Microalgal feedstock are gaining more and more attention due to a wide range of potential and emerging commercial and industrial applications, from biofuel production to nutrition, cosmetics and pigment extraction among others. The presence and roles of mannans and endomannanases in three industrially relevant microalgaes were studied in this project. Chlorella vulgaris has seven putative endomann

Miljöanpassad offentlig upphandling betraktas idag som en viktig del i främjandet av en positiv miljö- och samhällsutveckling. Detta beror dels på den offentliga upphandlingens stora ekonomiska betydelse, dels på att miljöhänsyn är en aspekt av offentlig upphandling som tillmäts allt större betydelse.

By imposing environmental requirements, contracting authorities can affect the supply

The nasal route is a convenient and simple way to administer peptides to humans. Absorption of the drug, however, requires passage of the substance through the nasal mucosa. This is a possible site of enzymatic degradation of the peptide. It is shown that rabbit nasal mucosa homogenates rapidly degrade the synthetic anti-diuretic hormone analogue desamino1,D-arginine8-vasopressin in vitro. The met

Mellan 1983 och 2009 pågick en konflikt mellan de srilankesiska säkerhetsstyrkorna och den separatistiska organisationen Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) i den nordöstra delen av Sri Lanka.

Den särskilda utskrivningsprövningen inom den rättspsykiatriska vården har varit omdiskuterad under en längre tid. Flera statliga utredningar har gjorts och en del uppmärksammade fall med lagöverträdare som suttit inom vården uppemot 20 år har skapat en het debatt. Denna uppsats ger en närmare inblick i systemet kring särskild utskrivningsprövning och vilka intressen som är centrala när bedömninga

The European Union is a union comprised of 28 European member states but its influence stretches past their traditional borders. Through its enlargement mechanism, the EU exports influence and social order to the candidate countries in the form of calls for reform which would bring them closer to the EU, structurally, economically and culturally, with the end goal being membership in the EU. This

This report deals with fully developed fires in compartments where the boundary structure is made of mineral wool and plasterboard. The project was initiated due to new Swedish regulations (BBR 94) that allow buildings with wood structure to be built more than two storeys high. The temperature-timecurves in this report are computed according to authorized methods used in Sweden (method I and metho

Skjutbanor klassas av svensk miljölagstiftning som miljöfarlig verksamhet till följd av utsläpp av fasta ämnen, främst bly och PAH. I Sverige finns det totalt ca 5000 aktiva skjutbanor och många fler nedlagda. Den som bedriver en verksamheten måste skaffa sig kunskap om hur verksmaheten påverkar människors hälsa och miljön. Dock förekommer det kunskapsluckor hos de som bedriver verksamhet på skjut

The purpose of this thesis with the conversion of the industrial press for centrumbrick on Höganäs Bjuf AB was to improve the security for the work- and maintenance personnel.

The aim of the study was to investigate how women exposed to violence in close relationships portray their experiences in autobiographies, to generate understanding of what is significant in their choice to stay or leave the relationship. To investigate this phenomenon, the following questions have been used as starting points: (1) How are the women’s inclination to report the perpetrator describe

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att reda ut huruvida kritiken mot ISDS är befogad, hur kritiken har bemötts från politiker, och hur framtiden ser ut för detta kontroversiella tvistlösningssystem. ISDS har inkluderats, under nytt namn och med vissa påstådda förbättringar, i frihandelsavtalet CETA som EU förhandlat fram med Kanada och förväntas inkluderas även i ett eventuellt frihandelsavtal med US

Strategic planning is meant to guide for the long-term, which makes it vulnerable to trends in urban planning. If a trend or a theory is not researched for the typology where it will be used, the consequences will be unknown. This makes it important to understand how planners translate academic theories into strategies for local planning. By researching the municipality of Borås, Sweden, through i
