1. 1. Hunting the hunters - Evaluating a new method of Geographic Profiling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Max Pröckl; [2024]
   Keywords : rgeoprofile; crimestat; journey-to-crime; geographic profiling; qgis; geographical profiling; Örebromannen; Kim Rossmo; David Canter; Ned Levine.; Law and Political Science;

   Abstract : Geographic Profiling (GP) may be used when searching for an unknown offender by applying mathematical algorithms to geographical information. This thesis aimed to contribute to improvement of the efficiacy of GP’s produced by law enforcement by evaluating a the new Spaulding/Morris Centrographic (SMC)-method of GP that claims to counteract two of the main difficulties when constructing a GP in a real world investigation: 1.

3. 2. What limits the luminosity of red supergiants?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Eric Svensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Stellar evolution; Red supergiants; Red giants; Luminosity; Binary stars; Binary star systems; Binary star interactions; Binary stellar evolution; Humphreys-Davidson limit; Upper luminosity limit; BSE; Population synthesis; Simulations; M31; LMC; SMC; Metallicity; Mass transfer; Merging; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The observed upper limit of the luminosity of red supergiants, often called the Humphreys-Davidson limit, has recently been shown to be independent of metallicity and to not be explainable by single star evolution – findings that both contradict established ideas of the origins of the limit. It is now known that the vast majority of stars with sufficient mass to possibly evolve into red supergiants above the limit interact with companion stars at some point during their lives. READ MORE

4. 3. Microbial strains from compost originated from circulated side streams : impact on root growth and root hairs

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Benjamin Pettersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Spent Mushroom Compost; Circulated side streams; Botrytis cinerea; Circular Bioeconomy; Soil health;

   Abstract : Spent mushroom compost, apple waste and other organic waste materials are of great potential to improve soil health, water holding capacity and to supress plant pathogens. Today compost is used in apple orchards as an additional fertilizer or soil amendment. READ MORE

5. 4. Characterization of Compost from Reusable Industrial Streams: : physical, Nutrient, and Microbial Properties

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Ellen Ek Moreau; [2023]
   Keywords : Spent mushroom compost; apple orchard waste; soil amendment; compost optimization; circular agriculture;

   Abstract : The increasing global population, combined with soil degradation, poses challenges to food security, and raises concerns about the excessive and long-term use of conventional fertilizers. Evaluating sustainable alternative by-products for their soil-improving properties could offer a potential solution, particularly for Swedish fruit producers who can tap into local waste streams as a circular source of plant nutrients.

6. 5. Quality of Spent Mushroom Compost Amended with Organic Material- Effect on Nutrient Content and Plant Growth

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Rasha Kamel; [2023]
   Keywords : Apple Waste; Wood Chips; Microbial Content; pH; Pseudomonas; General Bacterial Flora; General Fungal Flora; Electrical Conductivity; Nutrient Content; Bulk Density; Porosity; Water Holding Capacity;

   Abstract : Peat, as a non-renewable growing media, poses environmental concerns due to extraction and decomposition processes, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatives growing media with potential to replace or reduce the use of peat are of great need. READ MORE
