  1. 1. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  3. 2. Analogue Circuit for Detection of Ageing Phenomena in Electric Drives

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Yudong Lin; [2023]
    Keywords : Electric Drives; Ageing Process; Pulse-Width Modulation; Ringing Current; Peak Holder; Analogue Circuits; Elektriska drivsystem; Åldringsprocess; Pulsbreddsmodulering; Ringningar i strömmen; Toppvärdesdetektor; Analog krets;

    Abstract : This master thesis presents an analogue peak holder circuit design aimed at facilitating the non-invasive inspection of the ageing process in electric drives. The ageing process of electric drives is a crucial aspect that demands accurate monitoring to ensure their long-term performance and reliability. READ MORE

  4. 3. Relations between tree and habitat characteristics and the epiphytic lichen flora on oak : a case study from Lövön, Bohuslän

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Julia Siegel; [2023]
    Keywords : Epiphytic lichens; Tree characteristics; Habitat characteristics; Oak; Biodiversity; Natural values; Light availability;

    Abstract : Oak-rich forests and wooded pastures harbor diverse and distinct epiphytic lichen flora with many rare and threatened species. As these habitats have been subject to a substantial decline and degradation over the past centuries, oak woodlands have progressively come into focus for preservation. READ MORE
