Many water treatment processes used to improve the quality of drinking- and wastewater directly or indirectly affect, or are affected by, the activity of microbes. These activities can improve water quality, presenting sustainable alternatives to mechanical or chemical processes. As water is distributed, it is also changed by microbes. Harnessing the potential of microbes to improve water quality
Despite new therapies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still incurable. Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a well-characterized cell surface protein involved in prostate cancer pathogenesis, differentially expressed during transition from hormone-sensitive to CRPC. This study aimed to investigate ICAM-1 as a target for imaging and radioimmunotherapy of CRPC.Anti-ICAM-1 an
Depletion of easily accessible fossil energy resources, threat of climate change and political priority to achieve energy self-sufficiency and sustainable solutions prioritize a conscious and smart use of renewable resources to generate a bio-based economy. Bio-based compounds can replace chemicals and fuels that are now mainly produced from crude oil. Efficient processes for the conversion of pla
The transport of heat from hot to cold mediums is called heat transfer. It can be used for either heating or cooling machines, electronics food, etc. in industry. Examples are the cooling of a car engine or recovering heat from a power plant turbine. In these types of applications, it is practical to use fluids of high heat capacity as mediums for transferring heat as this means they that they are
Antikroppar har ett brett användningsområde med stor potential men det är svårt att skapa stabila lösningar. Den strukturella stabiliteten är en viktig faktor när man väljer läkemedelskandidater, och i de tidiga utvecklingsstadierna görs prediktiva undersökningar för att ta reda på varje kandidats stabilitet och utvecklings-potential. Därmed är det av största intresse att utvärdera hur antikropparA great challenge during early development of medicinal antibodies is to determine the stability of the candidates. This is required to be able to select the candidates with the greatest developability. The stability of the candidates can be estimated using different orthogonal techniques and the aim of this investigation was thus to use orthogonal techniques for the investigation of conformationa
This paper is based on the keynote talk that I gave on the EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015 Workshop in Edinburgh. A starting point for the talk was the theme for the Workshop: “Research-minded: supporting, understanding, conducting research”. Some features of qualitative research are presented and a number of methodsare mentioned before zooming in on interviewing, discussing some aspects of that method wit
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this thesis revolves around investigating which factors a company should consider when attempting to dual brand a wide array of products. Methodology: Our thesis intends to investigate the opinions of dual branding among FMCG companies within the Swedish market. We have conducted a qualitative approach, consisting of interviewing five marketing practitioners, mostly
Background: Anterior resection has the benefit of enabling bowel continuity, but suffer from a common complication in anastomotic leakage.There is a paucity in previous research of long-term implications of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection.Aims: To gain general knowledge of the morbidity related to anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer, specific aims were:I.To
Background: Liposuction for International Society of Lymphology (ISL) late stage II or III limb lymphedema is an established surgical option to remove excessive adipose tissue deposition and has been performed in Australia since 2012 at the Australian Lymphoedema Education, Research and Treatment (ALERT) Program, Macquarie University.Patients and methods: Between May 2012 and May 2017, 72 patients
