  1. 21. Evaluating zinc content in aquatic ecosystem by estimating the responses of diatom biofilm to environmental and biological variables

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Anders Lundqvist; [2016]
    Keywords : bioindicator; biofilm; diatom; EPS; zinc; pH; light; nutrients; temperature; time; anion; cation; unstable conditions; cell size; community composition; detoxification mehcanism; bacteria; guild; species; phenotypic plasticity; cell wall; genetic adaptation; interactive model;

    Abstract : Zinc is a common essential metal. At too high exposure it will become toxic. Diatoms have a species-specific cell wall and they are easy to collect and to preserve. When exposed to environmental stress they could have teratological form, which is one of the reasons to have diatom as a bioindicator for metal contamination assessment. READ MORE

  3. 22. Virus Attenuation by Genome-Wide Alterations of Genomic Signatures

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Martin Holmudden; [2015-07-06]
    Keywords : genomic signatures; synthetic biology; algorithm; virus; vaccine;

    Abstract : Despite enormous efforts in biomedical research there is still a shortage of safe and efficacious viral vaccines. To develop a new vaccine is also costly and time consuming. We propose a synthetic biology approach for making viruses less harmful by making many small modifications to their genetic sequences. READ MORE

  4. 23. Stressfrakturer hos den elitidrottande hästen : potentiella benmarkörer för diagnos och prevention

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

    Author : Anna Pettersson; [2015]
    Keywords : katastrofskada; stressfraktur; kapplöpningshäst; elitidrottande häst; fullbod; benmarkör; träning; muskuloskeletal markör; catastrophic bone injury; stress fracture; race horse; equine athlete; Thorughbred; bone marker; exercise; musculoskeletal marker;

    Abstract : Muskuloskeletala skador är ett stort problem hos hästar som tränas och tävlas i kapplöpning, och orsakar smärta med påföljande hälta för individen och ger även ekonomiska förluster inom industrin. Av dessa är stressfrakturer i tredje metakarpalbenet distalt på frambenet vanligast och utgången är ofta katastrofal med avslut på karriären och i vissa fall slakt. READ MORE

  6. 25. Genetic differences in Lobesia botrana populations : related to host plant or geographic origin?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Sophia Döös; [2013]
    Keywords : Lobesia botrana; Grapevine moth; pest; vineyard; AFLP; SSR; population genetics; Daphne gnidium;

    Abstract : For the past six decades the model of geographical isolation has been dominating but recently there has been a renewed interest in the possibility of sympatric speciation. Races of phytophagous insects specializing on different species of host plants have often been studied for the purpose of solving the question of sympatric speciation. READ MORE
