1. 1. Automated pipeline for processing fluorescence calcium imaging microscopy data and electrophysiological measurements from 3D brain organoids

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Mattis Knulst; [2021]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Motivation: 3D brain organoids are biological models of human brain development from which a rich body of data can be extracted that allows for insights about neuronal dynamics. Several tools, such as fluorescence calcium imaging microscopy and electrophysiological recordings are being used to assess how 3D brain organoid dynamics recapitulate what is known from the human brain.

4. 3. The late Holoce 14C reservoir age in the Chukchi Sea as inferred from tephra in marine sediments

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

   Author : Aron Varhelyi; [2016]
   Keywords : Tephra; Aniakchak; Holocene; Chukchi Sea;

   Abstract : Volcanic ash, or tephra, blankets the local and regional landscape following a volcanic eruption. If this ash layer is preserved and identified, it can act as a time synchronous marker bed (isochron) for correlation between marine, terrestrial, glacial and lacustrine deposits. READ MORE

5. 4. Eastern oyster aquaculture : estuarine remediation via site suitability and spatially explicit carrying capacity modeling in Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Daniel Taylor; [2013]
   Keywords : oyster; eutrophication; aquaculture; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; GIS; shellfish; MCE; Chesapeake Bay; environmental modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Scientific summary Estuarine eutrophication, the systemic limitation of dissolved oxygen in a body of water, has been increasingly monitored and scrutinized as an environmental concern needing acute and long term remediation efforts. The driving factors of eutrophication are largely attributed to anthropogenic sources within the watershed, sources that are products of modern civilization. READ MORE
