  1. 16. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Mawj Jasimalsalih; [2023]
    Keywords : Immunogenic Proteins; PrsA; MalX; Membrane Vesicles; Protein Properties; Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors;

    Abstract : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. READ MORE

  3. 17. Ligand-stimulated cleavage of PDGFR-beta

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Agni Karolina Tsiatsiou; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (α and β) are included in the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The dimeric PDGF ligands bind to the PDGF receptors and this results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, and thus activation. The autophosphorylated receptor dimer activates numerous signaling pathways. READ MORE

  4. 18. IMPLEMENTATION OF NITROGEN RECOVERY AT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS TO COMPLEMENT ARTIFICIAL FERTILISER PRODUCTION : An investigation of the nitrogen recovery potential, energy consumption and environmental impacts at Kungsängens wastewater treatment plant in Västerås, Sweden

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Cassandra Kestran; Olivia Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ammonia stripping; Eutrophication; Fertiliser production; Gas permeable membrane; Haber-Bosch; Nitrogen management; Nitrogen recovery technologies; Nitrogen removal; Reject water;

    Abstract : As Kungsängens wastewater treatment plant is considering a move, it opens up a possibility to implement nitrogen recovery technologies that comply with current and future legislative requirements. Nitrogen recovery offers simultaneous treatment of wastewater and collection of concentrated ammonia products for fertiliser production. READ MORE

  5. 19. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
    Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.

  6. 20. Investigation of flux dependence on viscosity in ultrafiltration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Peter Bourghardt; [2023]
    Keywords : ultrafiltration; viscosity; molasess; konjac glucomannan; comsol; LabStak M39; membrane; filtration; chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : This project aims to compare the effect of viscosity on flux for high viscosity liquids. The performance of two different viscous solutions was studied in a plate-and-frame membrane module. READ MORE
