  1. 1. Behavioural response in pigs at gas stunning in foam

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Madeleine Persson; [2024]
    Keywords : stunning methods; slaughter; animal welfare; carbon dioxide; high-expansion foam; nitrogen; argon;

    Abstract : There are several stunning methods used for the commercial slaughter of pigs. The two most common are electric stunning and stunning with carbon dioxide gas. It has been shown that there are several problems related to animal welfare in the stunning methods used today in commercial slaughter. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Role of Uni- and Multivariate Bias Adjustment Methods for Future Hydrological Projections and Subsequent Decision-Making

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Anna Merle Liebenehm-Axmann; [2024]
    Keywords : Bias adjustment methods; future hydrological climate projections; statistical analysis; future streamflow analysis; biasjusteringsmetoder; framtida hydrologiska projektioner; statistisk analys; framtida vattenförings analys;

    Abstract : Climate models are essential for generating future climate projections. However, due to simplifications, the models can produce systematic differences between output and reality, which is referred to as model bias. Bias adjustment methods aim to reduce this error, which is important for making future projections more reliable. READ MORE
