  1. 1. Far-field pattern synthesis of transmitarray antennas using convex optimization techniques

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Marie Defives; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied physics; Transmitarray antennas; convex optimization; Tillämpad fysik; Transmitarray-antenner; konvex optimering;

    Abstract : Transmitarrays antennas (TAs) can be seen as the planar counterpart of optical lenses. They are composed of thin radiating elements (unit cells) which introduce different local phase shifts on an incident electromagnetic wave, emitted by a primary source, and re-radiate it. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Stein Acker; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. READ MORE

  4. 3. Epigenetic and transcriptional effects of full-length LINE-1 retrotransposons in human neural progenitor cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Ninoslav Pandiloski; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TE) are parasitic genetic entities that have the ability to alter their position within a genome and have the potential to influence its functionality. Although TEs play beneficial roles in the evolution of their host, they are active in various human disorders including neurological diseases, where may contribute to the progress of the disease.

  5. 4. Selfish, mobile genes in honeybee gut bacteria

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Aleksei Põlajev; [2018]
    Keywords : lactobacillus kunkeei; transposon; transposase; mobile genetic element; pseudogenized; gut flora; symbiont; reduced genome; åland; gotland;

    Abstract : Transposons are selfish, mobile genetic elements, moving within the genome. The transposase genemakes this possible, as it codes for the enzyme that catalyzes the movement. In the case of bacteria,they can also move horizontally between individual bacteria, and sometimes even between species. READ MORE

  6. 5. A literature study on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) : classification, resistance mechanisms, risk factors and clonal distribution

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

    Author : Yusi Fang; [2015]
    Keywords : MRSP; resistance; dog; SCCmec; resistens; hund;

    Abstract : The increased frequency of reported Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is of great concern to small animal healthcare due to limited options of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this literature study is to investigate 1) characteristics and classification of S. READ MORE
