  3. 2. Transformation of lignin into biobased thermoset

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Linnea Cederholm; [2018]
    Keywords : lignin; microwave heating; solvolysis; biobased thermoset; lignin; mikrovågsbaserad teknik; solvolys; biobaserad härdplast;

    Abstract : Combined microwave assisted extraction/degradation of technical lignin in green solvents was successfully employed to generate polyphenolic oligomers with lower Mw than the starting material. For Lignoboost, the highest liquid yield (65 %) was obtained in 20 min at 160 °C using ethanol as solvent. READ MORE

  5. 4. Olfactory discrimination performance and longterm odor memory in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Alisa Rizvanovic; [2012]
    Keywords : Asian elephant; Elephas maximus; Behavioral testing; Olfactory discrimination; Olfactory memory;

    Abstract : Behavioral evidence suggests that Asian elephants strongly rely on their sense of smell in a variety of contexts including foraging and social communication. Using a food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were tested on their olfactory discrimination ability with 1-aliphatic alcohols, n-aldehydes, 2-ketones, n-carboxylic acids and with a set of twelve enantiomeric odor pairs.

  6. 5. Development and application of an olfactory discrimination paradigm for Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Josefin Arvidsson; [2011]
    Keywords : Asian elephant; Behavioral testing; Elephas maximus; Odor learning; Olfactory discrimination; Olfactory memory;

    Abstract : The sense of smell plays an important role in regulating the behavior of Asian elephants but until now, no behavioral test to systematically assess the olfactory capabilities of this species existed. Using a voluntary, food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were successfully taught to discriminate between rewarded and unrewarded odors and also succeeded in intramodal stimulus transfer tasks in which either the rewarded odor, or the unrewarded odor, or both odors were exchanged simultaneously for new odors.
