    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sjöberg; [2023]
    Keywords : anaerobic bacteria; biogas; cellulose; cellobiose; VFA; enzyme activity; TRFLP;

    Abstract : Two cellulose degrading bacteria, named BCISO-4 and DC1-18-4, were isolated from samples retrieved from two large scale biogas-plants. In order to investigate and determine information regarding their growth preferences multiple tests were performed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of the DXA radiation environment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

    University essay from

    Author : Saga Söderholm; [2022-05-18]
    Keywords : Medical physics; DXA; DEXA; Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; Bone mineral density;

    Abstract : Purpose: The aims of this work were to evaluate the radiation environment in the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) rooms at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, estimate personnel doses, determine legal requirements for DXA personnel, examine the operators’ view on radiation safety and develop material with dose information for patients and operators. Theory: DXA is a low dose X-ray modality mainly used in osteoporosis examinations, for which it is considered the reference technique. READ MORE

  4. 3. High-loaded thermophilic anaerobic digestion of mixed sewage sludge : A pilot study
