  1. 1. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

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

    Author : Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
    Keywords : algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tribological characterization of a ball bearing subjected to an electric field : Electric drivetrain tribology

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

    Author : Muhammad Umar Farooq; [2023]
    Keywords : Ball bearing; electric drivetrain; tribology; electric field; characterization; bearing currents; discharge;

    Abstract : Electric machines are widely used in for instance the automotive industry in electric vehicles and in wind turbines. The electrical machines have mechanical bearings as an integral part used to transmit power and load. In addition, the main function includes reducing friction between interacting surfaces.

  4. 3. The effect of a daily sedation interruption on the intensive care unit

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Tara Hjerpe; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Daily sedation interruptions (DSI) are performed within intensive care units worldwide and are thought to reduce delirium and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation. However, there is conflicting evidence to suggest otherwise. READ MORE

  5. 4. Influence from temperature variations in stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of stainless steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Hallén; Marcus Johansson Storne; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of austenitic stainless steels and how they relate to the material property of stacking fault energy (SFE) and its relation to temperature and nickel content. Austenitic stainless steels are commonly used and well known for good mechanical properties and deformation characteristics. READ MORE

  6. 5. Methods to study device induced aggregation of proteins

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

    Author : Marie Therese von Wowern; [2023]
    Keywords : protein formulation; protein aggregation; insulin; silicone oil; syringe; shear stress; subvisible particle; size exclusion chromatography; flow imaging microscopy; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This work developed a method for the investigation of how medical devices, such as syringes and needles, affect the formation of subvisible particles in a protein drug without excipients. Protein-based pharmaceuticals are well known to be sensitive to different kinds of stress, and exposure to stress during the use of this device is unavoidable. READ MORE
