Encapsulation systems have long been studied, and the designs have varied in both capsule material as well as the type of cargo. The intended use have ranged from nanoreactors to delivery systems. This work presents an encapsulation system consisting of protein capsule and a protein cargo. The capsule is a redesigned hepatitis B virus capsid protein, in which the luminal extension has been altered

Inversions have the capacity to maintain genetic differentiation between hybridizing populations, which makes them highly interesting targets for understanding the processes of early speciation. In-versions can generate “islands of differentiation”, genomic peaks of heightened divergence, by lower-ing recombination in heterozygotes. Two genetically similar and hybridizing subspecies of the willow

An extensive part of the road network in Sweden still consists of gravel roads, but operation and maintenance of these roads is complex due to the Swedish climate and the low traffic volume. This report further examines how operation and maintenance of gravel roads is executed and how it can be done in a cost effective way. In order to do so, the report contains both a literature study and a field

This thesis presents a finite element solution to the problem of swelling inclusions inside a host matrix. The FE simulations aim to mimic the behaviour of hydrides nucleating and growing inside a zirconium body with a heat expansion analogy, this is done with both a multi-step and single step technique carried out in the commercial FE software ABAQUS. The model mesh was generated with a Python sc

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att analysera hur ett framgångsrikt ombyggnadsprojekt för flerbostadshus från 1950-talet ser ut och om det finns generella faktorer som går att applicera på andra projekt. Vidare är det tänkt att studien ska belysa hur utvärderingen av projekt idag genomförs och om det finns andra variabler som borde utvärderas jämfört med vad som görs i nuläget. Slutligen ska studien Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze if there are any critical success factors in renovation projects from the 1950’s in Sweden, and if they can be applied to more general construction projects. Furthermore, the study will examine how these projects are evaluated and if a wider evaluation process is needed. Finally, the study will examine how the workplace affects the residents during

The aim is to specify a demand function that describes the demand for cannabis on county level in the states that have legalized retail sales in order to test hypotheses regarding what factors influence demand on county and potentially on individual level, as well as to gain some insight in whether legalization is a good strategy for combatting black markets of cannabis. Multiple regression analys

This study investigates the relation between preferences and cognitive effort in decision making tasks in a natural setting. Does the way a supermarket’s shelves are organized affect how easy it is to choose what items to purchase? Does it affect the quality of our choice? The eye-movements of participants were recorded during their regular shopping trips in two supermarkets with different shelf

This paper is a proposition of how to use an archetypal analysis based on new theoretical concepts of the Jungian archetypes, such as the image schema (Knox, 2001), the bi-polarity of complexes (Perry, 1970), and the culture complex (Singer, 2006). Consequently, these are combined with the cognitive schema theory, cues and the cultural frame switch theory. Furthermore, these theories are connected

Consistent differences in behavior between individuals within a population can contribute to community and system complexity by adding alternate trophic linkages and maintaining diversity. Past studies have examined individual differences in behavior as well as the occurrence of cannibalism within populations, but not the link between predator behavioral type and cannibalism. Individual Eurasian p

The aim of my study is to find out how Peru's recently signed free trade agreements have affected the volume of imports of fishmeal by the partner countries.

As the consumption of footwear increases, so does the footwear waste. At the same time there is an increased interest to find solutions to close loop channels and adopt circularity of material flow. However, in order to create such circularity it means to overcome the typical barriers to such implementation, which usually are addressed by networking between actors, efficient reprocessing technique

My topic is to make "playful" products. However, "playful" may have a broad meaning. I think nowadays people treat furniture and products as purely functional or aesthetic tools rather than a surrounding which may have more interaction with human actions or even have its own personalities. In another word, I'm interested in exploring how our surroundings can integrate more

Att undersöka om en aktiesplit förändrar svenska bolags ägarstruktur samt att förklara och analysera en eventuell förändring. Vidare ämnar uppsatsen att jämföra resultatet på den svenska marknaden med en tidigare amerikansk studie. Resultatet visade på en ökning av totala antalet aktieägare i företag som har utfört en aktiesplit. Ingen förändring i ägarproportioner efter en aktiesplit kunde påvi

The aim of this project was to develop a method for simulating the movement of a fluid in a fuel tank of a truck that is in motion. The pressure that is built up on the tank walls was also calculated. Once the method was developed it could be used for analyzing and understanding the phenomenon that is sloshing. The method developed cover all parts of the process, from start to finish. The first

Alla fastigheter är unika, framförallt i avseendet att de inte är flyttbara och att de investeringar som görs är bestående. Trots de unika karaktärsdrag som följer med en fastighet sker de flesta värderingar med schabloniserade marknadsantaganden baserat på typ av fastighet, läge och värdeår. Följden blir att fastigheter med hållbara och miljövänliga lösningar värderas på samma sätt, och med likarAll real estates are unique, especially based on the fact that they are non-moveable and investments are long lasting. Despite the unique traits of character, most of the valuations are made using average market data, based upon the type of property, the location and the year of value. The consequence of using market standards is that properties with sustainable and environmentally friendly soluti

This Master’s thesis investigates the possibility of adding full vendor-specific software loading sequence support to CANoe, in order to provide the possibility of testing the compliance of Electrical Control Units (ECU:s) from several different vendors to the international standard Unified Diagnostic Services ISO14229-1. Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) specifies how diagnostic communication sho

Denna uppsatsen presenterar en studie av Revinge-1 kärnan borrad i Vombtråget. Borrkärnan uppvisar en sedimentär berggrundssekvens från övre jura till övre krita inkluderande jura/krita-gränsen. Sedimentologiska, biostratigrafiska och litologiska studier (så som SEM-EDX) utfördes för att uppnå en multidisciplinär karaktärisering av sedimenten. Borrkärnan kunde delas upp i åtta olika enheter, A−H. This thesis presents a study of the core from the Revinge-1 borehole from the Vomb Trough. The core displays strata from the Upper Jurassic to the Upper Cretaceous including strata covering the the J/K−boundary . Sedimentological, biostratigraphical and lithological studies (such as SEM-EDX) were performed as to get a multi-disciplinary characterization of the strata. The core have been divided in
