1. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix
Sammanfattning : In 2007 the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the world was over 4 million tonnes and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year. With the increased concern about environmental protection, alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources are of interest. LÄS MER
2. Modelling depression in animals and the potential antidepressant effect of histaminergic modulation
Sammanfattning : Depression is at the top position for "years lived with disability" (Smith, 2014). Its aetiology is unknown, but the pathogenesis implicates changes in glutamatergic neuronal plasticity. Glutamatergic plasticity likely mediates the effects of antidepressants acting through monoamines. LÄS MER
3. Predicting the route: from protein sequence to sorting in eukaryotic cell
Sammanfattning : Proteins need to be localised in the correct compartment of a eukaryotic cell to function correctly. Therefore, a protein needs to be transported to the right location. Specific signals present in the protein sequence direct proteins to different subcellular localisations. LÄS MER
4. Reclaiming Territory from Below : Grassroots Environmentalism and Waste Conflicts in Campania, Italy
Sammanfattning : In the course of 2000s, the region of Campania in southern Italy and its capital city Naples became global icons of waste mismanagement after the images of piles of rubbish occluding their urban areas hit the headlines. Conventional explanations, in Italy and elsewhere, pointed to administrative failure, cultural backwardness and mafia infiltration as the main causes of waste mishandling. LÄS MER
5. Advanced Nanostructured Transition Metal Oxide Semiconductors for Solar Energy Applications
Sammanfattning : Increasing energy consumption and its environmental impacts make it necessary to look for alternative energy sources. Solar energy as huge energy source that can cover the terms sustainability is considered as a favorable alternative. LÄS MER
