  1. 1. Modelling the full-scale N2O emissions from wastewater treatment plants for identifying mitigation strategies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Naga Deepika Peddamudium; [2023]
    Keywords : Modelling; simulation; ASM2dISS; N2O production pathways; N2O emission factor; mitigation strategies; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, which primarily originate from the biological nitrogen removal process, dominate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). N2O production occurs through dynamic microbial pathways that have a significant impact on the environment compared with other GHG emissions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Diversification of predators in multi-trophic communities: A trait-based theoretical approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Julio Antonio Ayala Lopez; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Leachate-Based Biotic Ligand Model for Soil : Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment of Copper for Invertebrates, Plants, and Soil Microbial Processes

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tove Florén; [2021]
    Keywords : Tomato shoot; Barley root; Glucose induced respiration; Nitrification; Earthworm; Springtail; EC10; SSD; Regression analysis; pH dependency; Bioavailability;

    Abstract : Environmental pollution of heavy metals has become an increasing problem. Environmental risk assessments can be conducted to investigate and determine the potential risk of polluted terrestrial environments. Traditionally, risk assessments are based on total soil metal concentrations on a dry weight basis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Exploration of an all-atom thermodynamic model to predict site-specific evolutionary rates in proteins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Fábio Dias Correia de Oliveira; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Understanding the patterns of evolutionary sequence divergence is fundamental for comparative analyses like phylogenetics or genomics. The rate at which the different sites of protein sequences evolve is multifactorial and the causes of variation among them are highly convoluted. READ MORE

  6. 5. Importance of bumble bee community evenness for crop pollination : a simulation analysis of Swedish red clover seed production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Vivek Babu; [2018]
    Keywords : bumble bee; Bombus; community; evenness; biodiversity-ecosystem function; diversity-stability; diversity-productivity; overyielding; productivity; stability; biodiversity; selection effect; species asynchrony; portfolio effect;

    Abstract : The red clover seed production systems are dependent on pollinators for increase in red clover seed yield and its stability. When compared to domesticated honey bees, the wild bumble bees are highly efficient in pollinating the red clover crop due to its relatively longer tongue length. Longer dependence on single pollinator species i.e. READ MORE
