  1. 1. Friend or foam? Improved methods for stunning of pigs with foam : effects of repetition and scent on pig reaction to foam

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Miranda Blad; [2022]
    Keywords : pig; behaviour; stunning; foam; smell; scent; fear assessment; animal welfare;

    Abstract : There are several methods available for stunning of pigs before slaughter, but the most frequently used at larger abattoirs are electricity and CO2. There are advantages and disadvantages with both methods. As there is no method that does not have major animal welfare drawbacks. READ MORE

  2. 2. Towards a Data-Driven Approach to Ground-Fault Location in Distribution Power System using Artificial Neural Network

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Antoine Dupuis; [2021]
    Keywords : Ground-Fault Location; Distribution power System; Artificial Neural Network; Machine Learning; Distributed Generation; Wavelet Transform;

    Abstract : Motivated by the need for less polluting energy production, the recent increase in renewable electricity production is reshaping classical power systems. Initially unidirectional and constant power flow becomes multi-directional and dynamic. As one of the many consequences, classical power system fault location methods might become outdated.

  3. 3. The effectivity of vacuum impregnation with glycerol and secondary metabolites on electroporated arugula leaves to improve freezing stability.

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

    Author : Oscar de Kuijer; [2021]
    Keywords : Pulsed electric field PEF; Arugula; Electroporation; Secondary metabolites; Glycerol; Food engineering; Livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Freeze damage is a common issue in many food items. The cellular dehydration caused by freezing can be prevented through addition of a cryoprotectant. Research has shown that it is possible to improve the freezing tolerance of plant materials by addition of cryoprotectants, which forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. READ MORE

  4. 4. One Square Meter Yield: A Hydroponic System Design

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hithaishi Dayananda; [2021]
    Keywords : Hydroponics; Urban Food Resilience; Modular Design; Sustainability;

    Abstract : Vertical hydroponic farming is a developing sector that has the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of conventional farming while also meeting the demands of rapidly urbanizing populations. The global food system is responsible for up to 30% of anthropogenic GHG emissions, with primary production accounting for the majority of these emissions. READ MORE

  5. 5. Determining and analysing production losses due to ice on wind turbines using SCADA data

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Oscar Felding; [2021]
    Keywords : Wind turbines; ice accretion; ice losses; SCADA; cold climate; Vindturbin; ispåbyggnad; isförluster; SCADA-data; kallt klimat;

    Abstract : Wind turbines are becoming a more common sight and a more important part in the power grid. The benefits are mainly that wind energy is a renewable energy source and a single wind turbine can produce enough electricity to cover several households’ annual electricity need and not producing carbon dioxide as a rest product.
