  1. 16. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Sergio de La Cruz Padilla; [2023]
    Keywords : By-product; Rapeseed press cake; protein; Food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. READ MORE

  3. 17. Companion crops in winter oilseed rape : effects on nitrogen concentration, biomass, and prevalence of weeds at the end of autumn growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Stina Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : biomass; companion crops; intercropping; legumes; nitrogen concentration; organic cultivation; weeds; winter oilseed rape;

    Abstract : Intercropping can be used as a management system to promote higher yield as well as less weeds,diseases, and insect damage. Legumes are a commonly used companion crop (CC) in intercropping due to the benefit of nitrogen (N) fixation. READ MORE

  4. 18. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  5. 19. Tracking Optimization in Agrivoltaic Systems : A Comparative Study for Apple Orchards

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

    Author : Maddalena Bruno; [2023]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Optimization; Light sharing; Apple Orchards; Lantbruk; Optimering; Ljusdelning; Äppelodlingar;

    Abstract : Agrivoltaic (APV) systems, based on the co-location of solar panels and crops, are an innovative solution to land-use conflicts that often arise between agriculture and energy production. Their optimal functioning starts with efficient management and sharing of light between solar panels and underlying plants. READ MORE

  6. 20. Weather you like it or not : pre-season yield forecasting of malting barley with climate markers.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elsa Rozenbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : Yield forecasting; extreme weather; pre-season forecasting; climate markers; climate predictors; climate patterns; model calibration; DSSAT; crop model;

    Abstract : Different means of yield forecasting have been investigated in many publications, although very few with a focus on pre-season forecasting. Climate change and the increasing risk of extreme weather events is a threat to food production, and early yield predictions could therefore be beneficial for farmer’s planning and management as a way towards more resilient food production.
