Pētījumi par rauga Ogataea polymorpha rezistenci pret benzalkonija hlorīdu atkarībā no kultūras fizioloģiskā stāvokļa

2018

Benzalkonija hlorīds (BAC) ir sastopams dažādos ikdienā lietojamos produktos. Šis savienojums regulāri nonāk tieši notekūdeņos. Zināms, ka BAC ir toksisks dažādiem mikroorganismiem. Tomēr ir mikroorganismi, kuriem ir novērota rezistence un spēja degradēt BAC. Starp potenciālajiem BAC degradētājiem ir arī raugi. Ogataea polymorpha jau ir pierādījusi spējas degradēt tādas toksiskas vielas, kā formaldehīds, kā arī spēju sadarboties ar bioloģiskajām notekūdeņu attīrīšanas iekārtas dūņām. Darba mērķis bija salīdzināt O. polymorpha NCYC495 ar O. polymorpha cat8Δ izturību pret BAC paaugstinātās koncentrācijas ≥100 mg/L. Lai šo mērķi sasniegtu, tika izmantotas dažādas metodes. Barotnes sastāva iete…

Augu vīrusu strukturālo proteīnu domēni antigēnu multimerizācijai

2018

Maģistra darba mērķis ir pārbaudīt ekspresēto un attīrīto ApMV un CMV CP N-gala sajūgtos domēnus ar eGFP un PADRE T-šūnu epitopu oligomerizācijas īpašības un imunogenitāti peļu modelī, salīdzinot datus ar veselas vīrusveidīgās daļiņas imunogenitāti, ko varētu izmantot turpmākiem eksperimentiem imunoloģiski nozīmīga epitopa pārbaudē. Maģistra darbs tika izstrādāts no 2016. gada septembra līdz 2018. gada maijam Augu virusoloģijas grupā Latvijas Biomedicīnas pētījumu un studiju centrā, Dr. biol. Andra Zeltiņa un Dr. biol. Inas Baļķes vadībā. Darba gaitā, papildus bakalaura darba ietvaros izveidotām konstrukcijām, tika izveidotas vēl divas konstrukcijas, kur CP N-terminālie domēni, papildus eGF…

Evolution of intermolecular contacts with temperature and pressure in bromoethane and iodo­ethane – a comparative study

2022

At ambient conditions two liquids, bromo­ethane, C2H5Br (MBE, m.p. 154.6 K) and iodo­ethane, C2H5I (MIE, m.p. 162.1 K), have been crystallized under both isobaric and isochoric conditions using in situ low-temperature and high-pressure techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, supported by the isothermal compressibility and isobaric differential scanning calorimetry measurements, allowed the monitoring and analysis at low temperature and high pressure of the effects of externally induced changes in MBE and MIE. The monoclinic MBE and MIE crystals are found to be isostructural. They are stable, in the investigated regimes, i.e. down to 100 K/0.1 MPa and up to ∼295 K/3.7 GPa, …

Understanding space in ephemeral organizations: contributions of commented walksThis article examines a particular type of ephemeral organization in which institutional and secular actors are connected resting upon on a strong territorial basis. Their fleeting quality is however compatible with a certain degree of permanency. The authors question the sources and resources of such permanency and insist on the role of space in coordinating collective action, and in this case, in preventing urban incivilities. They call on an unusual method, called Commented Walks, to capture the relation between such organizations and space.

Resistance during the armed conflict in the Chocó, Colombia : a case study on the development of territorial and cultural resistance of the indigeno…

2007

This Master’s thesis aims to study the resistance process of the indigenous communities of the Colombian department of Chocó and the development of this process into potential grass-roots peace initiative via a particular form of identity reaffirmation through ancestral territories. Particularly, this studies focus on the conflict territorialization and the consequential inclusion of indigenous territories into the conflict logic, which has promoted the development of an indigenous resistance process derived from a defense of territories as basis for identity construction. The thesis illustrates the change of the logic of conflict and the resultant development of an indigenous organizationa…

Dual stereocontrolled alkylation of aldehydes with polystyrene-supported nickel complexes derived from α-amino amides

2015

Nickel(II) complexes derived from α-amino amide ligands anchored to gel-type and monolithic polymers act as efficient catalysts for the enantioselective addition of dialkylzinc reagents to aldehydes. Similar to the analogous homogeneous systems, dual stereocontrol in addition products can be achieved by controlling the stoichiometry of the immobilized nickel complex. Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were alkylated in good yields with enantioselectivities comparable to those obtained with the homogeneous analogues. These polymer-supported catalysts offer significant advantages as no metal leaching is observed and they can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and…

A new application for nickel foam in alkaline fuel cells

2009

The use of nickel foam as an electrode substrate in alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) has been investigated for bi-polar cells incorporating an electrically conducting gas diffusion layer. This contribution focuses on the cathode, and draws comparisons between nickel foam and nickel mesh substrates. One of the principal electrocatalysts for the cathodic reduction of oxygen is silver, so an improvement in electrochemical performance was obtained by electroplating the nickel foam with silver. The electrodeposition process was optimised to maximise electrochemical performance with a minimum of silver deposited. Nickel foam, which is less expensive than the usual nickel mesh, appears to be a good subs…

Total oxidation of propane in vanadia-promoted platinum-alumina catalysts: Influence of the order of impregnation

2015

Differently prepared vanadium promoted Pt/alumina catalysts have been prepared, characterized and tested for propane total oxidation. V-promoted Pt/Al2O3 catalysts have shown remarkably higher catalytic activity than V-free Pt/Al2O3 catalyst. Among V-promoted Pt catalysts that prepared by coimpregnation gave the highest alkane conversions in the whole range of reaction temperatures studied. Factors such as Pt particle size or the oxidation state of platinum do not seem to be the responsible for the enhanced performance. Modification of the redox properties of the catalyst (i.e. high reducibility of vanadium species) likely provoked by the close contact between platinum particles and vanadiu…

Anion exchange membrane based on alkali doped poly(2,5-benzimidazole) for fuel cell

2012

Abstract The properties of alkali doped poly(2,5-benzimidazole) membrane with different alkali doping levels for fuel cell application are reported in this work. The alkali doping level played an important role for the ion conductivity of the membrane. The ion conductivity significantly increased with alkali doping level. The ion conductivity also increased with the temperature. The ion conductivity of the alkali doped ABPBI membrane (alkali doping level = 0.37), reached to 2.3 × 10 − 2  S cm − 1 at room temperature and 7.3 × 10 − 2  S cm − 1 at 100 °C. The water uptake of the alkali doped ABPBI membrane was increased from 9.1% to 19.2% with increasing alkali doping level at room temperatur…
