  1. 1. Fouling modelling in a UHT unit based on plant data.

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

    Author : Thai Lam; [2023]
    Keywords : UHT; dairy; tubular heat exchanger; fouling development; fouling removal; food engineering; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Heat treatment of dairy products is essential for food safety, one way to perform this is ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. During the process, macronutrients and minerals form fouling deposits which impairs heat transfer. Eventually the fouling needs to be removed chemically by alkaline and acidic detergents. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling organic farming systems : is livestock needed for a functioning nitrogen cycle and food production?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Franziska Johanna Galler; [2023]
    Keywords : organic farming; livestock; stockless farming; nitrogen cycle; nitrogen use efficiency; nitrogen recycling; nutritional value; human nutrition; food system;

    Abstract : Livestock has always been an integral part of nutrient management on organic farms. Environmental, economic and idieological trends are leading to an increasing specialization of agriculture away from mixed farms with livestock. READ MORE

  4. 3. Predicting Treatment Performance Using Ternary Plot : Macronutrients’ impact on biomass conversion efficiency

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Madeleine Gobl; [2022]
    Keywords : Black soldier fly; organic waste treatment; biomass conversion efficiency; treatment performance; macronutrients; ternary plot; organic waste; amerikansk vapensflugan; triangulär diagram; organiskt avfallsbehandling; organiskt avfall; behandlingseffektivitet; biomassomvandlings-effektivitet; makronäringsämnen;

    Abstract : Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) waste treatment is becoming a more sought-after organic waste treatment since it produces larvae for animal feed as well as fertilizer, the need for prediction and optimization of treatment performance increases. This study aims to predict biomass conversion efficiency (BCE) for waste going into treatment, using only the nutritional data from other studies as it could give a good performance estimation while using available data.

  5. 4. Energy-Efficient Private Forecasting on Health Data using SNNs

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

    Author : Davide Di Matteo; [2022]
    Keywords : Spiking neural networks; differential privacy; synthetic data generation; smart health care; fitness trackers.; Spikande neurala nätverk; differentiell integritet; syntetisk datagenerering; smart hälsovård; träningsspårare.;

    Abstract : Health monitoring devices, such as Fitbit, are gaining popularity both as wellness tools and as a source of information for healthcare decisions. Predicting such wellness goals accurately is critical for the users to make informed lifestyle choices. READ MORE

  6. 5. Anaerobic Co-digestion of steam pretreated wheat straw and sewage sludge

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

    Author : Virginia Tosi; [2021]
    Keywords : Anaerobic co-digestion; wheat straw pretreatment; nutrients availability; OLR; VFA acumulation; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastes and residues is a widely applied and explored process. However, when the process is not optimized, inadequate concentrations of nutrients and inhibitory compounds are common and can lead to low maximum organic loading rates and increased risk of process problems, low organic dry solids degradation rate and reduced methane yields.
