Are potatoes, grown from seeds, the future? Did you know that you can grow potato plants from seeds? A potato plant has two ways to propagate itself; by the all known potato that we love to eat and by seeds that are grown in tomato-like berries above the ground. These seed producing potato plants that are as well diploid (two copies of every chromosome) instead of conventional tetraploid (4 copie

Popular Abstract in English The potential of coconut proteins as food ingredients was studied with the aim of evaluating how plant proteins, in particular those from coconut, could find industrial applications and compete with proteins of animal origin based on meat, fish, milk or eggs. Three research directions were chosen for investigation, to evaluate how coconut proteins would perform in each At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o

The theory of the Investment Development Path (IDP) by John H. Dunning suggests that as a country develops, its composition of inward and outward foreign direct investment change both regarding to quantity and type of investment. The theory consists of 5 stages a country passes as its OLI-advantages develop. In this paper we have applied the theory of the IDP on the case of Brazil in order to eval

As a global society we are entering an era where land areas and land-based resources are coming to the fore once again for capital accumulation and economic growth, for the first time since the end of the 18th century whe

Popular Abstract in English Synthetic chemicals are the basis of the modern civilisation. Nowadays, they have a bad reputation, but it is only due to them that we are able to live healthier, longer, receive improving medical treatments, use the comforts of modern technologies and not die of thirst and starvation, despite the immense population growth. The main task of organic synthesis is to transThe ligand-directed C—H activation relies on a coordinating donor atom being in proximity to the C—H bond activated. Cyclometallation of 2-(1-naphthyl)-pyridine – a substrate containing both γ- and δ-positions in proximity to the directing nitrogen atom – was studied. Cycloruthenation and cyclopalladation result in γ-substitution and formation of the corresponding 5-membered metallacycles, which i

Through an autoethnographical reflection the aim of this paper is to explore the clash between high ethical ambitions in educative relationships and demandingbehaviours. What happens when the map does not resemble reality, when, forexample, someone in the educative relation does not behave as expected and themethods are challenged? What increases or decreases the risk that the teacher (orsimilar)

Personlig integritet är ett begrepp som har fått en allt viktigare innebörd i arbetslivet de senaste åren. Frågan om drogtesters plats i arbetslivet är en av de mest framträdande frågorna, då det av många anses vara en kränkning av den personliga integriteten. Det är därför av stor vikt att bedöma när och för vilka syften ett drogtest kan anses vara befogat. Det uppstår därmed en situation där arb

The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable fuels such as biogas and biohydrogen will require efficient and economically competitive process technologies together with new kinds of biomass. A two-stage system for biogas production has several advantages over the widely used one-stage continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). However, it has not yet been widely implemented on a large scale. Biohydro

In Lund city center there are many buildings classed as cultural heritage. In Maria Magle, which is one of the oldest block in the city, the Salvation Army build their head quarter in Lund 1899. In recent time the Salvation Army sold their building and it took a new shape and form as a concert hall and is now called Magle Concert Hall. The house is owned and managed by Lund Student Singers, but it

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kampanjen mot kung Leopold av Belgiens mandat över kolonin Kongo. Genom att undersöka Edmund D. Morels argumentation i boken Red Rubber försöker jag visa på hur författaren valt att lägga upp sin argumentation, vilket gjordes genom en retorikanalys. Denna retorikanalys utgick från Thomas Laqueurs teori om en språklig förändring i beskrivningen av kroppen,

In this study, the results from simulations of two sets of a 1/2 scale ISO room (ISO 9705) experiments are presented. In the experiments, heptane in a tray was burned in the middle of the room. Five models with various levels of complexity and geometric detail are used. The comparisons between simulations and experiments show that the fourth model provides the most accurate results with deviation

The paper focuses on three key factors in WTI crude oil futures market: Convenience yield, inventory level and price volatility. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate the relation between those three key factors and analyze how those key factors will affect the market trading behaviors. Market trading behaviors could be measured from various aspects though, our paper will use open intere

Climate change increases the need for climate-adapted cities. In order to sustainably manage climate risks such as increased precipitation and temperatures, alternative solutions are required. Including nature-based solutions into urban planning can help mitigate these risks. Nature-based solutions are supported or inspired by nature and aim to solve problems related to climate change. The purpose

The possibility to make environmental strategy a part of the core strategy through a framework called inside-out/outside-in was suggested by Porter in 2007. Researchers have also stated that the output of implementing a certain strategy ought to be valued during strategy planning. The two areas; environmental strategy and profitability analysis have although not frequently been combined, and thus

Popular Abstract in English There is a natural tendency to take advantage of the most convenient energy source available. In this usage, convenient may mean most abundant, easiest to harvest or simplest to handle. Convenient will also correspond to cheapest in many instances. However, some consider it a responsibility to think of the long term costs of the energy we use. No form of energy is free The matured laser-diagnostic techniques of planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) were applied to a prototype gas turbine burner operating on various fuels. The work was performed to provide verification of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models of the combustion of atypical fuels in a gas turbine combustor. The burner was operated using methane and three s
