  2. 1. PLANT-BACTERIAL AND PLANT-FUNGAL COMPETITION FOR NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS

    Author : Katarina Månsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtekologi; Amino acid; 15N; Soil C:N ratio; Plant ecology; Soil drying-rewetting;

    Abstract : Competition between and within species has been one of the most studied concepts in ecology. In this thesis the aim was to test the idea of plant-microbial competition for N and, by studying this interaction, to gain a better understanding of different N processes in soil. READ MORE

  4. 2. Retrofitting CHP Plant and Optimization of Regional Energy System

    Author : Song Han; Jinyue Yan; Eva Thorin; Mats Westermark; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : annual performance; combined heat and power; drying; ethanol; integration; part-load.; årliga prestation; kraftvärme; torkning; etanol; integration; del-last.; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : The use of biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP) plants is considered by the EU administration to be an effective way to increase the use of renewables in the energy system, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to alleviate the dependency on imported fossil fuels. At present in Sweden, most of the CHP plants are operated in part-load mode because of variations in heat demand. READ MORE

  5. 3. Utilization of Wild Fruit in Mozambique – Drying of Vangueria infausta (African medlar)

    Author : Eulália Chiau; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vangueria infausta; drying; maltodextrin; sucrose; softener; toughness; solar-assisted pervaporation; aroma; crystallization; water activity;

    Abstract : Vangueria infausta (African medlar) is a wild fruit found in southern and central Mozambique. The ripe fruit has a leathery skin enclosing three to five seeds embedded in a soft pulp that tastes like apple. It plays an important role in the diet of the rural population and has the potential for commercial use. READ MORE

  6. 4. Filamentous fungi in wrapped forages

    Author : Jessica Schenck; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wrapped forages of higher dry matter (DM) concentrations (> 50 %), also referred to as haylage are common in Sweden and Norway. Such forages are preserved by a combination of semi-drying and anaerobic storage leading to an environment that may affect the composition of filamentous fungi differently than in hay or silage.

  7. 5. Pulsed Electric Field Treatment of Plant Tissue

    Author : Mustafa Fincan; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bimodal Fickian diffusion model; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; generalized Maxwell model; onion Neutral Red; visualization; red beetroot; potato; epidermis; plant tissue; electroporation; Cell permeabilization; Pulsed electric field; PEF;

    Abstract : A pulsed electric field (PEF) is a newly emerged non-thermal food processing technology which has characteristic effects on the cell membrane. PEF processing involves subjecting food to short, repeated pulses of a high electric field between an anode and a cathode. READ MORE
