Buffer management for biopharmaceutical purification processes include buffer preparation, storage of buffers and restocking the buffers when needed. This is usually performed manually by the operators for small scale operations. However, buffer management can become a bottleneck when running integrated continuous purification processes for prolonged times, even at small scale. To address this iss
Semiconductor quantum dot (QD) sensitization is one of the most attractive structures to employ QDs for photovoltaic application. The function of QD sensitized solar cells (QDSSC) is controlled by the interfacial charge transfer dynamics. Here we employ transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) to assess charge transfer dynamics at CdS QD/TiO2 interface, and correlate their dynamics with their solar
BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease is considered to be a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis with associated adverse cardiovascular and limb events. Data from previous trials have suggested that patients receiving clopidogrel monotherapy had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those receiving aspirin. We wanted to compare clopidogrel with ticagrelor, a potent antiplatelet agent, in
Background:The known genetic causes for Parkinson’s disease (PD) onlyexplain a small proportion of the familial aggregation of PD. Despiteintensive efforts by researchers internationally, identifying and confirmingadditional monogenic causes for PD has been difficult.Methods:We examined 16 members of a large family with multi-incidentPD and dementia. Eight members were examined by whole exome (WES
Valdivia Bank (VB) is a Late Cretaceous oceanic plateau formed by volcanism from the Tristan-Gough hotspot at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). To better understand its origin and evolution, magnetic data were used to generate a magnetic anomaly grid, which was inverted to determine crustal magnetization. The magnetization model reveals quasi-linear polarity zones crossing the plateau and following ex
The aim of this study was to quantify bisphenol A (BPA) concentrations in saliva and urine before and after treatment with dental polymer-based restorative materials to assess if placement of this material is associated with increased BPA levels in saliva and urine. Twenty individuals in need of at least one dental restoration with polymer-based restorative material were included in this study. Th
Many induced mutants are available in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). One of the largest groups of induced mutants is the Erectoides (ert) mutants, which is characterized by a compact and upright spike and a shortened culm. One isolated mutant, ert-k.32, generated by X-ray treatment and registered in 1958 under the named “Pallas”, was the first ever induced barley mutant to be released on the market.
Bulged-out nucleotides or internal loops are present in the stem-loop structures of several antisense RNAs. We have used the antisense/target RNA system (CopA/CopT) that controls the copy number of plasmid R1 to examine the possible biological function of bulged-out nucleotides. Two regions within the major stem-loop of the antisense RNA, CopA, carry bulged-out nucleotides. Base pairing in either
Digital healthcare services and digital health information, here called eHealth services, have the potential to reach people with diverse needs as both a complement to and a substitution for traditional healthcare. The access to and use of digital health information and digital healthcare services that are accessible and usable for people with impairments is a complex phenomenon.This potential is
There is little published research on dissociative experiences among transgender people, and none from an in-depth qualitative perspective. In-depth, open-ended interviews (N = 7, 6 trans women, 1 trans man) were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced (particularly among trans women)and its possible relation to negative emotions. There were several similarities across the dissociativ
The variable presentation of clinical disease in pediatric patients with congenital and acquired heart disease makes standardized care challenging. This is further enforced by the ongoing growth and remodeling of the heart and vasculature in the individual child and the multitude of available treatment options. The clinical challenge is rather to individualize treatment based on all available info
Remembering Classical Scandinavia in Britain, 1760–1830 explores the use of Scandinavian themes in British culture in the decades around 1800. It offers new paradigms for how cultural texts engage with the classical Scandinavian past, historiographically and thematically. The classical Scandinavian past was the subject of intense interest during the period but often also coupled with a sense that
This paper addresses synchronization of Euclidean transformations over graphs. Synchronization in this context, unlike rendezvous or consensus, means that composite transformations over loops in the graph are equal to the identity. Given a set of non-synchronized transformations, the problem at hand is to find a set of synchronized transformations approximating well the non-synchronized transforma
The recent history of the Ukrainian authoritarian far right is one of paradoxes. If one looks at the polls, it has performed poorly; its modest successes have been regional and short-lived. On the other hand, it has been highly successful in terms of shaping memory politics in the country. It has had a disproportional influence on history writing, having invested significant efforts into building
This thesis investigates superfluidity in exotic phases of ultracold bosonic gases, namely self-bound droplets, mixed bubbles, and dipolar supersolids. We investigated these systems analytically and numerically using an extended Gross-Pitaevskii and Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism. The dissertation offers six chapters, providing the necessary derivations to build the required background and underst
In trying to get products out to the market in promotional or display packaging, companies have the option of turning to a contract packager. The purpose of this thesis is to present the area of contract packaging, specifically discussing the internal factors that make a contract packager an attractive actor to outsource packaging of products to and also to find out how a contract packager can aff
Popular Abstract in Swedish Markfosfor och mångfald av växter i svenska gräsmarker – en populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Olika typer av gräsmarkshabitat innehåller en stor och viktig del av mångfalden av växtarter i Skandinavien och i norra Europa. En stor del av arterna är knutna till kulturlandskapet och des's äldre hävdformer. Förändringar i användning och skötsel av gräsmarkerna under detThe semi-natural grassland habitats contain an important part of the plant diversity in Europe. Changes in farming practices have lead to drastic decreases in plant species richness. The aim of the present thesis is to contribute to the knowledge about mechanisms governing the plant species richness in grasslands with emphasis on soil nutrients. Most species rich grasslands are found on soils with
