1. Semipermeable membrane devices in monitoring of organic pollutants in the aquatic environment
Sammanfattning : Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) are passive samplers capable of concentrating hydrophobic chemicals from water, sediments, soil and air. They consist of layflat polymeric membrane such as polyethylene containing a thin film of synthetic lipid such as triolein. LÄS MER
2. Uncharted Waters : Non-target analysis of disinfection by-products in drinking water
Sammanfattning : Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are potentially toxic compounds formed when drinking water is treated with disinfectants, such as chlorine or chloramine. A large proportion of the exposure to DBPs is still unknown and the health risks observed through epidemiological studies cannot be explained by DBPs known today. LÄS MER
3. Bioassays for the determination of nitrification inhibition
Sammanfattning : Requirements for nitrogen reduction in wastewater treatmentplants were introduced in Sweden in the early 1990s. Thiswas a governmental move to reduce the nitrogen discharges tothe Baltic and Kattegatt in order to prevent eutrophication.The nitrification process in wastewater treatment plants isperformed by nitrifying bacteria.

4. Human adenoviruses : new bioassays for antiviral screening and CD46 interaction
Sammanfattning : Adenoviruses are common pathogens all over the world. The majority of the population has at some point been infected with an adenovirus. Although severe disease can occur in otherwise healthy individuals an adenovirus infection is most commonly self limited in these cases. LÄS MER
5. Microfluidic Compartmentalization for Smart Materials, Medical Diagnostics and Cell Therapy
Sammanfattning : The organisation of fluids in small compartments is ubiquitous in nature, such as in the cellular composition of all life. This work explores several engineering avenues where microscale fluid compartmentalization can bring novel material properties or novel functionality in life sciences or medicine. LÄS MER
