  1. 11. Landscape factors related to performance of in-situ sensors for prediction of total phosphorus : a statistical analysis of data from 194 streams in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Cham Hoang; [2017]
    Keywords : surface water monitoring; surrogate parameters; total Phosphorous; turbidity; catchment; land-use; soil type;

    Abstract : Accurate monitoring data of phosphorus concentrations in the water will benefit the evaluation of measures taken to reduce the problems of eutrophication. Today, the quantification of phosphorus loads from diffuse sources involves large uncertainties. READ MORE

  2. 12. Comparison of the performance of silicon and thin film solar cells at the laboratory of the University of Gävle

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

    Author : Cristian Baena Juan; [2016]
    Keywords : solar cell performance; crystalline silicon; thin film CIGS; energy conversion efficiency; performance ratio;

    Abstract : The huge environmental awareness emerging last years by reason of global warming and greenhouse effect, on one hand, and the need of finding other sources of energy production and conversion due to the declining of fossil resources and the increasing cost of this kind of energy resource, on the other hand, both have led position renewable energies as a powerful alternative on the energy production and conversion. PV-systems have emerged at an exponential rate in recent year as the main candidate and a satisfactory possibility with respect to environmental and economic sustainability. READ MORE

  4. 14. Degradation of pesticides by the ligninolytic enzyme Laccase : optimisation of in vitro conditions, immobilisation and screening for natural mediators

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Naomi Farragher; [2013]
    Keywords : White rot fungi; Laccase; Bioprophylaxis; Diffuse sources; Co-formulation; Degradation; Mediators; Pesticides; Glyphosate; AMPA; Isoproturon; Enzyme encapsulation; Enzyme immobilisation; Natural mediators;

    Abstract : Pesticides are widely used in many industries but the majority reaches non-target organisms or locations through point or diffuse sources. Understanding conditions for their degradation is therefore important. The degradation of glyphosate, its metabolite AMPA and isoproturon using the ligninolytic enzyme laccase was studied. READ MORE

  5. 15. Effect of vegetable oil on the degradation of a pesticide mixture in biobeds

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Johanna Moreskog; [2013]
    Keywords : Pesticides; Biobed; Ligninolytic enzymes; Maganese peroxidase;

    Abstract : Pesticides are used to control diseases, undesired vegetation and insects in forestry, gardening and agriculture. In the environment, pesticides are generally believed to originate from a diffuse source, such as spray drift of pesticides during application, or a point source, such as spills during refill and cleaning of spraying equipment.
