  1. 1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  3. 2. Transient state UV spectroscopy of Tyrosine and Tyrosine-containing protein

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Hongjian Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : Tyrosine; Calmodulin; Autofluorescence; Transient-state monitoring; Electronic state transitions; Tyrosin; Calmodulin; Autofluorescens; Transient-tillståndsövervakning; Elektroniska tillståndsövergångar;

    Abstract : The aromatic amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine have been extensively used for different label-free protein studies. These investigations extract information on protein conformations and interactions from the emitted fluorescence's intensity, wavelength, and/or polarization. READ MORE

  4. 3. Developments Towards High-Resolution Muonic Atom X-ray Spectroscopy of Low-Z Elements : For precision measurements of absolute nuclear charge radii

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Benjamin Verbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : muon physics; subatomic physics; charge radius; nucleus; lithium; silicon drift detector; microcalorimeter;

    Abstract : This Master's thesis investigates a method to measure atomic nuclei with record precision using muonic atom X-ray spectroscopy. In particular, 6Li is measured experimentally. The method used is independent from the previous most precise measurement of the 6Li nuclear charge radius which uses electron scattering. READ MORE

  5. 4. Historical mining of Fe-Ca ore in Garpenberg, Sweden. : A study based on lake sediment geochemistry from Finnhytte-dammsjön.

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

    Author : Morgan Eliasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Paleolimnology; Lake sediment; XRF; Garpenberg; Mining history;

    Abstract : It is well established that mining and metallurgy on a larger scale in Sweden originated in Bergslagen. The historical mining district Garpenberg in Bergslagen presently show the oldest signs of mining in Sweden (2300 BP) based on a study of a lake sediment profile from Gruvsjön. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mercury accumulation in lake sediments on different time scales – the influence of algal primary production

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

    Author : Anne Rebotzke; [2023]
    Keywords : mercury; lake sediment; primary productivity; algal scavenging; biogenic silica; diatom proxy; chlorophyll-a; organic matter;

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to test the proposed approach of algal scavenging as a driver of sediment mercury (Hg) on different time scales and to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of Hg accumulation in lake sediments. A 3000-year sediment record from Nylandssjön in northern Sweden was analysed for this purpose, as well as a 20-year sediment record from the seasonal sediment traps of this lake. READ MORE
