  1. 1. Microgrid in George Washington, Cuba

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Mimmi Fröjdh; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Cuba; microgrid; energy systems modelling; renewable energy; optimization; Kuba; microgrid; energisystemmodellering; förnybar energi; optimering;

    Abstract : Cuba has vast natural resources for domestic renewable energy generation, but their energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels. This contributes to a high dependence on expensive oil imports and has led to significant generation shortfalls, which in turn has resulted in extensive power outages and serious fuel crises.

  3. 2. New Concept Development of a Blood Glucose-Balancing Functional Beverage

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

    Author : Fiona Ernesta; [2021]
    Keywords : nordic berries; blood-glucose; functional beverage; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) have known to be one of the most common degenerative diseases which highly correlate with lifestyle, including consumption habits. It cannot be denied that the availability and accessibility to high processed food, high in carbohydrates play an important role on increasing the risk of T2DM. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluating Sugar Signaling during Xylose Oxidation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Viktor Persson; [2020]
    Keywords : Saccharomyces cerevisiae; yeast; xylose oxidation; sugar signaling; biosensor; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The sugar signaling state of cells oxidizing xylose was investigated through the chromosomal integration of the Weimberg pathway into previously established biosensor strains capable of monitoring the Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1p, and cAMP/PKA pathways through the expression of HXT1, SUC2, and TPS1, respectively. Ultimately, two new strains were successfully developed containing both the Weimberg pathway and a biosensor for either HXT1 (TMB CB 112) or TPS1 (TMB CB 117). READ MORE

  5. 4. Downscaling and modelling of an ion-exchange chromatography column for purifying glucose solutions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Viktor Geraldsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Ion-exchange; chromatography; glucose; purification; modelling; equilibrium isotherm; Matlab; chemical engineering; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : To utilize sugars as a feedstock for renewable industries, the feedstock often needs to be very pure. This is due to ionic species contaminating the sugar feedstock being potent catalyst poisons in many cases. To remove ionic species from the sugar feedstock, it is dissolved and purified using packed ion-exchange columns. READ MORE

  6. 5. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to regulate enzyme expression levels in the Weimberg pathway for optimal xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Anna Heiling; [2020]
    Keywords : Yeast; Weimberg pathway; xylose consumption; Applied Microbiology; Teknisk mikrobiologi; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used industrial organism which cannot consume xylose naturally. This is a problem since xylose is a major component in renewable resources, for instance lignocellulose. The Weimberg pathway is a pathway that converts xylose into α-ketoglutarate. It has been successfully integrated into S. READ MORE
