  1. 1. Characterization of coated soot particles - Validating a new APM software and using it to design aerosol measurement set-ups

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Jakob Petersson; [2016]
    Keywords : Soot; structure; coating; APM; aerosol; Dioctyl Sebacate; Succinic Acid; miniCast; Impinger; electric mobility; effective density.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Soot characteristics such as absorbing light are heavily dependent on its structure and interaction with other compounds. By coating soot or collapsing the soot core, the characteristics will be altered which affects its climate forcing, the lung deposition and other interactions with the human upper airways. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effect of domestication on insect resistance in cotton : bioassays with the insect herbivores Spodoptera littoralis and Agriotes spp.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Joakim Sjöstrand; [2014]
    Keywords : Spodoptera littoralis; Agriotes lineatus; insect resistance; cotton; gossypium;

    Abstract : A plant's defensive ability against herbivore attack can be influenced by many different factors, one of them being domestication. During human selection to improve the yield of plants, the resistance against herbivore attack can have been lowered, due to a trade-off for use of resources between these traits in the plants.
