Fires in the built environment typically consist of diffusion flames with inefficient mixing of fuel and oxygen, resulting in a degree of incomplete combustion and the generation of carbon monoxide. Fire suppression systems, used to control the growth and spread of fire, influence the combustion reaction process. Water droplets interacting with the gas phase chemistry of fire interrupt combustion

Protein består av byggstenar och de har flera livsviktiga funktioner i våra kroppar. Byggstenarna är tjugo olika aminosyror som kan kopplas ihop på många olika sätt. Ett protein som är mindre än 50 aminosyraenheter kallas för en peptid. Proteinveckning är en spontan process där ett protein får sin tredimensionella form, som oftast är ett biologiskt aktiv tillstånd. Proteinveckningen kan ibland gåProteins are made up by amino acids linked through peptide bonds. They carry out many important tasks in our bodies and the folding of proteins is a crucial process. The folding of proteins determines the function of it and sometimes proteins get misfolded. The misfolded protein can get degraded, refold back or form protein aggregates. These aggregating proteins are related to several diseases for

Methodologically, I have conducted four focus group interviews with student

Researchers in the field of Galactic Archaeology have entered the era of industrial revolution. Upcoming surveys are planning on observing tens of millions of stars and high precision and accuracy must be ensured when deriving their stellar parameters and elemental abundances. Unconventional data-driven techniques hold the promise of efficiently dealing with these vast collections of data while st
