  1. 11. Development of Spring Wire Feeder : Design for Spring Manufacturing with Coarse Spring Wire

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Martin Similä; [2021]
    Keywords : product development; product development process; Rejlers; produktutveckling; produktutvecklingsprocess; Rejlers;

    Abstract : Lesjöfors Fjädrar AB is a spring manufacturing company. At the start of each manufacturing process when manufacturing cold coiled compression springs, the operators manually feed the spring wire from a reel that contains the raw spring wire, into the machine where the springs are made. This is a demanding process for the operators. READ MORE

  3. 12. The hot and cold cow : a stochastic production frontier analysis of the effect of temperature and income diversification in Swedish dairy farms.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Sanae Sone Dy; [2021]
    Keywords : dairy farms; income diversification; diversification; Simpson’s index; temperature;

    Abstract : This thesis examines if Swedish dairy farms between 2005-2016, that diversify into unconventional income opportunities, can cushion a possible negative effect from increase in the mean temperature in Sweden. Dairy cows are sensitive to increases in temperature and could suffer from both heat and cold stress. READ MORE

  4. 13. Thermo-effector responses to a 5-day high-intensity cold-acclimation procedure

    University essay from KTH/Omgivningsfysiologi

    Author : Frederick Wilkins; [2020]
    Keywords : Hypothermia Acclimation procedure thermo effector response;

    Abstract : Long-term, repeated exposures to cold might lead to cold adaptation. The study examined, in a small homogeneous group of non-acclimatised men, the inter-individual response to a short-term, high-intensity cold acclimation regimen. READ MORE

  5. 14. Effects of cold treatment on Arabidopsis thaliana : a study in the change of gene expression levels in some selected COR-genes and composition of important cell membrane lipids of A. thaliana

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

    Author : Artur Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; cold stress; membrane lipids; gene expression; quantification; PCR; extraction;

    Abstract : The effect of cold stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, mouse cress, was examined. The object was to investigate how gene expression and membrane lipid configuration was affected in seedlings when being treated with low temperature. READ MORE

  6. 15. Effects of repeated whole-body cold stress on finger temperature responses to localized cooling

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Pit Gäng; [2020]
    Keywords : CIVD; whole-body cold acclimation; cutaneous blood flow; immersion; thermal perception;

    Abstract : The study aimed to assess whether a short-term, high-intensity cold acclimation protocol would modulate finger vasomotor [i.e., finger temperature (TF), cold induced vasodilation (CIVD)] responses and regional thermo-perception to localized cooling. READ MORE
