Smoked ham is commonly eaten in Sweden. However, smoked ham consists of a lot of salt (NaCl) which is an important component in the brine. Since a high salt consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, it is of great interest to decrease salt and other sodium-binding compounds in various food products, especially in smoked ham. Nevertheless, this is a challenge because the salt and o

The studied protein exists naturally in the human body and can self-assemble into nanospheres at certain physiological conditions. Recently, these nanospheres was found able to bind free heme, the highly reactive gas binding component in hemoglobin which can cause severe tissue damage if in free form in the body. Due to prior experiments, the hypothesis was that the protein-heme binding site conta

Traditional broadcasting of sport events, such as football or icehockey games, require continuos attention of a camera operator in order to capture the area which is of interest to a viewer.
