We study the effects of macromolecular crowding with interacting crowders in the simple HP-model of protein folding, by performing Monte Carlo simulations of a single flexible HP protein in the presence of folded rigid crowders. In contrast to the well-known stabilization of steric crowders, we find that interacting crowders usually destabilize the test protein, often significantly so. As such, ca

År 2014 utfördes vegetationsborttagning på en del av sanddynerna i den södra delen av Ängelholms strand. Arbetet utfördes som en del av Projekt Sand Life, ett EU-projekt med avsikt att öka den biologiska mångfalden i svenska sandmarksområden. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur borttagningen av strandvegetationen har påverkat områdets morfologi och utveckling från ingreppet fram tills In 2014 vegetation was removed from the sand dunes in the south section of Ängelholm beach as a part of the EU-funded project Sand Life, with the objective to improve biodiversity in Swedish sand areas. The aim of this study is to investigate how the removal of beach vegetation has affected the morphology and the evolution of the dunes, from the removal in 2014 until today (2016), including the im

One of the most debated political events during 2016 was the referendum regarding the United Kingdom’s future in the European Union. Despite the many warnings received from economists the UK voters voted for ‘leave’, paving the way for Brexit. This thesis reviews some possible alternatives regarding the UK-EU relationship post Brexit and concludes that the economically best case scenario would be

En kvalitativ studie om hur värdeskapande aktiviteter påverkar generation Y online

This bachelor thesis is a study of FRANK, a less established art gallery with studios, and the activities carried out there. I have interviewed six artists connected to FRANK, about their art activities and their relations to the more established art scenes in Malmö. My experiences is that less established artists and art activities do not get equal attention as the more established. With this the

Här studeras konceptet ’zero waste’, ungefär ’inget avfall’, applicerat på livsmedelsindustrin, och hur den miljömässiga påverkan skiljer sig mellan ett förpackningslöst scenario som kan ses i en nischad, dansk livsmedelsbutik, och ett konventionellt scenario, där två typiska produkter i vanliga matbutiker används som referenser. I den danska butiken säljs havregryn i gravitationsmatare (gravity dThis study investigates the zero-waste concept applied to the food industry, and how the environmental impact differs between a package-free scenario found at a specialised Danish retail-store and a conventional scenario, using two reference products typically found in normal retail stores in Sweden. In the Danish store, the oats are sold in gravity dispensers, and the rapeseed oil is sold in glas

Sammanfattning Projektet handlar om att genom rationella lösningar ge möjlighet att bygga bostäder tidseffektivt och på detta sätt även göra ett inlägg i den svenska bostadsdebatten, vilken är mycket problematisk för tillfället. Hela Sverige lider i princip av bostadsbrist idag. Det hämmar utvecklingen för företag och övriga delar av samhället. För att avhjälpa bostadsbristen är detta ett projekt Abstract This project is based on the housing crisis that Sweden is having right now. The aim of this master thesis in architecture is to be a part of the solution and an entry in the Swedish housing debate. Through making a flexible and rational system the goal is to make construction fast, without compromising with architectural qualities. This is not a complete solution of the housing shortage

Coffee is one of the world’s largest trading goods and produced in a large number of countriesall over the world. The largest producers are from South America, Asia, Central America and Africa, and Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia are in order the largest producers,together producing more than the half of the world supply. During roasting of coffee the weight of the production batch decrea

The stainless steel metal includes a large group of alloys and which one should choose for a process can be difficult to determine. Despite much research on corrosion, there is still disagreement on the impact of the corrosion resistance from passivation. This master thesis was assembled together with Tetra Pak to see the influence of passivation on stainless steels used in their processes. The g

Det finns i dagsläget flertalet tekniska lösningar för att begränsa konsekvenser av bränder i bostäder. Exempel på sådana kan vara sprinkler och brandvarnare. Ytterligare möjligheter för att reducera konsekvenser av brand i bostäder finns, där planlösningar i bostäder borde kunna användas som ett komplement till övrigt brandskydd. Syftet med examensarbetet är därför att undersöka planlösningar i bThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the impact of floor plan parameters in a residential dwelling regarding the consequences of fire that may endanger human life and health. The thesis follows a case study methodology and investigates isolated parameters in floor plans using CFD and CFAST modelling. The results are compared to a default case and a conclusion regarding the importance of parame

The aim of this study is to investigate parameters that influence the effectiveness of the two main methods of smoke management, thermal and mechanical smoke ventilation, to determine when one of these methods is favorable to the other. To accomplish this simple hand calculations as well as more advanced computer programs, such as FDS and Argos, were used. The study was conducted in collaboration

This thesis is oriented around designing the world first inelastic hyperspectral LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) system for aquatic use. The system was designed around the task of monitoring zooplankton and environmental indicators in water. Scheimpflug lidar was previously developed for monitoring flying insects, aerosols and gases. Here we extend the concept to inelastic hyperspectral ranging ca

The purpose of the study was to investigate if dynamic way-guidance systems, namely flashing green lights mounted by an exit sign, can be used to increase the usage of lesser known egress routes in department stores. The study consisted of a literature study as well as experiments at Gekås department store in Ullared, Sweden. Two experiments were undertaken, one in the vicinity of the checkout and

With effect of global warming and climate change the electrification of vehicles enables a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional vehicles as it reduces toxic emissions and overall energy consumption. Different extents of electrification is today used. Hybrid and electric vehicles are two examples. Tools to simplify the design of electric vehicles are of value to

Problem: Hållbarhetsredovisning har alltid varit fri från formkrav vilket har inneburit stor flexibilitet för företag både sett till om hållbarhets- rapporter ska upprättas och vilket innehåll dessa ska ha. Då lagreglering blir gällande från och med räkenskapsåret 2017, som gör det tvingande för större företag att hållbarhetsredo- visa, frågar vi oss hur detta lagkrav kan komma att påverka den inf

Due to today’s climate changes, the risk of flooding is increasing, both caused by rising sea levels and as a consequence of heavy rainfall. Urban environments are largely consisting of impermeable surfaces, unable to permeate large amounts of water in the event of a flooding. In the scope of this work, the aim has been to map the social network of actors involved in flood management in Gothenburg

Fruits and leafy vegetables are the major target of pathogenic E.coli outbreaks. Usually soil and other contaminants present in the land provides easy pathway for pathogenic bacteria to enter the plant body. Later upon consumption of such infected food lead to various health problems. To overcome such outbreaks, during our study one of the leafy vegetable spinach was used as a medium to understand
