Stretching DNA in nanochannels allows for direct, visual studies of genomic DNA at the single molecule level. In order to facilitate the study of the interaction of linear DNA with proteins in nanochannels, we have implemented a highly effective passivation scheme based on lipid bilayers. We show long-term passivation of nanochannel surfaces to several relevant reagents and demonstrate that the pe
To better understand how deformable and non-spherical particles behave in sorting devices based on deterministic lateral displacement we generate models of biological particles with tunable size, shape and mechanical properties using stop-flow lithography and we explore how these parameters play a role in our separation devices. Hollow and solid cylinders are compared with respect to their deforma
We present a simple and rapid microfluidic device capable of extracting and concentrating the parasite causing the fatal disease sleeping sickness (SS) from blood. The device is based on deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) and constructed with a single inlet with flow induced by an ordinary syringe. The simplicity is crucial as the device is intended for use in the resource depraved areas whe
A new chip design for handling and studying chromosomal DNA is described. Folding the nanochannels enables us to image an entire yeast chromosome in a single field of view. Together with existing mapping techniques our new design opens up the possibility of directly analyzing entire chromosomes in a single field of view using fluorescence microscopy. This would enable, for example, identification
We present a simple and inexpensive device capable of extracting and concentrating the parasite causing sleeping sickness from blood. The device is aimed at being used in rural resource depraved areas where the disease is endemic; therefore simplicity is of paramount importance. The device is based on deterministic lateral displacement with a single inlet and flow induced by a syringe. Through an
This paper draws upon an extensive transdisciplinary scenario development in the context of the stakeholder oriented preparation of the climate protection plan of the German federal state North Rhine-Westphalia, which is home to the most important heavy industry cluster in Europe. In that context we developed differentiated bottom up climate change mitigation strategies and scenarios for the major
We present an advanced approach for single-cell analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by integrating an acoustofluidic chip for sample preparation, including simultaneous acoustophoretic separation and enrichment of the separated cells, onto an electroactive microwell array (EMA) for single-cell arraying. The integrated device shows highly efficient cell recovery of target cells (82.5%) and d
We have created devices that are extremely simple to fabricate, function without pumps, are reusable and capable of dealing with very large differences in particle sizes without clogging. Our new approach to microfluidic particle sorting is precise enough for applications in blood fractionation, cancer cell sorting, parasite detection and sample decomplexing in general. We achieve this using Deter
In the ActivAbles and STARR projects we have developed interactive training tools for stroke survivors. A prototype system includes an interactive balance foam pad, feedback lamps and a step counting game app which all connect to a central server. The feedback is designed to be inclusive - designs are multimodal, and the setup is flexible and can easily be adapted. We describe the system and repor
High-power operation of conventional GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is severely limited by current crowding, which increases the bias voltage of the LED, concentrates light emission close to the p-type contact edge, and aggravates the efficiency droop. Fabricating LEDs on thick n-GaN substrates alleviates current crowding but requires the use of expensive bulk GaN substrates and fairly lar
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sotpartiklar i atmosfären är en del av klimatfrågan som är i särskilt stort behov av utredning. Dessutom har det visat sig, att samma partiklar orsakar mycket stora hälsoproblem; globalt, på Europeisk nivå, och till och med i förhållandevis förskonade länder som Sverige. Vi vet nu nästintill helt säkert att mänsklig påverkan leder oss in i ett varmare klimat. Vi behöveAerosol particles contribute significantly to the global burden of disease, and remain the main source of uncertainty in assessments of human-induced climate change. The microphysical characterization of particles is necessary to understand the roles they play in the detrimental effects of air pollution on human health, and in the energy budget of our planet. Soot particles are especially relevant
As our society becomes more and more dependent on IT systems, failures of these systems can harm more and more people and organizations both public and private. Diligently performing risk and hazard analysis helps to minimize the societal harms of IT system failures. In this paper we present experiences gained by applying the System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) method for hazard analysis on a
Recent research has identified the grasslands of the Sahel as a potential carbon sink, but regional carbon stock accounting in such biomes is undermined by the poorly recognized role they play in the carbon cycle as well as lack of data. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of coupling the satellite data-driven light use efficiency model (Lund University Light Use Efficiency Model - LULUE
Corrosion of cables can result in brittle and unexpected failures and represents a critical concern for prestressed concrete bridges with post-tensioned (PT) tendons. In these structures, corrosion is typically facilitated by inadequate grout injection and/or the use of poor-quality mortar during construction. Such deficiencies create favorable conditions for corrosion initiation and propagation.
