Biodiversity conservation and compensations for nature and people: from current challenges to future tools
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-11-03)
ABSTRACT
World is facing an environmental crisis as biodiversity continues to decrease and ecosystems degrade at an alarming rate mainly because of global land use changes. Urgent actions are needed to prevent further ...
The molecular mechanisms of rapid thermal adaptation in European grayling
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-02-09)
Adaptation is a key evolutionary process which may be important to maintain population viability during rapid environmental changes. The European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) is a freshwater salmonid that effectively ...
Monitoring cellular Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and GTP associated proteins
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-03-01)
Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) is an essential molecule for cell survival and function. Although free GTP plays a crucial role in several cellular processes, most studies focus solely on the protein bound GTP and its ...
A Palearctic Contribution to Bat Fungal Disease Puzzle - Environmental Factors, Host Communities, Overwintering Habitats and Climate Change Contribute to the Manifestation of White-nose Disease
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-02-17)
White-nose disease (WND) is a fungal disease of hibernating bats, caused by the psychrophilic fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans. The disease was first discovered in 2006, when hibernating bats in upstate New York were ...
New Insight into the depositional and tectonic constraints over the Paleogene and Neogene evolution within the Arabian Peninsula
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-01-19)
Geological studies over the Arabian Peninsula were initiated in the 1930s, and 30 years later an area equivalent to 3.5 million km2 was covered, laying the groundwork for the stratigraphic nomenclature of the Arabian ...
Cantilever enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy: The First two decades
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-02-29)
Two decades ago, the first experiments with a novel optical microphone using a small silicon cantilever as its sensing element were conducted at the University of Turku. In retrospect, those experiments revealed the potential ...
Exploring novel ways to improve the MRI-based image segmentation in the head region
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-04-19)
Accurate electron density information is extremely important in positron emission tomography (PET) attenuation correction (AC) and radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning (RTP), especially in the head region, as many interesting ...
Studies of oxide-semiconductor and metal-semiconductor interfaces for reducing defect densities
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-01-26)
This thesis presents experimental studies of two fundamental components of electronic devices: an oxide- and metal-semiconductor interface. The importance of these interfaces increases continuously when a device size is ...
Geometry and topology of multiscale fracture networks - Methodology and characterization
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-05-03)
The study of bedrock fracture networks is essential for applications such as modelling fluid flow, predicting radionuclide and geothermal heat transfer as well as overcoming bedrock engineering challenges since the fractures ...
Electrocatalysts for environmental mitigation: Synthesis, characterization and application
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-05-10)
The growing environmental crisis has strengthened interest in conversion technologies within the chemical industry, particularly in the reducing of greenhouse gases and minimizing toxic chemicals. To combat these issues, ...
