  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Keywords : crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Abstract : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. READ MORE

  2. 2. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

  3. 3. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

  4. 4. Performance evaluation of domestic solar power installations in Sweden

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

    Author : Felix Monthan; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the past two decades the global electricity demand all over the world has increased by 82%, thisis a result of improved living standards, growing populations, electrification of vehicles and growing demand for digital devices. In Sweden, electricity generation from solar power is relatively small and equates to about 0. READ MORE

  5. 5. Redox Materials in Hydrogen Production : Investigation of state-of-the-art redox materials in thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production via solar energy

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

    Author : Saga Berneryd; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This bachelor thesis work has investigated different redox materials in 2-step thermochemical water splitting processes for solar-driven hydrogen production. Materials have been mapped out by their results from experimental activity and by the conditions the tests were conducted in. READ MORE
