1. 1. Beyond the Crisis: A Safe Haven Analysis : Empirical Insights into the Divergence of Gold and Bonds for Portfolio Hedging

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

   Author : Anthony Baugi; Eugene Zhang; [2024]
   Keywords : Gold; Bonds; Safe Haven; Hedging; US Treasury; Volatility; Covid; Portfolio Theory; Asset Dynamics; Fiscal Policy; Monetary Policy; Financial Crisis; Asset Management; Risk Management; Portfolio Risk;

   Abstract : Purpose: This thesis investigates the relationship concerning traditional safe haven assets, gold and US 10-year treasury bonds during periods of market instability, specifically during the economic concerns raised by the COVID-19 pandemic. It assesses the hedging and safe haven properties of these assets and their dynamic nature throughout two periods of unconventional monetary and fiscal policy measures by the Federal Reserve & US Congress respectively.

3. 2. Study of the effects of the operating conditions of a decanter centrifuge on a pilot-scale protein recovery setup from cold-pressed rapeseed press cake

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

   Author : Sergio de La Cruz Padilla; [2023]
   Keywords : By-product; Rapeseed press cake; protein; Food engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. READ MORE

4. 3. Protein Recovery from Alkaline Extracts: A Comparative Analysis of Isoelectric Precipitation and Ultrafiltration

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

   Author : Anjay Sharma; [2023]
   Keywords : Rapeseed cake; Brewers spent grains; Protein recovery; Ultrafiltration; Alkaline extraction; Food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Proteins are one of three macro-components of a diet. An increasing demand for products that can be a complete protein source exists. The vulnerability of the current food system towards environmental impacts and the inability to keep up with the rising population has shifted the focus on valorising underutilised by-products of the food industry.

5. 4. Continuous Hydrothermal Co-liquefaction of Biomass : An experimental study on the effects of fuel mixing on the composition and yield of biocrude and hydrochar

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

   Author : Simon Fridolfsson; [2022]
   Keywords : HTL; TGA; SEM EDS; Co-liquefaction effects; GROT; Kraft lignin; Microalgae;

   Abstract : An experimental study on the effect of fuel mixing on the products resulting from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) was conducted. The feedstocks used were kraft lignin (KL), GROT (GT) and microalgae cultivated in wastewater (MA). Three sets of mixtures were prepared, each containing two types of feedstocks with a 1:1 ratio: KLGT, MAKL, and MAGT. READ MORE

6. 5. Magnetic Ionic Liquids in Solutions and Emulsions

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Simon Bruno; [2022]
   Keywords : ionic liquids; microemulsion; magnetic response; surfactant; co-surfactant; imidazolium cation; polarity; chain length effect; joniska vätskor; mikroemulsion; magnetisk respons; surfaktant; co-surfaktant; imidazoliumkatjon; polaritet; kedjelängdseffekt;

   Abstract : This research thesis reports experimental work done to design a stable magneticmicroemulsion of ionic liquid in 2-ethylhexyl laurate with the help of an ionic surfactant andan alcohol co-surfactant. The ionic liquids tested were based on a 1,3-dialkylimidazoliumcation with different alkyl chain lengths and a tetrachloroferrate anion ([FeCl4]+) to ensure theemulsion is sensitive to applied magnetic fields.
