1. 1. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

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

   Author : Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
   Keywords : algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. READ MORE

3. 2. Fast deep discharging using a controllable load as pretreatment for EV battery recycling : A study on efficacy, speed, and safety

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

   Author : Lucas Van Genechten; [2023]
   Keywords : Recycling; lithium-ion battery; deep discharging; external short-circuit; internal pressure; thermal stability; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; Återvinning; litiumjonbatteri; djupurladdning; extern kortslutning; internt tryck; termisk stabilitet; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy;

   Abstract : In response to the present and projected growth of the EV industry, the development of a large-scale, reliable and efficient lithium-ion battery recycling sector is vital to ensure circularity of the embedded valuable metals and ensure overall sustainability of the technology. One of the main recycling procedures under development is based on hydrometallurgy. READ MORE

4. 3. Flow batteries - Impact on fire safety

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Ajay Menon; [2022]
   Keywords : Flow battery; Flow battery types; Flow battery risks; Firefighting; Fire risk analysis; Safety hazards in flow batteries; Fire risks in lithium-ion battery; Safety hazard in lithium-ion battery; Application of battery storage systems; Safety reports.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The need for sustainable renewable energy has been increasing due to the negative impact of non-renewable energy sources. With the unstable and sporadic nature of sustainable renewable energy, flow batteries show immense potential in mitigating these issues. READ MORE

5. 4. Frost hardiness of grapevine cultivars as affected by ground cover under Scandinavian conditions

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Magdalena Jansson; [2013]
   Keywords : frost hardiness; grapevine; ground cover; Scandinavia;

   Abstract : Cultivation of grapevine is novel under Scandinavian conditions. We studied the impact of ground cover on frost hardiness of grapevine cultivars in Northwestern Scania in a two-factorial trial with four cultivars Solaris, Pinot Gris, Siegerrebe, Ortega and three kinds of ground cover (open soil, plastic cover and gravel).

6. 5. Frost hardiness of some New Zealand shrubs

   University essay from SLU/Horticulture

   Author : Sture Bengtsson; [2007]
   Keywords : frost; frost hardiness; frost resistance; freezing tolerance; freezing resistance; winter hardiness; cold hardiness; freeze test; frost injury; frost injury assessment; cold acclimation; new zealand shrubs; new zealand flora; plant stress physiology; electrolyte leakage; index of injury; LT50; visual injury assessment; olearia; coprosma; podocarpus; buxus; taxus;

   Abstract : Frost resistances, LT50, were decided for stems and leaves of several New Zealand woody plants belonging to Olearia (Asteraceae), Coprosma (Rubiaceae) and Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae). That was part of the aims, which included trying to find species potentially winter hardy in southern coastal Sweden and study methods for frost hardiness assessment. READ MORE
