  1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

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

    Author : Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

    Abstract : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. READ MORE

  3. 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.

  4. 3. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

  5. 4. Substation Digitalization for Medium Voltage Urban Distribution Networks : A Techno-Economic Analysis

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

    Author : Diego Molina Mendizábal; [2023]
    Keywords : Continuity of supply; incentive scheme; SAIDI; techno-economic analysis; Kontinuitet i försörjningen; incitamentsprogram; SAIDI; teknisk-ekonomisk analys;

    Abstract : High and medium-voltage digital substations play an essential role in the energy transition since they are part of the equipment required to deploy smart grids. With the gradual increase of smart grids, energy systems are becoming more flexible with the growing penetration of renewable energies and distributed energy generation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Extending Wireless Power Transfer Range for Self-Powered Micro Devices with mm-size Antenna

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Elektroniska Kretsar och System

    Author : Natachai Terawatsakul; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The primary challenge in expanding the wireless power transfer range for miniaturized self-powered micro devices is the limited RF energy harvesting due to the small effective area and low gain of the mm-sized antennas used in these devices. This thesis introduces a method for extending the distance between an external energy source antenna (TX) and a micro-device antenna (RX) to more than 10 cm. READ MORE
