  1. 1. Development and validation of a novel quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Josefine Sundgren; [2020]
    Keywords : HIV-1; qPCR; Octapharma; Taqman; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. READ MORE

  3. 2. Flavour-ordering in the nonlinear sigma model with more derivatives and legs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Mattias Sjö; [2019]
    Keywords : Particle physics; effective field theory; QCD; mesons; amplitudes; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. READ MORE

  4. 3. Spatial distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in sediments contaminated by fiber material from pulp and paper industries

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

    Author : Gabriel Dupaul; [2018]
    Keywords : PCB; DDT; HCB; fiberbank; fiber-rich sediment; sediment; Sweden; Västernorrland; Ångermanälven; Gulf of Bothnia; Baltic sea;

    Abstract : Sweden has had a long history of forestry activities together with pulp and paper operations. Historical discharges of organic-rich wastewater from pulp and paper factories have resulted in formation of large fiberbanks on the seafloor, which lately have been found to be contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

  5. 4. Chiral Perturbation Theory for Neutron-Antineutron Oscillations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Erik Kofoed; [2016]
    Keywords : Neutron-antineutron Oscillations; Baryon Number Violation; Chiral Perturbation Theory; Effective Field Theory; Spurions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis treats neutron-antineutron oscillations in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. An effective Lagrangian, using mesons and nucleons as degrees of freedom, is constructed to capture the low-energy behavior of the effective six-quark operators, which is the set of higher dimensional operators that can induce neutron to antineutron transitions at the quark level.

  6. 5. Phosphorus Removal from Domestic Wastewater Using Dual Reactive Materials Polonite® and Absol®.

    University essay from KTH/Miljögeokemi och ekoteknik

    Author : Soheil Fatehi Pouladi; [2011]
    Keywords : Polonite; Absol; Domestic wastewater; Phosphorus removal; Reactive filter material; Soil infiltration bed;

    Abstract : Private wastewater treatment facilities release tons of phosphorus to the aquatic environment due to the insufficient removal efficiency in conventional soil infiltration systems. Reactive filter materials have demonstrated promising P removal rates. READ MORE
