1. 16. Swedish “tofu” from faba beans : a textural and structural analysis

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Saga Preis; [2023]
   Keywords : Tofu; faba bean; Vicia faba; texture; microstructure;

   Abstract : Tofu, a traditional soybean product, is a popular plant-based alternative which could potentially be produced from Swedish-grown faba beans (Vicia faba L.). The aim of this project was to asses the viability of producing a tofu-like faba bean product using food grade gypsum (calcium sulphate) as coagulant. READ MORE

3. 17. Finite Element Simulation of Moisture Transport in Cellulose Insulation Material of Power Transformers

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

   Author : Luc Villibord; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Power Transformers are an important and complex part of the electrical transmission technology. One of the main producers of these transformers worldwide is Hitachi Energy, for which this work has been done. READ MORE

4. 18. Modified cellulose synthesized by different deep eutectic solvents as an additive in paper making process

   University essay from Karlstads universitet

   Author : Shiniar Said Saleh; [2023]
   Keywords : green chemistry; dry strength additives; deep eutectic solvents; sodium periodate oxidation; charge density; dewatering; mechanical strength.;

   Abstract : The environmental concerns that come with the currently used traditional papermaking process where petroleum-based additives are used, has tempted researchers to study “green” additives by introducing environmentally friendly modifications of cellulose as an additive in the papermaking process. This thesis will spin further on that by producing additives with different charge densities and focus on to incorporate an etherification reaction into potentially greens systems based on non-toxic and readily biodegradable deep eutectic solvent (DES).

5. 19. The Effects of Material Properties in Saw Chain Cutting Efficiency Tests : Investigating the repeatability of cutting efficiency tests

   University essay from

   Author : Petter Ödvall; Jakob Ivarsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Alternative Material; Cutting Efficiency; Density; Hardness; Knots; Moisture Content; Pinus Sylvestris; Polyethylene; Regression Model; Saw Chain;

   Abstract : Manufacturers of saw chains continuously strive to increase the performance of their products by reducing cutting times and minimising the energy consumption required for cutting. However, the evaluation process through testing is problematic as several uncontrollable factors impact the results. READ MORE

6. 20. The use of hyperspectral sensors for quality assessment : A quantitative study of moisture content in indoor vertical farming

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Arezo Ahaddi; Zeineb Al-Husseini; [2023]
   Keywords : Hyperspectral Imaging; lettuce; moisture content; NIR; near-infrared spectroscopy; shelf life; quality assessment; vertical farming; MicroNIR;

   Abstract : Purpose: This research will study how hyperspectral sensoring can assess the moisture content of lettuce by monitoring its growth in indoor vertical farming. Research questions: “What accuracy can be achieved when using hyperspectral sensoring for assessing the moisture content of lettuce leaves grown in vertical farming?” “How can vertical farming contribute to sustainability in conjunction with integration of NIR spectroscopy?” Methodology: This study is an experimental study with a deductive approach in which experiments have been performed using the hyperspectral technologies singlespot sensor and the hyperspectral camera Specim FX17 to collect spectral data.
