Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between the "constructed" (built) environment and the natural environment. What defines such a relationship and can the relationship be formulated? Surely a successful union is much like a marriage whereby one part is better than either of the individual parts. This thesis is an exploration into that relationship. It explores the nature of the built environment through the construction in the natural environment. In addition, it explores the possibility of utilizing a set of guidelines to assist the designer in the creation of such a relationship. The pro

In the groundwater analysis, contaminant characteristics and redox indicators were evaluated to assess the reductive dechlorination potential of Site 12. The results of the groundwater analysis indicated that Site 12 exhibited sulfate-reducing and methanogenic conditions which

Abstract:

Natural transformation is the process by which cells take up DNA from the surrounding medium under physiological conditions, altering the genotype in a heritable fashion. This occurs without chemical or physical treatment of the cells. Certain Acinetobacter strains exhibit a strong tendency to incorporate homologous DNA into their chromosomes by natural transformation. Transformation in Acinetobacter exhibits several unique properties that indicate this system's superiority as a model for transformation studies or studies which benefit from the use of transformation as an experimental method

This thesis investigated uranium (U) migration behaviour at the Needle‟s Eye natural analogue site, located close to Southwick Water, South West Scotland. The results of this study are important for the prediction of U behaviour in the far-field environments of nuclear waste repositories over long time-scales. The Needle‟s Eye natural analogue site was selected because the processes involved in U mobilisation, the direction of water flow and the extent of retention of uranium in peaty soils had already been identified.

The integration is mediated by the phage enzyme integrase (Int) and the host factor IHF.

Abstract:

Water is crucial for all life on this planet. Despite this much of our aquatic environments have become affected by pollution and nutrient-loading. One large contributor to the problem is privately owned sewers, also called on-site sewage systems. Currently there are approximately 691 000 on-site sewage systems in Sweden, which carry the infamous distinction of representing one of the largest point sources of phosphorus and nitrogen. Furthermore roughly 180 000 of these sewers are by legal definitions unlawful, because of substandard wastewater treatment. The purpose of this study was to inves

Abstract:

Observations that colloidal natural organic matter (NOM) enhances the migration of pollutants in groundwater have focused scientific interest towards the transport of NOM and its adsorptive properties. A small-scale tracer test was performed at a field site in Georgetown, SC, to investigate the movement of NOM under field conditions. Special emphasis was given to the hydrological heterogeneity of the site,with the idea that the flow field must be accurately known in order to distinguish adsorption from the effects of the hydrological processes. 308 slug tests were performed to characterize the

Abstract:

<p>Molecular chaperones help many proteins in the cell reach their native conformation. The mechanism with which they do this has been studied extensively, but has not been entirely elucidated. This work is a continuation of the study done by Laila Villebeck et al. (2007) on the conformational rearrangements in the eukaryotic protein actin in interaction with the eukaryotic chaperone TRiC. In this study the intentions were to analyze the protein MreB, a prokaryotic homologue to actin, when interacting with the prokaryotic chaperone GroEL. The purpose was to investigate if the mechanisms of Gro

Abstract:

Un moteur diesel faible puissance a était converti en A. C. Puis alimenté au gaz naturel. Les caractéristiques générales de la combustion (délais, durées de combustion, dispersion cyclique) ont été étudiées en fonction du rapport air-gaz, de l'avance à l'allumage, et du type de bougie ainsi que les performances du moteur. Pour le comportement en mélange très pauvre, nous avons déterminé les limites opératoires, analyse le déroulement de la combustion et observe les variations de pression. En utilisant un générateur de turbulence en forme de cône, nous avons reculé les limites pauvres et réduit

Abstract:

As características da regeneração natural no sub-bosque de comunidades florestais em processo de restauração expressam os principais indicadores de sucesso dos projetos de restauração ecológica, sendo que a ausência ou a baixa qualidade de regeneração natural são os principais gargalos para a perpetuação de projetos inseridos em paisagens muito fragmentadas. No entanto, condições adversas de micro-sítio de regeneração sob plantios de restauração podem restringir a colonização do sub-bosque por espécies nativas, comprometendo a sua perpetuação no tempo. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar se, e

Abstract:

The work of this thesis aims to develop of a new workflow to predict potential Sites of Cleavage (SoCs) in new candidate peptide drugs. The main goal of this workflow is to understand the protease specificity rules from data coming from different sources and with no limitations on peptides structure. To complete this goal, we implemented a new algorithm to store the information from experimental and external sources in a chemically aware database WebMetabase. This database can be further enriched with new data without limitations. Moreover, we were able to process information about cyclic pept
