6. Characterization of Nopal cactus cladode flours regarding dietary fiber and starch content, and their effects on postprandial glycemic regulation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)Abstract : Background: Previous study found that 2 batches of Nopal flour supplied by the same suppliers at different time was performing different results in in vitro studies and the quality of Nopal flour might thus be different. Besides, investigation on whether the soluble or the insoluble fraction of the Nopal flour suspensions contributed to the glycemic modulation was still necessary. READ MORE

7. NDVI time series analysis for desert locust outbreak detection and quantification analysis of its impact on vegetation productivity of Sahel
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : It has been shown that the semi-arid environment of the Sahelian belt plays an important role in the global carbon uptake as the fluctuation of its primary productivity can be determinant for the global carbon uptake. The insect Schistocerca gregaria commonly known as the desert locust is a disturbance factor that can affect the vegetation productivity for consecutive seasons. READ MORE

10. Evaluation of water stress mapping methods in vineyards using airborne thermal imaging
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : With low cost and high efficiency, use of airborne infrared thermography imaging from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has become a widely used technique to measure plant water stress. With that, the use of UAV mounted thermal camera as a precision agriculture technique to map crop water stress is not trivial and its success is depended on variety of factors which are still needed to be studied and understood.
