  1. 1. Effect of a plant-derived nutraceutical on the tolerance of axenically-cultured Artemia towards abiotic or biotic stressor

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Ahumuza Allan Castro; [2023]
    Keywords : Artemia; Hsp70; Vibrio campbellii; plant extract; aquaculture; abiotic stressor;

    Abstract : Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food-production industries worldwide accounting for almost half of fish used for human consumption. Super-intensive, intensive, and semi-intensive farming practices used to produce large farm fish are increasing the frequency of disease outbreaks which is a major problem affecting sustainable aquaculture growth.

  3. 2. Thermal tolerance of native vs. invasive marine species at the Northern coast of Portugal

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofie Michelsen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversity; Climate change; Marine ecosystems; Marine heat waves; Intertidal environment; Invasive species; Macroalgae; Mussels; Sustainable Development; Thermal tolerance;

    Abstract : Two prominent factors posing a major threat to biodiversity in marine ecosystems are climate change and the establishment of invasive species, and the interaction between these two. Because of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water, the coast of Portugal is a thermal refuge and distribution edge for cold-adapted species, making it a particularly important study area from a biodiversity point of view.

  4. 3. Drought tolerance phenotyping using thermal imaging : high throughput phenotyping of Pinus sylvestris

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Edvin Bertilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Scots pine; Pinus sylvestris; drought tolerance; thermal imaging; high throughput phenotyping;

    Abstract : Climate change is an emerging problem in the world. One of the many challenges that comes with it is an increase of droughts. Droughts cause stress for plants, which impact the growth. READ MORE

  5. 4. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

  6. 5. Optimal dead space in axial-type expander

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Martin Karman; [2022]
    Keywords : Dead space; Expander; Steam engine; Tolerance analysis; Axial-kolvmotor; Effektivitet; Expansionskammare; Kolv; Ångmotor;

    Abstract : In this thesis a method for determining optimal dead space in an axial-type expander is developed. The axial-type expander in question is for use in a steam engine, a environmental friendly and fuel-agnostic alternative to the ICE-engine. READ MORE
