  1. 1. Trädplantering i den hårdgjorda staden : utmaningar och lösningsalternativ

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Ingela Carlgren; [2024]
    Keywords : gatuträd; urbana träd; trädplantering; gatumiljö; urban jord; kompaktering; skelettjord; makadamsubstrat; rotceller; suspended pavement;

    Abstract : Träd är viktiga delar av våra städer. De bidrar med många ekosystemtjänster, som klimatreglering, dagvattenhantering och positiva hälsoeffekter. De är också viktiga identitetsskapande element. READ MORE

  3. 2. Salt tolerant horticultural plants to save freshwater usage

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Tsun-Ya Chuang; [2024]
    Keywords : climate change; freshwater scarcity; halophyte; salt tolerance; bonsai;

    Abstract : As freshwater becomes scarce worldwide due to climate change and population increases, there is an urgent need to develop innovative approaches to address the issue of reducing freshwater consumption. Selecting species with high ornamental value and salt tolerance for use as green hedges or bonsai in urban or coastal areas could be a strategic approach for promoting greening and maintaining water resource sustainability.

  4. 3. Molecular Insights into the Interactions of Monovalent Cations with Highly charged Fatty Acid Monolayers

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Ran Carlhamn Rasmussen; [2023]
    Keywords : VSFS; Langmuir monolayer; ion specific effects; modified Poisson Boltzmann; carboxylic acid; VSFS; Langmuir monolager; jonspecifika effekter; modifierad Poisson Boltzmann; karboxylsyra;

    Abstract : Vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy har använts för att studera interaktionerna mellan monovalenta joner och laddade fettsyramonolager. Subfasen bestod av utvalda alkalihydroxidsaltlösningar med pH12, med huvudfokus på cesiumjonen. READ MORE

  5. 4. Faradaic Reactions in Capacitive Deionization : A Comparison of Desalination Performance in Flow-through Cell Architectures

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : John Bradley; Miranda Carlström; [2023]
    Keywords : Capacitive deionization; Faradaic reactions; Flow-through CDI; Upstream anode; Downstream anode; Desalination Performance; pH fluctuations;

    Abstract : Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an energy-efficient desalination technology that utilizes an electric field to extract ions from water. Flow-through CDI systems show potential for superior desalination performance compared to traditional flow-by CDI; however, they face the challenge of increased occurrence of Faradaic reactions, leading to undesired by-products and reduced energy efficiency.

  6. 5. The role of WRKY 15 in xylem development and salt response in Arabidopsis thaliana

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Johanna Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : WRKY15; VND; xylem; salinity; water availability;

    Abstract : Xylem is a water-conducting tissue in vascular plants, that absorbs water from the roots and distributes it throughout the compartments, providing the plant with essential water and nutrients for its cellular processes. The xylem, divided into protoxylem and metaxylem, develops differently according to the various abiotic circumstances, in which transcription factors have a crucial role. READ MORE
