  1. 11. Size effect in wood : Characterization of mechanical properties using digital image correlation method

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Amir Saeidi; Olafur Johannsson; [2023]
    Keywords : compression test longitudinal direction; digital image corre- lation DIC ; ncorr; phyton; pinewood; size effect; stiffness matrix; wood- construction; YAWCAM; young’s modulus; digital image correlation DIC ; elasticitetsmodul; furu; kom- pressionstest längs fiberriktning; ncorr; phyton; storlekseffekt; styvhetsma- tris; trä-konstruktion; YAWCAM;

    Abstract : As a natural composite material, wood exhibits complex structural char-acteristics and diverse behavior under compression and tensile forces. Itsanisotropic nature results in mechanical properties that vary depending onthe load direction along its longitudinal, tangential, and radial grains. READ MORE

  3. 12. INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF PROMOAT BETAGLUCAN ON IMPROVING AND MAINTAINING THE DESIRED STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SPONGE CAKES OVER TWO WEEKS OF STORAGE.

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

    Author : Nienke van Mieghem; [2023]
    Keywords : Beta-glucan; Texture profile analysis; structural changes; Sponge cakes; Food technology and nutrition; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This project investigated the impact of beta-glucan on sponge cake's desired texture and physical properties. Sponge cakes with different percentages of Lantmännens PromOat beta-glucan (0.0%, 1.0% and 2. READ MORE

  4. 13. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

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

    Author : Disa Barkefors; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. READ MORE

  5. 14. Exploring the impact of Formica exsecta ants on soil properties above the tree line in northern Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Filip Pekkari Juto; [2023]
    Keywords : Formica exsecta; ant mounds; soil properties; organic matter content; tundra;

    Abstract : Ants are considered ecosystem engineers due to their effect on the soil properties and their ability to alter the flow of energy and nutrients. Many studies have focused on ants in boreal forests,but few have focused on the ant’s effect on the tundra. READ MORE

  6. 15. LoRa Based Moisture Sensing System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Rasha Badran; [2023]
    Keywords : LoRa; moisture sensor; capacitive sensor;

    Abstract : Water is an important parameter for crop growth, and the information about the moisture content in soil at different depths is very useful for farmers to determine the best time to water the soil and to irrigate farmland so as to maximize their yield. This thesis project aims to develop a prototype of a multi-depth moisture sensor probe that is part of a large sensing system used in agriculture. READ MORE
