The Roles for Early Responsive to Dehydration 15 and Early Responsive to Dehydration 15-Like in Guard Cells Functioning
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: Availability of water is important for plants as it is frequently a limiting stress factor for plants. Drought is one of the most common environmental stresses that soil plants are exposed to and it distresses ... -
Image-based automated leaf area calculation using OpenCV
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: Analyzing RGB images with the help of computer vision is an affordable and reliable tool to study plants. This approach is becoming widely used due to the low cost of high-resolution RGB cameras and the ... -
Classification of Alzheimer’s Disease From MRI Images
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: In this thesis work machine learning techniques are used to classify MRI brain scans of people with Alzheimers Disease. This work deals with binary classification between Alzheimers Disease (AD) and Cognitively ... -
Deep Eutectic Solvents as Electrolytes in Ionic Electromechanically Active Polymer Actuators
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: In the twenty-first century, electroactive polymer actuators have found new application as artificial muscles. Previously, the bending efficiency was in the priority, that is why ionic liquids have been used ... -
L-Phenylalanine Biosensor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: In vivo biosensors can be used for the detection of intracellular and extracellular stimuli leading to a reporter molecule response. Biosensors are becoming increasingly popular in synthetic biology and ... -
Flow cytometry analysis of fluorescently-labelled extracellular vesicles
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: In the recent decade, there was a rise of interest in extracellular vesicles (EVs) due to their potential as biomarkers and drug delivery. However, for better understanding of extracellular vesicles standardized ... -
Molecular characterization of microglial populations in CX3CR1-GFP mutant mouse line in an LPS induced inflammatory model
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). They constitute the first line of defence within the CNS. Microglia have a crucial role in the development of the central nervous ... -
Redundant salicylate 1-hydroxylase genes of the Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes C70
(Tartu Ülikool, 2019)In English: Naphthalene, salicylate and phenol-degrading Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes C70 has two redundant salicylate 1-hydroxylases genes, n ahG and n ahW. The comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of n ahW ... -
Gesture Detection Software for Human-Robot Collaboration
(2020)With robots becoming more complex machines with more actions available at their disposal, it becomes harder for humans to control them without prior training. I propose a gesture detection system which uses OpenPose and ... -
Quantitative evaluation of sodium and potassium salts stress in yeasts
(2020)Saline stress is commonly encountered by microbial cell factories. The molecular mechanisms of saline stress are identified in the conventional budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is used in biotechnology. However, ... -
Deep learning based protein-protein interaction prediction using universal protein sequence representations
(2020)Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI) govern key biological events in the cell and serve as a basis for understanding disease mechanisms and developing treatments. Currently used PPI predictive methods that rely on information ... -
How sex influences the effect of genetic variants on gene expression?
(2020)Complex human traits and disease prevalence and risks vary between women and men. It is important to understand and interpret the effect genetic variants have on cells to manage disease and differences in phenotypes. As ...
