Two methylcelluloses (MC) were investigated by partial hydrolysis followed by direct infusion electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Partial hydrolysis was achieved either enzymatically or by acid hydrolysis. Enzyme hydrolysis was performed using the endoglucanase Bacillus agaradhaerens Cel 5a. Three different hydrolysis buffer solutions were investigated in order to deter-mine which

Background: New technologies and innovations have the power to swiftly disrupt complete industries across the globe. This puts pressure on companies to understand how new technologies could change future product offerings and impact the business model. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide an example of how new technology will generate new business models. This study is done as a case s

Bitumen är den tyngsta produkten från raffinaderier. Den är användbar som bindemedel för olika ytbeläggningar som t.ex. asfalt på vägar, takpapp m.m. Företag Nordic Waterproofing tillverkar takpapp i Höganäs och använder bitumen som en av de viktigaste råvarorna i processen. Ett förnyelsebart samhälle är dagens fokusmål för alla, inte bara enskilda personer, utan hela landet och hela planet måste Nordic Waterproofing is one of the largest roofing felt producers in Europe. One of the production facility is located in Höganäs (Sweden), which is specialized in roofing felt that are suitable for the nordic climate. Bitumen is a central component of roofing felt manufacturing that contribute several properties to the product. Due to the importance of bitumen, Nordic Waterproofing finds an addit

Denna rapport beskriver arbetet med att ta fram en landseglare i samarbete med konsultföretaget Semcon. Företaget vill kunna använda produkten på mässor och events, därför ska produkten ska utstråla Semcons värdeord, vilka är ”Responsibility, Credibility, Excellence”. Målet med arbetet är att skapa en landseglare som är mera portabel och enklare att montera jämfört med befintliga på marknaden, menThis report describes the development of a land sailer together with the consulting company Semcon. The company wants to use the product at fairs and internal events, therefore shall the product reflect Semcons core values, which are “Responsibility, Credibility, Excellence”. The aim with the development is to create a land sailer which is more portable and easier to assemble compared to existing

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the alteration of retinal function by multifocal electroretinography and full-field electroretinography in patients with age-related macular degeneration treated with bevacizumab. Methods: We performed a prospective pilot study of 26 eyes of 26 previously treatment-naive patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration receiving intravitre

Due to the increasing interest of producing power from renewable and non-conventional resources, organic Rankine cycles are finding their place in today’s thermal energy mix. The main influencers on the efficiency of an organic Rankine cycle are the working fluid and the expander. Therefore most of the research done up to date turns around the selection of the best performance working media and th

We screened 150 olfactory sensilla in single-sensillum recordings to unravel the mechanisms underlying host selection in the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). Odor stimuli comprised of pheromone (various bark beetle spp.), host, and non-host compounds elicited strong and selective responses from 106 olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), 45 of which were tune

The goal with this master thesis is to examine the usability in the Tetra PlantMaster. Tetra PlantMaster is the control system for the dairies that Tetra Pak develops. Tetra PlantMaster is the system which the operator uses in order to govern the entire process when raw milk becomes a product ready to be delivered to the grocery stores. This includes applications to produce soured milk, yoghurt, i

There are two purposes of thesis, the first is to determine: How efficient are Ready-To-Sell packaging solutions through IKEAs supply chain? And the second is to determine: To what level are Ready-To-Sell packaging solutions utilized at IKEA stores? If the solutions aren’t used as intended, what is the reason? Based on the result from the case study the objective is to: Identify possible potential

Inactivation of the Ink4 gene locus locus on 9p comprising the tumour suppressor gene p16ink4a and its neighbours p14ARF and p15ink4b is common in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), but the prognostic significance is controversial. DNA from 230 patients was retrospectively analysed by Southern blotting, single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing techniques. The resul

In polyandrous insects, postcopulatory sexual selection is a pervasive evolutionary force favouring male and female traits that allow control of offspring paternity. Males may influence paternity through adaptations for sperm competition, and females through adaptations facilitating cryptic female choice. Yet, the mechanisms are often complex, involving behaviour, physiology or morphology, and the

The remarkable variation in plumage and morphological characters in the redpoll complex Carduelis flammea-hornemanni has puzzled taxonomists for several decades. In contrast, molecular studies have not revealed any genetic differentiation among the phenotypic redpoll forms. This could either be a result of high present-day gene flow or morphological differentiation following a rapid and recent pop

Background: Respiratory viruses are the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and hospitalisation in infants and young children. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main infectious agent in this population. Palivizumab is administered intramuscularly every month during five months in the first RSV season to prevent serious RSV LRTI in children. Given its high cost, it is e

Background: Visual exploration of gene product behavior across multiple omic datasets can pinpoint technical limitations in data and reveal biological trends. Still, such exploration is challenging as there is a need for visualizations that are tailored for the purpose. Results: The OmicLoupe software was developed to facilitate visual data exploration and provides more than 15 interactive cross-d

Objective: To assess the value of second-look resection (SLR) in stage T1 bladder cancer (BCa) with respect to progression-free survival (PFS), and also the secondary outcomes recurrence-free survival (RFS), bladder-cancer-specific survival (CSS), and cystectomy-free survival (CFS). Patients and methods: The study included 2456 patients diagnosed with stage T1 BCa 2004–2009 with 5-yr follow-up reg

The transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to high-grade B-cell lymphoma is known as Richter's Syndrome (RS) and it is a rare event with dismal prognosis. In this study, we conducted whole genome sequencing (WGS) of paired circulating CLL (PB-CLL) and RS biopsies (tissue-RS) from 17 clinical trial (CHOP-O) patients. We found that tissue-RS was enriched for mutations in poor-risk CLL

The physical and chemical changes of a waste mixture consist ing of mumcipal solid waste (MSW) and sewage sludge were investigated during the anaerobic waste stablilization phases of the mixture. The emphasis of this study was the behavior of heavy metals. The waste was deposited in a test cell in 1973. It was found that the waste mass decreased by about 30% (wt) during the years 1973 to 1993 and

Because biomass is a widely available, renewable resource, its utilisation for the production of energy has great potential for reducing CO2 emissions and thereby preventing global warming. In this mini-review the `state of the art' of several fermentation processes is discussed, starting with the most advanced process of ethanol production. This is followed by methane production, an established p
