  1. 11. Changed behavior in the house cricket Acheta domesticus : predetermined or an effect of learning?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Caroliné Olofsson; [2019]
    Keywords : personality; crickets; boldness; animal personality; learning;

    Abstract : The interest in animal personality have increased the last couple of decades and several studies have been made trying to explain why these differences in behaviour exist between individuals. Some of these studies have found that an individual’s personality changes as it ages and to explain these, theories focusing on genetic and phenotypic aspects has been used. READ MORE

  3. 12. The impact of feed and diet on crickets’ nutritional value and anatomy

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Gabriella Håkansson; [2018]
    Keywords : cricket; house cricket; Cambodian field cricket; Teleogyrus testaceus; entomophagy; protein quality; computer tomography;

    Abstract : Denna studie utvärderar den kemiska sammansättningen hos kambodjanska syrsor (Teleogyrus testaceus) uppfödda på fyra olika dieter. Syrsor från en tidigare studie (Miech et al., 2016) om tillväxt och överlevnad användes i studien. Aminosyrakomposition, mineralinnehåll, vikt och storlek analyserades. READ MORE

  5. 14. The house cricket Acheta domesticus, a potential source of protein for human consumption

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Lina von Hackewitz; [2018]
    Keywords : house cricket; Acheta domesticus; protein; amino acid; sustainable diet; future food;

    Abstract : population of the world is growing and it is expected that it will reach 9.6 billion people by the year 2050. The demand for animal-derived protein is expected to increase which also increases the land and water usage, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) and therefore leads to environmental stress. READ MORE

  6. 15. Monte Carlo Optimization of Neuromorphic Cricket Auditory Feature Detection Circuits in the Dynap-SE Processor

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Mattias Nilsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Neuromorphic engineering; Spiking neural networks; Pattern recognition; Feature detection; Training protocol; Software tools;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic information processing systems mimic the dynamics of neurons and synapses, and the architecture of biological nervous systems. By using a combination of sub-threshold analog circuits, and fast programmable digital circuits, spiking neural networks with co-localized memory and computation can be implemented, enabling more energy-efficient information processing than conventional von Neumann digital computers.
