Fermenterade mejeriprodukter har utvecklats i flera samhällen, och idag är yoghurt den mest populära fermenterade mejeriprodukten över hela världen. En av svårigheterna med bearbetning och modellering av fermenterade mejeriprodukter är deras komplexa beteende, som orsakas av den gelstruktur som bildas under fermentering samt deras anisotropiska natur. För Tetra Pak är de enklaste reologimodellerIt is difficult to predict the flow behaviour of yoghurt during processing because it is a complex fluid that is problematic to characterise. This study correlated measurable flow properties to issues during automatic filling. Yoghurt is currently the most popular fermented dairy product world wide. The complexity of yoghurt causes its viscosity, the property describing resistance to flow, to cha

This thesis aims to explore the potential benefits of the future Lundium station with the augmentation of anti-Compton shields com- posed by a set of BGO scintillator bars. The effects of anti-Compton shields was in- v

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the cost of equity estimates are a function of the systematic risk relative to the market portfolio. The market portfolio is a non-observable portfolio containing all investible assets in the world. CAPM is a well-established model in practice. However, most practitioners use an equity-only proxy to calculate the estimated cost of equity. In thi
