  1. 6. GRAPHENE MODIFIED E-TEXTILE : AN INDUSTRY RELEVANT APPROACH OF DOPING AND VISUALISING A FULLY TEXTILE P-N JUNCTION DIODES

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Bilel Meskini; [2023]
    Keywords : E-textile; viscose; polyester; graphene; graphene oxide GO; reduced graphene oxide rGO; tannic acid; plasma treatment; electrochemical deposition; doping; semiconductor;

    Abstract : As a wonder material, graphene has been studied in various applications due to its exceptional properties. Recently it has been used in textile to obtain functionalised garments as E-textile. From an industry-relevant perspective, it is essential to introduce a process that could be scaled-up. READ MORE

  3. 7. Investigation of the impact of different sugar compositions on the moisture absorption of hard candy when exposed to a humid environment

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

    Author : Gila van den Eijnde; [2023]
    Keywords : Hard candy; Sugar composition; Hygroscopicity; Moisture absorption; Shelf life; Product stability; Food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hard candy is hygroscopic, implying that hard candy readily absorbs moisture from the environment, resulting in adverse changes in the texture and appearance of the candy. This thesis investigates the impact of different sugar compositions on the moisture absorption of hard candy when exposed to a humid environment. READ MORE

  4. 8. Change in uptake and transfer of zinc in the food chain when predatory fish disappear from the system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Westerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Aquatic food web; Food chain structure; Trophic transfer; Decline of top predators; Stage-structured biomass model; Pollutants; Heavy metals; Zinc; Akvatisk födoväv; Födovävsstruktur; Trofisk överföring; Minskning av toppredatorer; Stegstrukturerad biomassamodell; Föroreningar; Tungmetaller; Zink;

    Abstract : There is a widespread distribution of possibly toxic heavy metals, such as zinc, in aquatic ecosystems. Simultaneously aquatic food webs are changing due to declining predatory fish stocks. READ MORE

  5. 9. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Carl Holmquist; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; LPJ-GUESS; drought; sensitivity analysis; evapotranspiration; gross primary production; hydraulic parameters; boreal forest.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. READ MORE

  6. 10. WASTEWATER REUSE FOR IRRIGATION : Investigation of heavy metals and pharmaceuticals impact on crop irrigation

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Abusah Paschal; [2023]
    Keywords : treated wastewater; sewage farms; wastewater treatment plant; freshwater; systematic literature review; contaminants; salinity; carbon content; plant yield;

    Abstract : The use of treated wastewater (TWW) for crop irrigation is how many governments are looking to feed their large population due to urbanisation. Here, we outline and analyse the benefits of using TWW and the drawbacks of such practices in line with existing regulations. READ MORE
