1. 1. The influence of the built environment on the climate in different Swedish urban fabrics

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Reem Mutwali; [2023]
   Keywords : Urban heat island; Urban morphology; The urban weather generator;

   Abstract : The urban heat island effect is usually disregarded when considering energy-efficient measures for the built environment. This study aims to present and analyze the effect of the urban built environment on the Swedish urban climate. This analysis is done in terms of assessing the mean urban heat island and monthly average air temperature. READ MORE

3. 2. Parkinson’s disease tremor assessment: Leveragingsmartphones for symptom measurement

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DVMT)

   Author : Malek Abdul Sater; Reem Mohamed; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, chronic neurodegenerative disorder that impacts patients' quality of life. Hand tremor is a hallmark motor symptom of PD. However, current clinical tremor assessment methods are time-consuming and expensive and may not capture the full extent of tremor fluctuations. READ MORE

4. 3. Alignment of Image Sensor using Piezoelectric Crystals

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Julia Jakobsson; Reem Chahrour Muhieddine; [2023]

6. 5. Evolutionary History of Nickel-Dependent Enzymes : Implications for the Origins of Life.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Paleobiologi

   Author : Reem Hallak; [2021]
   Keywords : nickel; enzymes; redox; origin of life; LUCA; ancestral reconstruction; phylogeny; phyletic patterns;

   Abstract : Nickel enzymes have been suggested, through numerous phylogenetic studies, to have been among the very first catalytic compounds on the early Earth, possibly present in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) or prior to the onset of life. This is because of the type of reactions catalyzed by some of these enzymes, the nature of organisms that utilize them, their distribution in the tree of life, and their key roles in what is now thought of as possibly one of the oldest carbon fixation pathways, the Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) pathway.
