Zebrafish larvae action sequences were analysed in order to compare and profile several different drugs for therapeutic purposes in neurological diseases. Healthy and neurological disease induced larvae were treated with different drugs and drug dosages and their movement recorded into action sequences. Action sequences were categorized into eight different turn types and organised in swim bouts.

Usually, high acquisition premia are considered to be a proxy for aggressive management style, extremely risk-taking behavior and poor managerial decision making and ultimately failure. In the case of China, it is questionable if this assumption can hold true. In general, cross border M&A failure rate is high and did not vary significantly over time. A study by KPMG found that only 17% of cros

The aim of this study is to examine the interrelationship between contemporary French luxury fashion and political struggles by examining the garments with explicit political statements from the ready-to-wear spring/summer 2015 Chanel runway, the ready-to-wear spring/summer 2017 Dior runway and the menswear fall/winter 2017 Balenciaga runway analysis as to discern the possible reasons and effects

Mangroveskogens ekosystem är ett tropiskt kustsamhälle bebott av organismer anpassade till den stressfulla miljön i tidvattenszonen. Mangroveskogen har på senare år blivit erkänd för de viktiga ekosystemtjänsterna den erbjuder. Trotts detta hotas den av mänskliga aktiviteter, och en tredjedel av världens naturliga mangroveskog uppskattas redan ha gått förlorad. Ansträngningar har gjorts för att beThe mangrove ecosystem is a tropical coastal community inhabited by organisms adapted to the stressful environment of the tidal zone. Mangrove ecosystems has in recent years been noted for the important ecosystem services they offer. Still, they are threatened by anthropogenic activities and it has been estimated that a third of the world’s natural mangrove cover has already been lost. Efforts hav

3D-utrskrivning och topologioptimering kan ses som det perfekta paret där varje part lyfter upp respektives bästa sida, topologioptimering optimerar styrkan mot ett volymvillkor och 3D-utskrivning möjliggör tillverkning. En ny metod presenteras som tar hänsyn till överhäng i 3D-utskrivning för att slippa eventuella stödstrukturer.Topology optimization answers the question "How to place the material within a prescribed design domain in order to obtain the best structural performance? " and the design obtained is usually complex. Additive manufacturing comes with a well known design freedom and the design provided by topology optimization can be manufactured without as many constraints as conventional manufacturing

The observed and expected changes in the environment due to human actions implies risks that future food production will be insufficient. Pre- dicting the impact these changes have on the agricultural system could be beneficial by allowing for proactive mitigating efforts. The prediction of these impacts often involve large computer programs that simulate the behavior of the environment. By implem

This report aims to communicate the process and result of the master’s thesis project that was accomplished at TePe Munhygienprodukter AB, with the title Development of a dental measuring instrument. The project had a timeframe of 18 weeks and consisted to a large extent of generating a foundation for developing a product that allows for simple measuring of interdental spaces. TePe develops denta

The growing world population will demand an increase in agriculture production to sustain the consumption of food and demands for bioenergy. Nevertheless, negative impacts on crop production have been observed due to effects of climate change, which threatens our ability to sustain future demands. Yield reductions due to warmer conditions and more frequent extreme weather events were increasingly

To form a building adapted to the environment and at the same time preserve land, water and other resources in a long term it has to fulfill some requirements. Requirements are set by international and national governing authorities. In order for a regular consumer, property owner or entrepreneur to be guided towards sustainable construction, there are also several environmental certification syst

Pollination av paranötsträd i ett föränderligt skogslandskap Paranötsträdet (Berthollethia excelsa) växer vilt i stora delar av Amazonas regnskog. Paranötter konsumeras globalt och är en viktig inkomstkälla för många småbrukare i Peru, Bolivia och Brasilien. På grund av dess ekonomiska värde är trädet fridlyst i dessa tre länder. Då skogsavverkning ökar till förmån för bland annat gruvdrift och The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) produces Brazil nuts, an economically important non-timber forest product. As land-conversion from forest to field increases throughout the Brazil nut tree’s range, many trees end up being the only remaining mature tree in open fields or in secondary forest. The Brazil nut tree is dependent on a variety of large bees for pollination and fruit set. It is t

Soil microbial communities play an important role in the functioning of soils by degrading soil organic matter and making nutrients ac-cessible to plants. An in-depth knowledge of their structure and pro-cesses are of particular interest to agriculture. Fungi as soil organic matter decomposers draw attention to focus on this particular group of microorganisms. Here we studied the differences of ge

One of the current trends amongst the major software companies is Virtual Personal Assistants (VPA), such as Apple Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. This market is growing rapidly, and the assistants are getting smarter and becoming more capable. However, in this kind of rapid expansion it is easy to lose focus on the user, which may lead to the end user discarding the VPA as another softwa

Förståelse av dynamiken i interaktionen mellan proteiner och olika molekyler kan underlätta designen av nya läkemedel mot till exempel cancer. Detta kan man studera i stora magneter med så kallad magnetresonansspektroskopi. I kroppen finns en proteinfamilj, Galektiner, som deltar i många biologiska processer. Ett av dessa protein, Galektin-3, är involverat i utvecklingen av cancer vilket gör att This master thesis consists of two parts, which both deal with NMR studies of the carbohydrate-binding domain of the protein galectin-3 (Gal3C). In the first part, 19F relaxation of two difluorinated diastereomeric ligands bound to Gal3C was analyzed with the model-free approach to extract information about the dynamics. The second part reports the assignments of the backbone amide 1H/15N resonanc
