1. 1. Pheromone-based mating disruption to control Spodoptera frugiperda in Tanzania: Possibilites and Constraints for smallholders

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Thomas O'Malley; [2024]
   Keywords : pheromone; mating disruption; fall armyworm; Tanzania; smallholder; Spodeptera frugiperda; integrated pest; management;

   Abstract : Despite a growing interest in the use of pheromones as a more sustainable form of pest control, their use remains unstudied in the smallholder context. This paper is one of the first to study their use by small scale Tanzanian maize farmers to control the invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (known as fall armyworm). READ MORE

3. 2. Effect of temperature on early stage adhesion during TiAlN sliding against Inconel 718 and Stainless steel 316L : High temperature tribology

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Ahsan Ali; [2023]
   Keywords : High temperature tribology; Early-stage adhesion; Adhesive wear; Friction; Wear resistant coatings; Physical vapour deposition PVD coatings; TiAlN; Tungsten carbide WC Co ; Difficult to machine super alloys; Inconel 718; Stainless steel 316L; High-performance materials; Abrasion; Oxidation; Chipping; Ploughing; Characterization;

   Abstract : High-performance materials such as stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are widely used in demanding applications where high mechanical and thermal properties are required. The applications of super alloys are mainly found in jet engines, power plants and gas turbines demanding high fatigue strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as wear resistant properties.

4. 3. Sustainability-Linked Bonds - A Case Study of H&M

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

   Author : Waldemar Andersson; Larysa Karsayeva; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainability-linked bond; fast fashion; green financing; transition;

   Abstract : The thesis investigates the sustainability-linked bond issuance by fast fashion company H&M in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study contributes to existing literature by providing observations of real-world practitioners on the cost-benefit considerations of SLB issuance, in particular, challenging the notion of a "free lunch", conversely concluding that the greatest concern is attributed to potential reputational damage in the event of missed targets.

5. 4. Integrated Solar Cooking : Materials and Manufacturing of Conical Solar Cookers

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Kristy San; Ida Lindström; [2023]
   Keywords : Asulma Centre; Conical Solar Cooker; Integrated Solar Cooking; Kenya; Solar Cooking; Asulma centre; konisk solugn; integrerad solmatlagning; Kenya; solmatlagning;

   Abstract : This bachelor thesis is written as a Minor Field Studies (MFS) project and funded by SIDA, Sweden’s International Development Cooperation Agency. The project was made in cooperation with Engineers Without Borders Sweden and the local organization Asulma Centre in Nairobi. READ MORE

6. 5. Analysis of high-voltage low-current DC/DC converters for electrohydrodynamic pumps

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : Sigge Axelsson; Jonas Gartner; Axel Stafström; [2023]
   Keywords : high-voltage; low-current; low-power; DC DC; DC-DC; high-gain; converter; electrohydrodynamic pump; EHD; transformerless converter; Royer-based converter; resonant Royer oscillator; Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier; CWVM; voltage multiplier; series-connected positive-negative voltage multiplier; SPNVM; planar air-core transformer; planar transformer; high-freqency Royer-based converter; overcurrent protection; LT8331; gallium nitride; GaN; planar PCB-integrated transformers;

   Abstract : Moving parts cause vibrations and tend to wear out. In applications where maintenance is complicated, solutions without moving parts are therefore advantageous. Electrohydrodynamic pumps are such a solution. Instead of mechanical propulsion, they use strong electric fields to induce movement in a dielectric cooling liquid. READ MORE
