Popular Abstract in English Modern society is still largely based on fossil resources. However, there are growing concerns about the security and cost of these resources, as well as climate change resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Biofuels represent renewable fuels with the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels, providing a more sustainable alternative. The transpBioethanol from sugarcane is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the increasing demand for fuel ethanol has prompted studies on the use of the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, namely bagasse and leaves, as new feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility of producing second generation (2G) ethanol from bagasse and leaves via the enzymatic r

Politicians and public relations practitioners need to consciously and strategically communicate on Twitter not only during elections, but also during incumbency. However; previous approaches to PR failed to offer candidates successful long-term strategies. In addition, political PR research underestimated the influence of the characteristics of Twitter on the tone and the rhetoric of political co

Uppsatsen har undersökt huruvida spelföretaget Star Stable Entertainment AB marknadsföring av virtuella valutor och produkter till barn bryter mot EU:s konsumentskyddslagstiftning i ljuset av Sveriges Konsumenters anmälan mot företaget. Uppsatsen har även diskuterat om direktivet om otillbörliga affärs-metoder är anpassat för den digitala miljön med hänsyn till kommissionens aktuella fitness checkThe essay analyses whether the gaming company Star Stable Entertainment AB´s marketing of virtual currencies and other virtual products against chil-dren violates EU consumer law, considering the Swedish Consumers Associ-ation’s complaint against the company. The paper also discusses whether the Unfair Commercial Practice Directive (UCPD) is fit for the digital environ-ment, given the European Com

The invention relates to hyperpolarised 13C-alanine, its use as imaging agent, an imaging medium comprising hyperpolarised 13C-alanine and methods of 13C-MR detection wherein such an imaging medium is used. Further, the invention relates to methods of producing hyperpolarised 13C-alanine.

Optical mapping by direct visualization of individual DNA molecules, stretched in nanochannels with sequence-specific fluorescent labeling, represents a promising tool for disease diagnostics and genomics. An important challenge for this technique is thermal motion of the DNA as it undergoes imaging; this blurs fluorescent patterns along the DNA and results in information loss. Correcting for this

Biosensors would benefit from further miniaturization, increased detection rate and independence from external pumps and other bulky equipment. Whereas transportation systems built around molecular motors and cytoskeletal filaments hold significant promise in the latter regard, recent proof-of-principle devices based on the microtubule-kinesin motor system have not matched the speed of existing me

Group exhibition.'The horizon is always receding' brings together a selection of works that reflect on the scope and the implications that the term contemporary may have. As the philosopher Giorgio Agamben suggests, contemporaneity can be understood as a term that surpasses temporal demarcations and transcends simultaneity and coexistence. In this sense, this exhibition serves as a symptomatic dis

By building a strong brand that is favourably perceived by target customers, a firm can establish a competitive advantage that enables greater revenues and profitability. This is at least what the branding literature always has assumed, and something few marketing and brand managers seem to disagree with. When asked how exactly a brand can be charged with such great value, however, neither academi

Purpose: Volumetry of cerebral ventricles is a far more sensitive measure for shunt-induced reduction of ventricular size than traditional 2-dimensional (2D) measures, such as Evans index. However, available ventricle segmentation methods are time-consuming, resulting in limited use in clinical practice. Quantitative MRI (qMRI) obtains objective measurements of physical tissue properties, enabling

Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is generated when the electron bunch length is in the order of the magnitude of the wavelength of the emitted radiation. The self-interaction of short electron bunches with their own electromagnetic fields changes the longitudinal beam dynamics significantly. Above a certain current threshold, the micro-bunching instability develops, characterized by the appear

The linear inverse problem associated with the standard model for hyperspectral image recovery from CASSI measurements is considered. This is formulated as the minimization of an objective function which is the sum of a total variation regularizer and a least squares loss function. Standard first-order iterative minimization algorithms, such as ISTA, FISTA and TwIST, require as input the value of

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive imaging modality, where imperceptible currents are applied to the skin and the resulting surface voltages are measured. It has the potential to distinguish between ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke with a portable and inexpensive device. The image reconstruction relies on an accurate forward model of the experimental setup. Because of the rela
