  1. 1. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian; Amira Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade project; Diffraction grating; Artificial spider silk; Climate change; Geoengineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.

  3. 2. Sortase A coupling of the recombinant partial silk proteins 4Rep-Srt and G-/G5-CT to understand the structure of silk fiber

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Ellen Adlerz; [2023]
    Keywords : 4RepCT; 4Rep-Srt; G- G5-CT; Sortase A coupling; recombinant silk protein; 4RepCT; 4Rep-Srt; G- G5-CT; Sortase A-koppling; rekombinant silkesprotein;

    Abstract : Spindelsilke är ett intressant material på grund av dess biokompatibilitet och därav användning som biomaterial. Det är jämförbart med konstgjorda material när det gäller styrka och elasticitet, och i kombination med biokompatibiliteten, är spindelsilke eftertraktat inom det medicinska området. READ MORE

  4. 3. The ito element: unravelling the thread in kanji

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Japanska

    Author : Erik Sandling; [2023]
    Keywords : Japanese; kanji; radical; element; ito-hen; ito; thread; textile; learning; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : This paper is the first exhaustive investigation of a single kanji component: the ito element. Although, this element generally refers to thread or textile, the study examined this relationship and found a strong relationship to silk, cocoons, and craft—particularly weaving. READ MORE

The MSR is investigated in a geopolitical and Neo colonial perspective. READ MORE

  6. 5. Recombinant production of spider silk for enzymatic phosphorylation

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Kristel Jaiu; [2022]
    Keywords : Caddisfly larval silk; FN-4RepCT; phosphorylation; protein kinase A; recombinant spider silk; Nattsländesilke; FN-4RepCT; fosforylering; proteinkinas A; rekombinant spindeltrådsilke;

    Abstract : Ett rekombinant framställt miniatyrspindelsilkeprotein, funktionaliserat med ett Arg-Gly-Asp-motiv som finns i fibronektin, FN-4RepCT, har använts för många olika bioteknologiska tillämpningar, som vävnadsteknik och cellodling, i form av fibrer, filmer och skum. FN-4RepCT kan produceras i Escherichia coli, och det interagerar spontant med sig självt och bildar fibrer under fysiologiska förhållanden. READ MORE
