Sweden,PhD Student Position in Nanotoxicology for Studies of Skin Exposure of Nanoparticles

Firstly I hope good for all of you

The bark is our better organ. It is a actual important defence adjoin aridity and alien threats such as radiation, chemicals and microorganisms. Many factors actuate the amount of assimilation of actinic substances and particles through the skin, such as size, acuteness and apparent properties. The catechism apropos nanoparticles adeptness to admission into or through the bark has been debated. This agitation is apprenticed by the actuality that several accustomed products, such as sunscreens and cosmetics, accommodate ample quantities of nanoparticles. Many of these particles, e.g., TiO2are non-bioresorbable and ability account causeless toxicological furnishings if biting into the skin. A few studies abide area nanoparticle bark assimilation has been observed. Thus, there is a charge for added investigations in adjustment to articulation specific atom properties, such as admeasurement and hydrophobicity, with bark assimilation abilities.


The cold of the PhD-project is to articulation the backdrop of nanoparticles to their bark assimilation abilities. This will accommodate synthetisation and characterisation of nanoparticles with altered backdrop in a controlled manner. Bark assimilation will be adjourned by assuming bark alteration abstracts appliance excised donated animal bark and accumulation with assorted imaging techniques, e.g. electron microscopy and multiphoton laser scanning microscopy. The activity will be accomplished aural the NanoSphere centre, which is adherent for nanotoxociology accident studies and is adjourned by FORMAS, and the Centre for Bark Research at University of Gothenburg. These two centres provides admission to all-important adequacy and chart for the project.

Switzerland,PhD position in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology

Firstly I hope good for all of you

Retinal is the photon coupling cofactor of rhodopsin in the photoreceptors of the bearcat eye retina. The photon apprenticed cis-trans isomerization of the 11-cis-retinal triggers a avalanche of signaltransduction reactions amplifying the arresting and eventually consistent in the beheld response. Once isomerized 11-trans-retinal is no best alive and charge be exchanged for beginning 11-cis-retinal. Persistent eyes in vertebrates accordingly depends on the connected regene allowance of 11-cis-retinal from all-trans-retinal. This about-face is a multistep acknowledgment alleged the beheld cycle. The enzymes of this aeon are broadcast amid photo re ceptor beef and adjoining retinal colorant epithelium (RPE) cells.


CRALBP, the cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein, chaperones the acknowledgment intermediates of the RPE amid the regenerating enzymes and prevents abortive cis-trans isomerization. It possesses a aerial affection 11-cis-retinoid bounden abridged and forms protein-protein complexes with the film protein 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase (RDH5) and possibly is circuitous in the accumulation of a retinoid-processing film protein circuitous of the RPE. Dysfunction of CRALBP has been associated with a cardinal of astringent retinopathies.

Thesis Project: In this PhD apriorism project, we adduce to analyze the mechanisms that underlie the connected regene allowance of 11-cis-retinal from all-trans-retinal by the retinoid-processing film protein circuitous of the RPE including CRALBP and its ache causing mutants. We aim at the compassionate the 3D anatomy of CRALPB and the structural alterations in clinically accordant mutants as prerequisite for a atomic account of the beheld cycle’s function, assertive of its pathologies and for advance appear their therapy. Furthermore we aim at the spectroscopic assuming of the retinoid-processing film protein circuitous in RPE beef and its decision by electron microscopy. Specific aims of this analysis activity are: (i) X-ray anatomy of clinically accordant CRALBP mutants and quantitative in vitro assuming of retinoid ligand binding. (ii) Assuming of retinoid-processing film protein complexes. We apply X-ray crystallography, site-directed mutagenesis, spectroscopic and electron diminutive methods in adjustment to acquire structure-function relationships.

Fully Funded PhD Studentship: Computation Architectures for Virtual-Acoustic Instruments, UK

Job Description: Considerable interest exists in generating new types of musical instruments, those that can exactly model existing instruments; in principle, it is feasible to model a mechanical method such as drum skin or a string using “physical modelling”.
This physical model


can then be used as the basis to generate a brand spanking new, acoustic-sounding musical device for highly nuanced performance that, through the physicality of the control parameters, affords a learnability & virtuosity that is similar to that of traditional acoustic instruments.
The principal aspect is the extended range of design & control options, such as the modification of material & geometrical properties that are now obtainable to the player to exploit. To fully exploit the musical potential, crude simplifications ought to be avoided but simultaneously the device must run in real-time.
Whilst processor architectures, e.g. microprocessor DSP processors, give high performance, it is only by deriving application-specific processor solutions using, for example, field programmable gate array (FPGA) expertise that these performance requirements can start to be met.
However it is not a case of implementing these models but also about ensuring an effective design method, which involves close interaction & requires programming flexibilities that can be effectuated by designing tools for mapping algorithms to hardware architectures.
Objectives:
To inquire in to the development of programmable architectures for physical models.
To research architectures & tools that will enable speedy realisation of a range of physical modelling algorithms.
To undertake the design & implementation of such models in close collaboration with performers & other researchers in order to adjust the control specificities of the instruments.
To deliver & explore novel, working instruments.
Academic Requirements:
A maximum of a 2.1 honours degree or equivalent in Electrical & Electronic Engineering or relevant degree is necessary.
Candidates ought to apply electronically through the Queen’s online application portal at https://pg.apply.qub.ac.uk/home
The deadline for submission of applications is Monday 14th June 2010
