The studied protein exists naturally in the human body and can self-assemble into nanospheres at certain physiological conditions. Recently, these nanospheres was found able to bind free heme, the highly reactive gas binding component in hemoglobin which can cause severe tissue damage if in free form in the body. Due to prior experiments, the hypothesis was that the protein-heme binding site conta
Traditional broadcasting of sport events, such as football or icehockey games, require continuos attention of a camera operator in order to capture the area which is of interest to a viewer. In many cases, however, this is not a practical solution, due to e.g. costs, and an automated solution is preferable.
