    Abstract : This thesis includes four papers based on animal experimental work. They analyze the way in which activation of a specific motivational state - hunger- modulates the rewarding actions of alcohol and taste palatability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interactions between gray-sided voles (Clethrionomys rufocanus) and vegetation in the Fennoscandian tundra

    Author : Jonas Dahlgren; Lauri Oksanen; Johan Olofsson; John Terborgh; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gray-sided voles; tundra vegetation; trophic cascades; plant-herbivore interactions; bilberry; plant communities; herbivory; plant resistance; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestisk ekologi;

    Abstract : I have, in this thesis, studied the interactions between gray-sided voles (Clethrionomys rufocanus) and tundra vegetation, on islands in, and mainland sites close to the lake Iešjávri, in northern Norway. As isolated islands are virtually free of predation, I have been able to compare plant-herbivore interactions in the presence and absence of predators. READ MORE

  5. 3. Enhancing spruce defence against an insect pest : effects of somatic embryogenesis and methyl jasmonate treatment

    Author : Kristina Berggren Nieto; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Enhancing plant resistance against pests has the potential to become a sustainable alternative within forestry. Exogenous application of the plant defence signalling hormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) as well as propagation through somatic embryogenesis (SE) has been shown to increase Norway spruce (Picea abies) plant’s resistance to the major forest regeneration pest the pine weevil Hylobius abietis.

  6. 4. Aroma components in Vangueria infausta L. : Characterization of components using GC_MS and aroma loss during drying

    Author : Rui Ráice; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; encapsulation.; threshold; drying; volatiles; vangueria infausta;

    Abstract : This study focuses on the fruit of the African medlar (Vangueria infausta L., family Rubiaceae). The investigation included the development of an extraction procedure of volatile components from the fruit matrix, a purification step, separation, identification and quantification. READ MORE

  7. 5. Impact of fermentation on the nutritive value of cassava root pulp and soybean pulp as a feed for growing pigs in Lao PDR

    Author : Lotchana Taysayavong; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluated the impact of fermentation on the nutritive value of cassava root pulp (CRP) and soybean pulp (SBP) as feed for growing pigs. The evaluation was based on four studies (two fermentation and two animal studies). READ MORE
