As the field of neural organoids and assembloids expands, there is an emergent need for guidance and advice on designing, conducting and reporting experiments to increase the reproducibility and utility of these models. In this Perspective, we present a framework for the experimental process that encompasses ensuring the quality and integrity of human pluripotent stem cells, characterizing and man

Four types of nanoparticles with core-diffuse shell structures have been synthesized through self-assembly of PICBA-Dextran block copolymers. These nanoparticles are designed to carry pharmaceutically active molecules into the human body through injection into the blood stream. In this work, we have determined how the characteristics of the diffuse shell influence the adsorption of three types of

Powders are complex systems that depend strongly on how the individual particles in- teract and their surroundings. Understanding powders behaviour under certain conditions is very important for the product in many applications, one of them being Additive Manu- facturing (AM). The overall goal of this study is to understand and quantify the effect of flow additives in combination with iron powder.

The focus of this work has been to implement a generic netlist reduction engine to speed up circuit simulations. The netlist reduction techniques are further optimized for Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM), wherein we exploit the repetitive pattern of the circuit. There are many driving factors for developing a netlist reduction engine for SRAM simulations. In today's System on Chip (SoC), S

Efficient bioconversion of the pentose xylose is vital for the development of competent lignocellulose biorefineries. Although many proper attempts of metabolic engineering for recombinant xylose utilization have been made in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, growth on xylose is still far from being optimal. Previous findings point out a more complex explanation to this feature involving interactions betw

A great number of studies have explored the motivations that drive software developers to devote their time and efforts to contribute to Open Source Software Development (OSSD) projects. Previous studies have stated that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are important, however there have been different opinions regarding their relative value. This study further researches OSSD motivations a

The purpose of this thesis is to study beam-cavity interactions, with a focus on how to maintain an unperturbed acceleration field in a conducting cavity with a proton beam present. The impact on a cavity acceleration field from different perturbation sources is investigated through computer simulations of a theoreti- cal model based on a resonant circuit. Perturbations from the RF input pulse to

The Swedish government has recently been proposing for a digitization of the spatial plans. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how this digitization would affect the public participation during the process of creating a spatial plan. This will be done by testing the theory of Ladder of participation, created by Sherry Arnstein in 1969, and a theory of participation stairs created by Swedi

Analysing eye movements recorded with mobile eye-tracking devices is difficult since the eye-tracking signals are severely affected by simultaneous head and body movements. The automatic analysis methods developed for static eye-tracking systems do not take this into account and are therefore not suitable for application to data which also contains head and body movements. As a result, data record

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the possibility of enabling biometric identification given a large number of enrolled users. This area is relatively unexplored compared to biometric authentication where a fingerprint template is compared against just a few number of templates. The selected approach is to use auxiliary information available during an identification. This information will b

The goal of risk and vulnerability research is to reduce the harm done by disasters. A disaster is a combination of a natural hazard and a vulnerable society. Understanding vulnerability is vital to reduce disaster risk, or the potential of losses in property or life. Vulnerability is often divided into a technical, relating to buildings, infrastructure, and so forth, and a social which concerns t

The Implementation and some mathematical properties of GMRES and weighted GMRES (WGMRES) are described. Numerical experiments originally performed by Essai (1998) are performed to compare the two methods. GMRES and WGMRES are used to solve a linear system arising from the Poisson equation and compared with respect to computational effort.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, defined by abnormal accumulation of proteins, both extracellularly (senile plaques, consisting of amyloid-beta(Aβ) accumulation) and intracellularly (neurofibrillary tangles, formed by Tau protein). Several studies demonstrate that the immune cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, but it is not known if immune cells from the peri

Machine-learning methods have in recent years seen a great deal of use in condensed matter physics. In this thesis we apply such methods, specifically machine-learning with artificial neural networks, to the equilibrium and non-equilibrium description of the Hubbard and Hubbard-Holstein models. In the framework of ground-state density functional theory we reproduce results from the literature rega

Mesosideriter är sällsynta sten-järnmeteoriter med ett gåtfullt ursprung. Deras ovanliga blandning av skorp- och kärnmaterial har föranlett många bildningsteorier under det senaste århundradet. Några frågor har avsett ursprunget till metallen, huruvida den kom från en annan himlakropp, eller från moderkroppens egen kärna, samt varför det finns så pass lite mantelmaterial. Nedslag har haft en centrMesosiderites are rare stony-iron meteorites with enigmatic origins. Their unusual mix of crustal and core materials have inspired many formation theories over the last century. Some of the outstanding questions have regarded the origin of the metal, whether it came from another celestial body or from within the parent body, and the absence of mantle material. The role of impacts has been central

A fluorescence system was developed by using several light emitting diodes (LEDs) with different wavelengths as excitation light sources. The fluorescence sensor head consists of multi LED light sources and a multimode fiber for fluorescence collection, where the LEDs and the corresponding filters can be easily chosen to get appropriate excitation wavelengths for different applications.
