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

Vi lever idag i en värld vars system och strukturer tillåter oss människor att konsumera och producera långt över våra tillgångar. Om inga åtgärder görs riskerar vi oåterkalleliga förändringar i klimat och miljö som kommer att påverka förutsättningarna för kommande generationer. Klimatkrisen är global men vi måste agera lokalt. Nu. Hur vi utformar byggnader och samhällen har stor inverkan på milj

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

I Sverige har flertalet naturolyckor inträffat genom tiderna och det är även idag vanligt med olika typer av naturolyckor. Dessa förväntas i framtiden inträffa mer frekvent och bli allt mer omfattande till följd av klimatförändringarna. Naturolyckor kan kategoriseras som geologiska, biologiska och hydrometeorologiska. Den sistnämnda är väderrelaterade olyckor och i många fall blir den kommunala räIn Sweden, natural disasters have been occurring for many years and will continue to do so in the future. Not all types of natural disasters are possible in Sweden. This thesis will therefore focus on natural disaster that are more likely to occur in Sweden, based on previous incidents and predictions for the future, namely forest fire and floods. In this thesis, an investigation of municipal Fire

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

The world has been affected by a pandemic virus called SARS-CoV-2 and caused a high level of deaths. Does the level of relative humidity have an effect on the spread? Different levels of the relative humidity has different affection on humans from a medical aspect. Is there an optimal level of the relative humidity? In this report there is a study on how the level of relative humidity indoor affec

Abstrakt Bakgrund: I takt med att förlossningsvården centraliseras och avståndet till förlossningsavdelningar ökar kommer ambulanssjuksköterskor troligtvis att behöva assistera vid fler prehospitala förlossningar. Med begränsad utbildning och erfarenheter kan sådana situationer upplevas stressande. Syfte: Att undersöka ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser och erfarenheter av prehospitala förlossnin

The wood pulp industry has been around for a long time, but new higher quality pulp require more advanced solutions to old processes. One of these processes is the peroxide (PO) bleaching process, which is the last of a whole chain of bleaching processes at the Mörrum pulp processing plant. The aim of this thesis was to develop and study a model for the peroxide pulp bleaching process, and thereaf

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

Denna uppsats heter ”Rankinglogikens påverkan på universitetsvärlden” och är skriven av Emma Helton och Lisa Truedsson på Institutionen för kommunikation och medier vid Lunds universitet. Samhällets digitalisering har underlättat insamlingen av data, och därmed skapat bättre förutsättningar för kvantifiering och ranking. Detta leder till att vi rankar fler områden som formar hur vi förstår och vär

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

NIS concepts are increasingly being utilised to inform public policy, both in the developed and developing world. This paper attempts to add to the discourse on how it is being applied within a developing context, particularly within a country aiming to transition into one developing its own innovation capabilities. By examining Malaysia as a case study, utilising NIS literature, domestic innovati

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

Nibe Industrier har vuxit från att vara ett lokalt svenskt bolag till en global koncern med dotterbolag runt om i hela världen. Företaget värnar om sina rötter och har således kvar huvudkontoret i Markaryd där de investerar mycket i produktion lokalt. Examensarbetet utfördes på dotterbolaget Nibe AB i Markaryd inom affärsområdet Climate Solutions med specialinriktning på värmepumpar.

Utifrån vandringar och undersökningar skapas ett lokalt förankrat konstnärsresidens i vilket man som konstnär och besökare har goda möjligheter att bygga vidare på den karaktär som mittskåne erbjuder. Inspiration har hämtats från lokala författare och diktare men också från bygden i sig. Frostavallen, vilket valet av site föll på, har ett rikt förflutet och en unik historia. Genom det här projekteBased on hikes and research an artist residency is created where one as a visitor or artist have a good prospect of creating something within the unique character of mittskåne. Inspiration has been found in local authors and poets but also from the area itself. Frostavallen, which became the site of this project, has a rich and very interesting past. Through this project I hope to revitalise the 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

In this work the photoelectric effect is explored through simulations of the phase shift that an IR-field can induce into an electron wave packet and the photoelectron distribution over frequency components that is produced in the photoionization of an atom with a attosecond pulses made of XUV photons. The IR-field is sent along two attosecond pulses made of XUV photons towards a 3D momentum spect

Extracellulära vesiklar (EVs) är en typ av vesiklar som finns i olika typer och storlekar som utsöndras från en cell. En vesikel består av en omslutning där det yttersta lagret utgörs av ett dubbellager av lipider. Storleken varierar mellan 20-5000 nm i diameter, och en funktion som vesiklar har är att möjliggöra kommunikation mellan olika celler. Vesikeln bär då på information såsom DNA, RNA, amiThe purpose of this thesis was to investigate how extracellular vesicles extracted from cows milk interacts with the surfaces hydrophilic surface, DOPC bilayer surface, 95% DOPC and 5% DOTAP mixture bilayer surface and 1:1 ratio of DOPC and DOTAP mixture bilayer surface, and colloidally characterize EVs by determining the hydrodynamic radius and zeta potential.
