Oat starch, like starch from other plants, is composed of amylose and amylopectin. The arrangement and abundance of these polysaccharides offers distinct properties to the formed starch. Starch with an elevated amount of amylose is of commercial interest and amount of amylose present in oats differs within cultivars. In this study, a mutant oat population developed by CropTailor was screened usin

In induction heating processes with complex workpiece geometries or stringent requirements, more than one induction coil is usually needed to obtain acceptable results. One objective could be to achieve uniform heating, with minimal temperature variations throughout the workpiece. One frequency converter for each induction coil could be used, but it would not be cost-effective, and instead, it is

In this thesis, a study is made into relative positioning and control systems for flying wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) intended to be used by the Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS) for the purpose of providing assistance during sea rescue missions. The particular scenario of interest is robust relative positioning to be used for autonomous landing of a MAV on a boat at the end of a rescue missi

This case study examines the American decision to cross the 38th parallel into North Korea in October 1950 during the Korean War. In the early stages of the war the southern and UN forces were pushed back, but with an amphibious landing at Inchon the tides changed and eventually the 38th parallel was crossed. The study employs constructivist realism to shed new light on the motivations and societa

This thesis aims at investigating the interaction between thermal gradients and acoustic fields in microfluidic devices. In the research branch of Acoustofluidics, which bridges together acoustics and fluid dynamics, inhomogeneity in the medium has gained great interest due to the novel physics behind and the potential in manipulating submicrometer particles. Concentration gradients of solute mole

This thesis analyzes the association between MSA-level segregation and labour market and educational outcomes in the US for individuals belonging to the three largest racial minorities in the US, namely blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. Five different measurements of segregation are included in the analysis and the results are compared across outcomes and minority groups. Data is collected from the I

This study investigates volatility spillover between the prices of electricity at Nord Pool, carbon emission allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and tradable green certificates (TGC) in the Swedish-Norwegian TGC market. ETS and TGC schemes are market-based policies with the overlapping goals of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and stimulating sustainable energy investments. A

Social anti-individualists suggest that the social environment enters into the individuation of psychological contents. This is defended by the now-famous arthritis thought experiment. Nevertheless, counterarguments have been proposed that aim to undermine the thought experiment. We identify two intuitions that underlie the thought experiment and evaluate five counterarguments in relation to these

The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a project currently with 17 Partner Countries, and with Sweden and Denmark as host nations. The ESS main facility is being constructed in Lund, to ultimately become the world’s most powerful neutron source, providing around 30 times brighter neutron beams than any earlier facility. The Linear Accelerator, Linac, at the heart of ESS is fundamentally powered

Climate change, along with grassland degradation, have become major causes of livelihood difficulties for herdsmen in Inner Mongolia for the past few decades. The purpose of this study is to seek better understanding of the relationships between climate change and herders’ livelihoods in pastoral communities in Inner Mongolia, map out the major institutional changes on climate adaptation measures

The eye as a window to the brain in heart failure. When the heart is injured such as after a heart attack, it may not be able to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. This is especially dangerous for organs like the brain that need a lot of oxygen and nutrients to function. The lack of normal blood supply leaves patients more likely to develop progressive cognitive impairment (CI) and

Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning. Målet var att utveckla en produkt som kan lyfta användaren från sittandes till There exist many different designs of lifting aids and walking aids, but barely any solutions that can do both. This thesis is based on a person with mobility impairment with specific needs for which there were yet no adapted solution. The goal was to design a product that can lift the user from sitting to standing position and then be a walking aid by supporting the user by the armpits, all this
