1. 1. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake

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

   Author : Sergio de La Cruz Padilla; [2023]
   Keywords : By-product; Rapeseed press cake; protein; Food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. READ MORE

3. 2. Aluminum levels in the O-horizon of soils near Sundsvall, Sweden : Are levels of Al elevated due to smelter emission?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Mattias Sundin; [2023]
   Keywords : Aluminium; Smelter emissions; O-horizon; Al concentration; Scots’ pine needles;

   Abstract : Aluminum (Al) is a potentially toxic element for humans, animals, and plants. Al emitted from smelter plants is one source of Al that may be responsible for increased exposure to humans and the environment. READ MORE

4. 3. Accumulation of 63Ni, 106Ru and 125Sb in phytoplankton

   University essay from

   Author : Yusuf Ali; [2022-08-22]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Environmental radiology; Nuclear Power Plants; concentration factor CF ; phytoplankton; phaeodactylum tricornutum; radioactive releases; nickel; ruthenium; antimony; gamma spectroscopy; liquid scintillation counting;

   Abstract : Background: Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) release small amounts of radionuclides which contribute with a low radiation dose to the environment as well as humans and animals. In this context, marine ecosystems are critical, since most NPPs in Sweden are located by the sea. READ MORE

5. 4. Toxicological analysis of Pyraclostrobin and Cyprodinilon Zebrafish larvae

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Kim Yeju; [2022]
   Keywords : gene expression; mixture effect; toxicity; pesticides; stress response;

   Abstract : Cyprodinil and pyraclostrobin are widely used pesticides to protect many plants from attack of microorganisms and fungal diseases. Although cyprodinil and pyraclostrobin exist in the aquatic environment at low concentration, their leftovers in the ecosystems lead to oxidative damage and interfere development in aquatic animals at environmental-relevant concentration.

6. 5. Countergradient variation and compensatory growth in Moor frog (Rana arvalis) along a replicated latitudinal gradient

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Sohini Mallick; [2022]
   Keywords : moor frog; countergradient variation; compensatory growth; latitudinal gradient;

   Abstract : For evolution to occur over time, it is necessary for animals and plants to show phenotypic variation. If the individuals within populations of a species do not show observable differences among themselves, there will be a lack of driving force for natural selection to act on and decide which characteristic gets inherited from one generation to the next.
