Membrane lipid frustration : Contribution of ceramide and its effects on lateral segregation
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 17.06.2021)Ceramides are both sphingolipid precursor molecules and breakdown products with effects on membranes that are of interest both from biophysical and physiological points of view. When present in a membrane, ceramide induces ... -
Coulometric Transduction Method for Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrodes
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 11.06.2021)As one of the pioneering works in the field of solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SCISEs), a new coulometric transduction method was proposed by Bobacka’s group from Åbo Akademi University. This thesis work was carried ... -
Optimizing Stateful Serverless Computing
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 28.05.2021)Stateful serverless computing is a new paradigm within cloud computing. It successfully incorporates state management with serverless computing. Serverless computing is a form of cloud computing where the servers necessary ... -
Applications of Max-Plus Algebra to Scheduling
(Åbo Akademis förlag - Åbo Akademi University Press, 12.05.2021)Max-plus algebra provides mathematical theory and techniques for solving nonlinear problems that can be given the form of linear problems, when arithmetical addition is replaced by the operation of maximum and arithmetical ... -
DIANA : Distributed and Safe Autonomous Navigation for a Swarm of Autonomous Vehicles
(Åbo Akademi University, 07.05.2021)The autonomous systems are typical examples of complex distributed cyber-physical systems (CPS). The main characteristics of such systems is the use of autonomous vehicles. They are increasingly used in various mission-critical ... -
Application of LC-MS for the identification and quantification of pharmaceuticals and their transformation products during catalytic ozonation
(Åbo Akademi University, 19.02.2021)The presence of pharmaceuticals in the environment is of concern due to their harmful effect on aquatic organisms. Because of this, it is important that they are effectively removed in wastewater treatment plants. Conventional ... -
Development of Novel Drugs Targeting Chaperones of Oncogenic K-Ras
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 12.02.2021)KRAS mutations account globally for about one million deaths per year, but there is as yet no approved drug against KRAS. K-Ras proteins are organized into di-/oligomeric nanoscale signaling complexes, known as nanoclusters ... -
Hilbert matrix, Volterra and weighted composition operators on Banach spaces of analytic functions
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 11.12.2020)Avsikten med denna avhandling är att studera två klassiska linjära integraloperatorer, Hilbertmatrisoperatorn H och den generaliserade Volterraoperatorn Tϕg mellan Banachrum av analytiska funktioner på den öppna enhetsdisken ... -
Performance Exploration and Testing of Web-based Software Systems
(Åbo Akademi University, 07.12.2020)Modern society relies heavily on a wide range of inter-connected software systems for finance, energy distribution, communication, and transportation. The era of controlled communication in closed networks for limited ... -
Facilitation and Feedbacks in Seagrass Communities : Testing the Role and Context-Dependency of Ecosystem Engineers
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 18.12.2020)In physically unstable habitats such as coastal soft sediments, facilitative interactions are essential for structuring associated ecological communities. Here, habitat amelioration by ecosystem engineers such as seagrasses, ... -
Cellular regulation of the Notch signaling pathway by Notch-interacting proteins
(Åbo Akademi University, 25.09.2020)The Notch signaling mechanism is a crucial regulator of stem cells during development and tissue regeneration. Transcriptional activation of Notch target genes requires cleavage of the Notch receptor in response to ligand ... -
Hitting times in urn models and occupation times in one-dimensional diffusion models
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 11.09.2020)The main subject of this thesis is certain functionals of Markov processes. The thesis can be said to consist of three parts. The first part concerns hitting times in urnmodels, which are Markov processes in discrete time. ... -
Explicit results in theory of zeros and prime numbers
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 28.08.2020)This thesis is comprised of three articles in which we prove explicit estimates for different number theoretical problems.In the first article we derive an explicit Riemann-von Mangoldt formula for the Selberg class ... -
Target Controllability of Cancer Networks
(Åbo Akademi University, 12.06.2020)Advances in the field of complex networks theory and network biology pave a new way to define human health through the study of networks of proteins, genes, metabolites, modules across cell signaling pathways, and clinical ... -
Coastal Habitats and their Importance for the Biodiversity of Faunal Communities
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 24.06.2020)Coastal habitats represent highly productive areas serving important functions for multiple organism groups. These shallow areas generally maintain high faunal biodiversity, providing important ecosystem goods and services, ... -
Zoobenthos as indicators of marine habitats in the northern Baltic Sea
(Åbo Akademi University, 05.06.2020)Zoobenthos are beneficial indicators of habitat quality and environmental stress and change due to their longevity and how they react species-specifically to abiotic factors. This PhD, consisting of four published papers, ... -
Drivers of plankton populations in the Baltic Sea
(Åbo Akademi University, 20.05.2020)Plankton are at the base of the food chain, and identifying their drivers is important for understanding how climate change will impact populations and communities. The main aim of my thesis was to quantify the effects of ...
