Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous food crop, grown mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions. It has valuable nutrients, however consumption of the seeds is reported to cause lathyrism, due to the presence of a non-protein amino acid (?-ODAP). The present study deals with the development of a process for reducing the ?-ODAP content in grass pea seeds. The consequences of processin

The growing interest in sustainable development indicators (SDI) has resulted in the development and application of various SDI frameworks in the past two decades. Identification and selection of “right” indicators with such frameworks are essential, in the sense that, it is the information from these indicators that will help policy and decision makers to better understand the efficiency, effecti

This intermediate report presents some of the important findings of the research work carried out during the first three years of the CHRISGAS project. The report is aimed at a broad technical-oriented audience such as: engineers with a general interest in the state-of-the-art and new developments in the biomass-to automotive fuel sector, and/or to teachers/lecturers/students in technical subjects

The present contribution discusses features of North Swedish intonational phonology. One characteristic feature is final element stress in compounds occurring particularly in dialects of North Botnia. The idea proposed here is that the accentual pattern (HL) of a compound has a different alignment in these dialects compared to East Standard Swedish. Another characteristic feature is related to a s

There are several characters with a brief appearance in the history of the drama, thus having an apparent minor significance in designing the play. They seem to be mere “working tools” for the playwright. However when relating them to the major issues of the literary product and if integrating them in a larger vision of the whole creation of the author their significance and role can be outlined i

Vilken bild har LO av invandrare och invandrararbetare? Diana Mulinari och Anders Neergaard har forskat om nätverket FAI — Fackligt Aktiva Invandrare — och erfarenheter av kamp inom facket. Hur kan man jobba fackligt om man inte betraktas som ”en riktig arbetare”? Hur skapas medvetanden som samtidigt spänner över klass, kön och etnicitet? Med hjälp av begreppen rasifiering och kulturrasism analyse

Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems have been shown to improve both spectral and energy efficiency one or more orders of magnitude by efficiently exploiting the spatial domain. Low-cost RF chains can be employed to reduce the Base Station (BS) cost, however this may require additional baseband processing to handle induced distortions due to the hardware impairments. In this artic
