcell; diffusion; läkemedel; metodutveckling; hud; penetration;

    Abstract : For evaluation of potential skincare ingredients, an in-house method using Static Franz diffusion cells and dialysis membranes was developed. Benzoic acid was chosen as a model substance along with L-ascorbic acid and α-Tocopherol. The cell conditions were tailored to encourage transmembrane diffusion. READ MORE

  6. 10. Bindning av PFAS-ämnen till humus- och fulvosyror : en dialysstudie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Johannes Kikuchi; [2020]
    Keywords : PFOS; PFOA; sorption; kinetics; dissolved organic matter; natural organic matter; DOC; DOM; membrane;

    Abstract : To make more accurate predictions of the mobility of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil and water, better understanding of PFAS sorption to components of the terrestrial and aquatic systems is needed. This study investigated the possible sorption of a range of PFAS compounds with varying chemistries to humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) using a dialysis bag experimental set-up. READ MORE
