  3. 7. Drivers of flower size evolution in the selfing species Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Clàudia Fernández Mestre; [2023]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; petal size; fitness; selection; evolutionary drivers; GWAS;

    Abstract : The influence of pollinators on the evolution of flower morphology has been extensively explored. Yet, the effect of other ecological factors, such as genetic drift, environmental filtering, and allometric constraints, gained less attention. In this study, we addressed the importance of those drivers in a predominantly selfing species. READ MORE

  4. 8. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE

  5. 9. Hur påverkas rönn, asp, sälg och ek av olika betestryck? : – en studie av säsongsmässig variation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Gunnar Hedin; [2023]

    Abstract : I Sverige är skogsbruket en stark näring och bedrivs på över 80 % av landets skogsmark. Skogsbruket är mycket produktionsinriktat varför miljömål likställts med produktionsmålen i 1993 års skogsvårdslag. READ MORE

  6. 10. Linking the selectivity of varying surface phases of a real palladium catalyst toward specific methane oxidation pathways with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Ulrike Küst; [2023]
    Keywords : APXPS; catalysis; palladium; methane; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The study of heterogeneous catalysis, especially within methane oxidation, is of high importance in order to more efficiently remove unburned methane from bio-fuel exhausts. This is relevant as bio-fuel engines will replace those driven by fossil fuels in the coming decades. READ MORE
