1. 1. Design, Synthesis and Thermodynamic Studies of Galectin Ligands

   Författare :Maria Luisa Verteramo; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; galectin; conformational entropy; solvation; thermodynamic; interaction; molecular recognition; thiodigalactoside; diastereomer; structure-based design;

   Sammanfattning : The signaling within and between cells in biology is governed by molecular recognition between natural or synthetic ligands and proteins. This thesis project aimed to investigate the thermodynamic properties of specific interaction between synthetic ligands and galectin proteins. LÄS MER

3. 2. Transport Coefficients during Drying of Solids containing Multicomponent Mixtures

   Författare :Rafael Gamero; Joaquín Martínez; Evangelos Tsotsas; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; capillary; conduction; convection; diffusion; evaporation; heat transfer; hydraulic conductivity; liquid film; liquid transport; mass transfer; Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients; molar fluxes; phase equilibrium; temperature gradient; ternary mixture; thermodynamic factors; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This study investigated the transport coefficients involved in mass and heat transfer during the drying of a porous solid partially saturated with multicomponent mixtures.  It included the coefficients governing liquid transport through the solid, the matrix of multicomponent diffusion coefficients in the liquid phase, and the effective thermal conductivity.

4. 3. Corresponding States Correlations for the Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties of Refrigerants

   Författare :Maria Sörner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; refrigerant mixtures; corresponding states; parameter estimation; equation of state; refrigerants; thermodynamic properties;

   Sammanfattning : When process equipment such as separation units, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems are simulated or designed, physico-chemical properties of the fluids involved must be known. The outcome of the simulation or design depends on the accuracy of the correlations used in the prediction of physico-chemical data, so it is of the utmost importance that the correlations used correctly describe the properties of the fluids.

5. 4. On thermodynamic and kinetic constraints in autotrophic metabolism

   Författare :Markus Janasch; Elton P. Hudson; Bas Teusink; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; autotrophic metabolism; cyanobacteria; microbial metabolic engineering; computational systems biology; biochemical thermodynamics; kinetic modelling; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Sammanfattning : Earth has entered a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, defined by humanity’s impact on the environment with increased emissions of CO2 due to burning of fossil resource as a major contributor. To ensure a sustainable future, humanity has to move towards a circular economy, where released CO2 is re-captured and turned into resources. LÄS MER

7. 5. How do metamorphic fluids move through rocks? : An investigation of timescales, infiltration mechanisms and mineralogical controls

   Författare :Barbara I. Kleine; Alasdair D. L. Skelton; John C. Schumacher; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metamorphic fluid flow; fluid-rock interaction; fluid infiltration mechanisms; fluid flux rates; thermodynamic modeling; reaction front propagation; fluid flux calculation; Geology; geologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to provide a better understanding of the role of mountain building in the carbon cycle. The amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere due to metamorphic processes is largely unknown. LÄS MER
