Molecular imprinting technology is a field where polymer technology is utilised to synthesise high affinity particles, much like antibodies. This project has dealt with the imprinting of the neurotransmitter molecules serotonin and histamine. Serotonin polymers were synthesised using methacrylic acid and acrylamide as functional monomers relying on hydrogen bonding for the imprinting effect. None
Many people suffering from chronic kidney disease are in need of a kidney transplant. A problem in the health care is that patients cannot undergo surgery if they have too much belly fat.

The essence of the project is based on how wear affects a product. I saw a flaw in the furniture industry that mass-produces products with materials that are negatively affected by wear and tear. These products have a short lifespan and contributes to the ”throw-away” culture where the product is either replaced or thrown away more often than necessary. I wanted to make a living-room table that du

In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. Through analysis of some well-known historical crowd disasters and through a literature survey the aim has been to compile the most impo
This report describes the development of a new fixing process when attaching a sensor PCB card to a camera assembly. The thesis focused on cameras which requires calibration to find the optimal position of the sensor PCB card, a process called active alignment. The development process applied for this thesis was derived from the Generic Development Process by Ulrich and Eppinger. Interviewees wit
Sveriges kommuner och landsting har fått i uppdrag att starta projekt för att nationen skall bli ledande i IT i ett kommande informations- och kunskapssamhälle. Inom vården används tekniska hjälpmedel alltmer för övervakning i hemmet och internet används för dokumentation, vårdplanering, rådgivning mm.

A qualitative Case Study was conducted based on interviews from five Key Account Managers and the CFO and CEO of a Business to Business firm operating in the Nordic region. This thesis shows that despite having a superior value offering and high
Increasingly, buildings are built with glass facades, which creates difficulties regarding indoor environmental quality. During the summer, solar radiation contributes to a surplus of heat which increases the temperature indoors, while in winter the building can be too cold as result of the cooled window surfaces. This study addresses how thermal comfort can be optimized for the LNC-building belon

Using Anna Freud’s theory on child development to d

Avfallsförebyggande syftar till att förhindra uppkomsten av avfall och är det högst uppsatta målet inom svensk och europeisk avfallshantering. Trots det har avfallsmängderna fortsatt att öka och de prognoser som gjorts inför framtiden visar att mängderna kommer fortsätta att öka med befintliga styrmedel. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om avfallsförebyggande åtgärder kan anpassa till dWaste prevention aims at preventing the generation of waste and is the highest target of the Swedish and European waste management.
