Host cell protein (HCP) is quantified in the purification steps of biopharmaceutical production and is part of ensuring the purity of the final drug product. The gold standard method for HCP quantification is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but a new approach is proposed here with fully customized bio-layer interferometry assays for yeast and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The new
Density based topology optimization has become an efficient way to design optimal complex structures with different goals, constraints and boundary conditions. To regularize the solution, density filters are utilized and is controlled by the length scale. The length scale controls minimum feature sizes, as well as minimum curvatures in the structure. Usually a constant length scale is used through
Background/Problematization: Iconic brands are the gold standard of branding and have established a central role in the consumers’ lives. Behind every iconic brand, we can find iconic products. Despite the importance of these products, iconic products are overlooked in academia. Few studies have explored the concept and there is no common definition or comprehensive framework. This is restrictive
In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. In turn, they undergo a planet--planet scattering even
Bluetooth is a short-range technology, it helps with wireless communication between many electronic devices. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is the advanced version of Bluetooth which uses low energy compared to the standard Bluetooth. Bluetooth mesh technology play a crucial role in the Internet of things (IoT). The IoT mesh technology enables many-to-many and one-to-many communication. This project d
Oat starch, like starch from other plants, is composed of amylose and amylopectin. The arrangement and abundance of these polysaccharides offers distinct properties to the formed starch. Starch with an elevated amount of amylose is of commercial interest and amount of amylose present in oats differs within cultivars. In this study, a mutant oat population developed by CropTailor was screened usin
The study considers the phenomenon of double alienation, by which is meant the immigrant’s feeling of in a sense being alienated in their native country as well as in the new one. Those elements of their behaviour which are common in the one country or the other are expected there, whereas those which are not are seen as strange and different. This gives the immigrant a feeling of being at home in
Vi lever idag i en värld vars system och strukturer tillåter oss människor att konsumera och producera långt över våra tillgångar. Om inga åtgärder görs riskerar vi oåterkalleliga förändringar i klimat och miljö som kommer att påverka förutsättningarna för kommande generationer. Klimatkrisen är global men vi måste agera lokalt. Nu. Hur vi utformar byggnader och samhällen har stor inverkan på milj
The West Bank attracts countless researchers due to the conflict’s intractable label. On one hand, these researchers are drawn to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict due to logistical reasons: accessibility to the area, academic prestige, ample funding, grant and networking opportunities. On the other, researchers are allured due to an Orientalist fascination with conducting fieldwork in the West Ban
The growing threat of resource depletion has spurred on the need to change how we consume. Old, linear modes of production must be replaced by an approach that reduces waste and maximizes value throughout the product’s entire life cycle. This strategy is embodied by the Circular Economy (CE). A key aspect of CE is reuse, referring to the repurposing of old products to avoid generating waste and de
n this master’s thesis, one studies the liquidity of bonds. One considers bid-ask spread and develops four estimators of this liquidity measure based on trading data. One also computes Amihud’s measure. This approach helps to determine liquidity and its associ-ated costs without quotation. One finds out that the Roll, the FHT estimators and the Amihud measure take the lead. One looks at the changes
The aim of this thesis is to describe and explain how meal-box, as a digital device designed to assist households in carrying out eating practices, reconfigure household practices and enable specific behavioural activities, including sustainability. Taking a socio-material and practice theory approach and drawing on an ethnographic study of three meal-box providers – The Seasons, Hello Fresh and L
Studier har visat att det kan göras bra bedömningar av trafiksäkerhetstillstånd och dess bidragande faktorer genom att studera konflikterna i trafiken istället för olyckorna. Genom att undersöka hur konflikterna i en trafikplats ser ut kan man få mer data och få den mycket snabbare än om man undersöker olycksdata. Genom att använda nya verktyg till datorer som djupinlärning kan man även lättare taStudies have shown that good assessments can be made of traffic safety conditions and contributing factors by studying the conflicts in traffic rather than the accidents. By analysing the conflicts in a location with traffic you can get more data and in a shorter time-frame than if analysing accident data. By using new tools for computers such as deep learning, it's easier to get these conflic

As one of the most important sites in which and through which discourse is articulated and disseminated, newspapers play particularly extensive roles in furthering understandings of human rights cases involving citizens of dual nationality and foreign policy. Drawing on critical discourse analysis and the practice of journalistic framing, this study examined the effects of intertextuality on the d
The modernization of China comes as one of the most interesting topics not only at this moment but also has been researched for a long time. The individualization theories come as a result of modernity. This thesis draws on ten in-depth interviews in order to analyze the individualization among the educated, middle-class young people who were born in the 1990s by testing Yan Yunxiang’s theories of
Climate change, along with grassland degradation, have become major causes of livelihood difficulties for herdsmen in Inner Mongolia for the past few decades. The purpose of this study is to seek better understanding of the relationships between climate change and herders’ livelihoods in pastoral communities in Inner Mongolia, map out the major institutional changes on climate adaptation measures
As the entertainment industry continues to grow and fictional characters holding enormous value, this paper seeks to explain how the characters can be protected within the EU through copyright or the use of trade marks, and what the limitations to such protection might be. The paper is using a legal analytical method and looks at both the legislation and the case-law within the union, but also at
