Effekten av temperatur på kaseinmicellstruktur i kaseinmicellkoncentrat. Anders Lindqvist: 2015 Med mål om att optimera produktionen av koncentrerade mjölkproteinlösningar och att få bättre kunskap om mjölkproteinet, kasein, och hur det påverkas av temperaturförändringar studerades förändringarna av koncentrerad mjölkproteinlösning efter att ha blivit utsatt för olika temperaturer. De förändrinThe viscosity of concentrated casein solutions play a vital part in the product quality of medical nutrition as well as for the energy consumption in spray drying. Previous work has shown that a lower viscosity can be achieved through processing (Hemar et al. 2011). This project focused on the effect on temperatures on micellar casein isolate (MCI). A temperature range of 5-90 °C has been studied

The motivation for this study is both empirically and theoretically driven. Empirically, there have been many studies aiming to quantify and explain IRHI but relatively few have inv

Med direktiv 2008/52 EG avser kommissionen främja uppgörelser om tvister i godo, särskilt genom medling. Direktivet kräver att medlemsstaterna ger domstolarna befogenhet att föreslå parterna i målet att denna metod används, dock utan att tvinga dem att använda den. I Sverige har detta direktiv implementerats genom Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttsliga tvister. Uppsatsen ger en förklaThrough Directive 2008/52/EC the European Union intends to encourage amicable dispute resolution, particularly through the use of mediation The Directive requires the Member States to authorise the courts to suggest the use of this method to the litigants, without, however, compelling them to use it. In Sweden, this directive was implemented through Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttslig

Research on financial crises is important and especially relevant nowadays when the economy is slowing down globally. The crisis 2007-8 and the Great Depression of the 20th century are the longest and most severe financial calamities ever experienced and they share some eerie similarities with the Panic of 1857 – they all originate in the US but have international implications because they take pl

Den termiska klimatupplevelsen påverkas mest av lufttemperaturen som är enkel att mäta med en vanlig termometer, men för att ta reda på hur temperaturen i ett rum upplevs räcker det inte med att enbart undersöka lufttemperaturen. Även om lufttemperaturen ligger på en komfortabel nivå så kan en kall yta i närheten få personen att känna att det är kyligt i rummet och på motsvarande sätt kan varma ytThe thermal climate experience is most affected by air temperature that is easy to measure with a standard thermometer, but to find out how the temperature in a room is felt it is not enough to merely examine the air temperature. Even if the air temperature is at a comforta-ble level, then a cold surface near get the person to feel that it is chilly in the room and cor-respondingly the hot surface

Hydrauliska parametrar är viktiga att kunna mäta i samband med stadsplanering, prospektering och för att få fram information om hur en möjlig föroreningstransport genom jordlager och berggrund skulle kunna ske.
