  2. 1. Physiology of Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus: a hydrogen cell factory

    Author : Karin Willquist; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; growth activation; hydrogen tolerance; hydrogen yields CO2 inhibition; physiology; enzyme kinetics; Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus; biohydrogen; energy metabolism;

    Abstract : A high substrate conversion efficiency is a prerequisite for an economically feasible biohydrogen production. Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is a strictly anaerobic extreme thermophilic bacterium that is able to convert the theoretical maximum of 4 mol/mol glucose to H2. READ MORE

  4. 2. Egypt Ignited : How Steam Power Arrived on the Nile and Integrated Egypt into Industrial Capitalism (1820s-76)

    Author : Amr Ahmed; Humanekologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy history; history of technology; environmental history; steam power; capitalism; Industrial Revolution; Global warming; Egypt; modern history; agrarian production; biofuels; Sugar industry; cotton; Energihistoria; Teknikhistoria; Miljöhistoria; Ångmaskin; Kapitalism; Industriella revolutionen; global uppvärmning; Egypten; Modern historia; Jordbruksproduktion; biobränslen; Sockerindustrin; Bomull;

    Abstract : How did fossil-fuelled technology find its way to Egypt on its way to global dominance? This thesis presents a socioecological history of energy technologies in agrarian production in pre-colonial Egypt (1820s – 76). It situates them in the nineteenth century, understood as the beginning of the epoch of the Capitalocene; and in Egypt’s case, this is simultaneously part of the rise of Britain’s fossil empire.

    Abstract : This work deals with the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic agricultural residues, by means of combined pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, to be used for ethanol production. Four agricultural by-products, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Treatment wetlands in a tropical climate

    Author : Hristina Bojcevska; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The decrease of water resources values as a result of eutrophication is a major problem in numerous lakes around the world, including the Great African Lakes. One of the most important tasks to limit this eutrophication, is to decrease the nutrient input from land-based activities. READ MORE
