  1. 1. Diving Deep: Seabird foraging tactics and local prey field

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Elin Andersson Sjöholm; [2024]
    Keywords : Common Guillemot; Uria aalge; Optimal Foraging theory; Hydroacoustic data; resource selection;

    Abstract : Foragers in patchy environments need to decide what patches to use and how to allocate their time between them. Optimal foraging theory describes these choices through the relationship between energy expenditure and energy gain. READ MORE

  2. 2. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  3. 3. Sudetisk lärk – ett alternativ för sydsvenska skogar?

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Ella Bjelkered; [2024]
    Keywords : Lärk; förädling; Larix; klimatförändringar; skogsbruk;

    Abstract : Den svenska skogsbranschen möter betydande utmaningar med de globala klimatförändringarna som hotar framtida råvaruförsörjning. Högst troligtvis bidrar klimatförändringar till ökade stormar och en övergång till varmare och torrare förhållanden. READ MORE

  4. 4. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  5. 5. Investigating the dynamics between the developing Nordic hydrogen market and the electricity system under uncertainty

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Timon Renzelmann; [2024]
    Keywords : energy modelling; energy storage; global sensitivity analysis; hydrogen; Method of Morris; Nordics; OSeMOSYS; uncertainty analysis; energimodellering; energilagring; global känslighetsanalys; vätgas; Morris-metoden; Nordiska länder; OSeMOSYS; osäkerhetsanalys;

    Abstract : The potential of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier is hotly debated, but it promises to significantly contribute to a sustainable energy future. Hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in carbon-intensive industries, heavy transport and aviation, and support a renewable energysystem by acting as energy storage to balance intermittent supply.
