  1. 1. From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Christopher Keegan; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Genebanks; Genetic Engineering; Mixed-Methods; Multi-Disciplinary; Patent Analysis; Plant Genetic Resources; Synthetic Biology; Technological Trajectories; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete.

  3. 2. A study of photovoltaics and of combining solar power with an existing wind power plant

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Daniel Mittel; Max Wither; [2023]
    Keywords : photovoltaics; wind power; grid connection; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. READ MORE

  4. 3. Non-Destructive Biomass and Relative Growth Rate Estimation in Aeroponic Agriculture using Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Oskar Åström; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Image Analysis; Aeroponics; Hydroculture; Relative Growth Rate; Multi-variate Regression; Neural Network; ResNet; Plant Growth; Plant Physiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Optimising plant growth in a controlled climate requires good measurements of both biomass (measured in grams) and relative growth rate (measured in grams of growth per day and gram of plant). In order to do this efficiently and continuously on an individual level during plant development, this has to be done non-destructively and without frequent and labor intensive weighing of plant biomass.

  5. 4. Effect of High-Pressure Homogenization and Heat Treatment on the Emulsification Properties of Oat Protein Concentrate

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

    Author : Annette Kägu; [2022]
    Keywords : oat proteins; high-pressure homogenisation; emulsions; food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with an agricultural cooperative Lantmännen Oats AB, who has developed a dry protein powder concentrate PrOatein™. The powder consists of oat proteins, dextrins, lipids and β-glucans. READ MORE

  6. 5. Banana by-products in Thailand - Exploring its feasibility as bioplastics feedstock for food packaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Ratchadetch Termpitipong; [2021]
    Keywords : Banana by-products; bio-based packaging; bioplastic; value chain; Thailand; feasibility; DEFT analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders involved in banana cultivation and bioplastic value chains were used in data collection process.
