Tack vare solen och geotermisk värme har marken två naturliga källor till värmeenergi, och p.g.a. trögheten att ändra temperatur har marken en jämnare temperaturvariation än luften. Detta är gynnsamt för den som vill utnyttja geoenergi. Detta är en förnyelsebar energikälla som fått allt mer uppmärksamhet på marknaden de senaste åren. Under begreppet förnyelsebar geoenergi ligger två olika metoder;Because of the sun and geothermal heat the ground has two natural recourses for heat energy, and since the ground changes temperature slower than the air it has a more even temperature fluctuation. This is positive for the use of geothermal energy which is a renewable method that has been given more attention lately due to it positive environmental effects. The term renewable geothermal energy in

Anders Mikkelsen, Professor at Lund University and Director of NanoLund will present his research about an artificial neural network that is inspired by the central navigation complex in the insect brain. This seminar is given in the frame of series that is organized by the three nanoscience hubs located in the Copenhagen-Lund area. The aim is to to increase awareness about our mutual capabilities

Drug repurposing or re-profiling has become an effective strategy to identify novel indications for already-approved drugs. In this study, peptidomimetic FDA-approved HIV/HCV inhibitors were explored for their potential to be repurposed for the inhibition of the replication of dengue (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) by targeting the NS2B-NS3 and NSP2 protease, respectively. MM/GBSA-based bindi

A Catalyst pharmacophore model has been developed for the benzodiazepine site within the GABA(A) receptor complex. The model is based on a pharmacophore model originally proposed by Cook and co-workers (Drug Des. Discovery 1995, 12, 193-248) and further developed by Kahnberg et al. (J. Med. Chem. 2002,45, 4188-4201). The Catalyst pharmacophore model has been validated by using a series of flavonoi

Cellulose is the most abundant polymer and a very important renewable resource. Since cellulose cannot be shaped by melting, a major route for its use for novel materials, new chemical compounds and renewable energy must go via the solution state. Investigations during several decades have led to the identification of several solvents of notably different character. The mechanisms of dissolution i

This report presents the conceptual design of a new European research infrastructure EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over the last four years in a unique collaboration of 41 laboratories within a Horizon 2020 design study funded by the European Union. EuPRAXIA is the first European project that develops a dedicated particle accelerator research infrastructure based on novel plasma accel

Background: Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus has attracted increased interest as an industrial hydrogen (H2)producer. The aim of the present study was to develop a kinetic growth model for this extreme thermophile. The model is based on Monod kinetics supplemented with the inhibitory effects of H2 and osmotic pressure, as well as the liquid-to-gas mass transfer of H2. Results: Mathematical exp

We explored various methods for inducing quantum dots (QDs) in pure zinc blende (ZB) InAs nanowires. This material exhibits high conductivity due to the presence of an intrinsic accumulation layer of charge carriers, resulting from surface band bending and donor impurities. To create regions that can be depleted by gate potentials (barriers) in the axial direction of the nanowire, we employed both

Long term stability of lutetium rhodite (LuRhO3) as an electrode for photoelectrochemical decomposition of water is investigated. The thermodynamic properties of LuRhO3are determined in the temperature range from 875 to 1300 K using an electrochemical cell incorporating calcia–stabilized zirconia as the solid electrolyte. The standard Gibbs energy of formation of LuRhO3from its constituent binary

Climate change and biodiversity loss present critical challenges for humanity, yet biodiversity often remains overlooked in corporate sustainability strategies. This study, conducted within Schneider Electric’s environ- mental team, aims to address this gap by comparing the carbon intensity and biodiversity impacts of new production processes for aluminum and steel against conventional methods. Ut

Enzymes are often considered a green approach next to conventional fossil-based chemicals helping us on the margin towards a low-impact society. While enzyme catalysed reactions are low environmental impact technologies, their production is not. In this study, a comparative life cycle assessment of different recombinant enzyme manufacturing strategies quantifies and evaluates the contribution of d

Drönare används idag inom en rad områden. Projektet H24LEO, som drivs av Trafikflygarhögskolan vid Lunds Universitet (TFHS) och är finansierat av Vinnova, har som mål att utveckla och demonstrera en drönare driven av ett hybridiserat vätgasbränslecell-system baserat på PEM-tekniken. Denna drönare har som tilltänkt syfte att kunna erbjuda understöd i så kallade Search and Rescure-uppdrag hos SjöfarUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) offer great versatility in the tasks that they may perform and they are today used in many sectors. The H24LEO project, administered by the Lund University School of Aviation, aims to develop and demonstrate a hybrid proton-exchange membrane fuel cell-powered UAV to aid in search and rescue operations performed by the Swedish Maritime Administration, and reduce

Morphology and facet engineering have been proved efficient strategies to prepare high-performance photoelectrochemical (PEC) materials. WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction photoanodes with different morphologies were prepared by simply controlling the amount of electrodeposited charge. The coral-like WO3/BiVO4 photoanode with the orientation growth of {110} and {011} active facets of BiVO4 exhibited the opt

The evolution of the diamond (111) surface as it undergoes reconstruction and subsequent graphene formation is investigated with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, and complementary density functional theory calculations. The process is examined starting at the C(111)-(2×1) surface reconstruction that occurs following detachment of the surface adatoms at 92

We have investigated the properties of cobalamin complexes with imidazolate using the density functional B3LYP method, In particular, we have compared imidazolate (Imm) with imidazole and 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), and studied how constraints in the axial Co-N bond length may affect the strength of the Co-C bond. The results show that the optimum Co-N-Imm bond is similar to0.2 Angstrom short

Despite the abundance of membrane-associated enzymes, the mechanism by which membrane binding stabilizes these enzymes and stimulates their catalysis remains largely unknown. Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a lipophilic lactonase whose stability and enzymatic activity are dramatically stimulated when associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. Our mutational and structural analyses, co
