  1. 1. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  3. 2. CPU vs GPU performance when solving the flexible job-shop problem using genetic algorithms

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

    Author : Love Göransson; Marcus Nilszén; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a comparison is made between the performance of genetic algorithms executed on the CPU and the GPU for solving the Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP). The purpose is to determine whether one processing unit offers better performance than the other. READ MORE

  4. 3. Avelsarbetet med svenska varmblodshästar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Alba Bengtsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Svenskt varmblod; avelsarbete; avelsprogram;

    Abstract : Det svenska varmblodet (SWB) är ett av världens äldsta varmblod med rötter i en äldre kavallerihäst. Idag är avelsmålet för SWB-hästen inte längre att bistå Sverige i krig utan att vara en internationellt konkurrenskraftig tävlingsindivid i hoppning, dressyr eller fälttävlan. READ MORE

  5. 4. Geobacillus 7349 – A new potential biosurfactant producing microorganism

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Zhuoying Deng; [2023]
    Keywords : biosurfactant; rhamnolipids; HPLC; HPAEC-PAD; bacteria growth; downstream purification; liquid-liquid extraction; biotechnology; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The main aim of this master project is to find out whether strain Geobacillus 7349 can produce biosurfactant during their growth by extraction and characterization of the product. The other goal is to optimize the cultivation condition of the strain. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Evaluation of GeneticAlgorithm Approaches for theUnit Commitment Problem inPower Generation Scheduling

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Nandini Mattathil Suresh; [2023]
    Keywords : Unit Commitment Problem; Genetic Algorithm; Meta-heuristics; Economic Dispatch; Constrained Optimization; Encoding; Crossover; Mutation; Selection;

    Abstract : The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) poses a significant challenge in optimizing powergeneration schedules within complex and dynamic energy systems. This study explores theapplication of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) as a promising approach to address UCP, their ability tonavigate complex solution spaces and adapt to changing operational conditions.
