- The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium is a collaborative network of researchers working together on a range of large-scale studies that integrate data from 70 institutions worldwide. Organized into Working Groups that tackle questions in neuroscience, genetics, and medicine, ENIGMA studies have analyzed neuroimaging data from over 12,826 subjects. In addition, data from 12,171 individuals were provided by the CHARGE consortium for replication of findings, in a total of 24,997 subjects. By meta-analyzing results from many sites, ENIGMA has detected factors that affect the brain that no individual site could detect on its own, and that require larger numbers of subjects than any individual neuroimaging study has currently collected. ENIGMA's first project was a genome-wide association study identifying common variants in the genome associated with hippocampal volume or intracranial volume. Continuing work is exploring genetic associations with subcortical volumes (ENIGMA2) and white matter microstructure (ENIGMA-DTI). Working groups also focus on understanding how schizophrenia, bipolar illness, major depression and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affect the brain. We review the current progress of the ENIGMA Consortium, along with challenges and unexpected discoveries made on the way.

Processing of gluconic acid derivatives to value added monosaccharides via oxidative degradation
- 2012

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the components that can be efficiently obtained, e.g., via fermentation of polysaccharide containing waste or biomass, is glucose and some of its derivatives. Degradation of C6 carbohydrates yields corresponding C5 sugars. In case of gluconic acid, the product is arabinose. The reaction, illustrating a valuable synthetic route, e.g., for the abatement of waste streams containing gluconic acid is shown. In spite of high yields, the reaction is characterized by complex analytics due to the presence of organic as well as inorganic by-products. Under optimized conditions, yields between 70-80% could be achieved. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the CHISA 2012 - 20th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering and PRES 2012 - 15th Conference PRES (Prague, Czech Republic 8/25-29/2012).
