1. 1. Drought resistance of Ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Suillus genus

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Patricia Salén; [2024]
   Keywords : Ectomycorrhiza; drought; Suillus;

   Abstract : Rising instances of drought are causing more tree seedling fatalities post-nursery outplanting. In the face of climate change, fostering resilient forestry practices is imperative for preserving the health and functionality of our forests. READ MORE

3. 2. Variational AutoEncoders and Differential Privacy : balancing data synthesis and privacy constraints

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Baptiste Bremond; [2024]
   Keywords : TVAE; Differential privacy; Tabular data; Synthetic data; DP-SGD; TVAE; differentiell integritet; tabelldata; syntetiska data; DP-SGD;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the effectiveness of Tabular Variational Auto Encoders (TVAEs) in generating high-quality synthetic tabular data and assesses their compliance with differential privacy principles. The study shows that while TVAEs are better than VAEs at generating synthetic data that faithfully reproduces the distribution of real data as measured by the Synthetic Data Vault (SDV) metrics, the latter does not guarantee that the synthetic data is up to the task in practical industrial applications.

4. 3. Sustainable food packaging based on polyhydroxyalkanoate

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Safana Al-Ashor; [2024]
   Keywords : Biopolymers; Sustainable food packaging; Circular economy; Biobased and biodegradable materials; Food packaging; Processing technologies; Food quality; Shelf-life;

   Abstract : The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a serious threat to the environment, as they are produced from nonrenewable crude oil and cannot decompose naturally. READ MORE

5. 4. Increasing the diodicity of ceramic Tesla valves by exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing : A study in design optimizations of Tesla valves for ceramic 3D printing

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Udit Sharma; [2024]
   Keywords : additive; manufacturing; Tesla; valve; ceramic; 3D; printing;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis was conducted at Uppsala University and at Fraunhofer IKTS, Dresden. The thesis aims to study design optimizations for increasing the diodicity and thereby performance of a Tesla valve, a type of “no moving parts” (NMP) valve, through design freedoms offered by ceramic additive manufacturing.

6. 5. Do viscous flows slip?

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

   Author : Björn Sjösvärd; [2023-12-21]
   Keywords : Mathematics; partial differential equations; multivectors; Hodge de-compositions; the Stokes equation; Hodge boun;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the Stokes equation is discussed and solved under different boundary conditions. The Stokes equation governs the flow of viscous liquids, for example honey or syrup. The first chapters in the thesis provides an introduction to multivector algebra and analysis, with the aim of presenting the concept of Hodge decompositions. READ MORE
