    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Wiktoria Breza; [2023]
    Keywords : seed-borne pathogens; artificial regeneration; conifers; thermotherapy;

    Abstract : Pathogen free seeds are critical to produce healthy plants for forest regeneration. However, recent studies have shown that tree seed carry a high diversity of fungi including known and unknown pathogens. READ MORE

  2. 2. Source model for Immunostimulating Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy dosimetry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

    Author : Emily Emilsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A common tool for tissue ablation is the use of heat. For the imILT technique investigated in this project, the heat is induced by the usage of laser light. The light is absorbed by the tissue and is thus turned into heat, the amount absorbed depends on the optical properties of the tissue, such as absorption and scattering. READ MORE
