Packaging design is a powerful vehicle for making our lives friendlier, our planet greener and our businesses richer. It is an essential link between the producer and the customer, where it contributes to the positioning and presentation of a product; and on many occasions, the use of the product after purchase. What is missing is a compass that can guide practitioners in the right direction. ThisThis book is about packaging design for sustainable development, the kind of design that can make our lives friendlier, our planet greener and our businesses richer. It is necessary and obvious that we need to move towards a more sustainable society, as we see more pollution in our oceans, more waste in our streets, more landfills and the tremendous waste of essential resources such as food on our

The Staffordshire hoard was found on 5 July 2009 outside Lichfield, close to Hammerwich. It is one of the biggest hoards that has been found in England. It consists of more than 3000 pieces and has been dated to the Anglo-Saxon period. This bachelor’s thesis in Archaeology examines some of the items in the Staffordshire hoard: two sword pommels, two pyramid- shaped sword fittings, two crosses and

Popular Abstract in English Most of us are familiar with using plant-derived material such as wood for producing heat for warming the cottages or cooking food when we are camping. Apart from that, plant-derived materials such as trees, forest residues, grasses, agricultural crops, agricultural residues and straw have great potential in producing energy in a larger scale. This group of material is In this thesis, a numerical approach is adopted to study biomass thermochemical conversion. Detailed physical and chemical processes involved in the thermochemical conversion of biomass are considered. The aims are to improve the understanding of the physical and chemical processes involved and to develop and validate mathematical models for numerical simulation of the biomass conversion process.

The heat recovery system for ventilation is of major importance when low energy buildings are built. One alternative to the mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery is to use a brine based run-around system that allows for heat recovery in for instance hybrid ventilated buildings. This type of heat recovery system has the potential to lower the need for electricity for the fans. Also, the

Open-source software (OSS) is increasingly used by software applications. It allows for code reuse, but also comes with the problem of potentially being affected by the vulnerabilities that are found in the OSS libraries. With large numbers of OSS components and a large number of published vulnerabilities, it becomes challenging to identify and analyze which OSS components need to be patched and uOpen-Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used by software applications.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to

Iron is a one of the critical elements in our life, being the most common element on earth, forming most of the inner and outer earth’s core. In our bodies iron is required in small amounts for biological processes to be performed. It is recommended to eat food containing iron to avoid common health problems such as anemia. A slight increase or decrease in iron levels above or below normal in liviFriedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by defeciency in frataxin, a highly conserved protein central to iron homeostasis in mirochondria. The function of frataxin is related to its capability to bind, store and deliver iron to different biochemical process such as iron-sulfur cluster assembly and heme biosynthesis. Most FRDA pateints have extended GAA

Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. Evolution has therefore favoured the development of phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator defences.

Gardeners have always used plants of different origins, moving them around to new environments, working hard to make the plants survive and thrive under new conditions. Certain plant varieties have proved to be particularly vital, have a long history as cultivars, and are today understood as heritage plants.

Popular Abstract in English In the modern world of today, we are surrounded with many electronic devices which offer previously unseen performance. These devices constitute a large part of the everyday consumer electronics such as laptops, tablets, smart phones, etc., but are also used in wide variety of domains such as automotive industry, avionics, medicine, etc. The constant demand for high perIncreasing soft error rates in recent semiconductor technologies enforce the usage of fault tolerance. While fault tolerance enables correct operation in the presence of soft errors, it usually introduces a time overhead. The time overhead is particularly important for a group of computer systems referred to as real-time systems (RTSs) where correct operation is defined as producing the correct re
