Spray-dried milk serum protein concentrate powders could be applied either as ingredients in dairy applications or delivery materials in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Yet, one of the critical challenges is that lumps are easily to form when the powders is added into water. Surface rheology of solutions from redissolved protein powders is suggested to be an important part in increasing

This industrial design project is focusing on the area of kitchen appliances and its relationship to the environmental issues of today. The reason why we started to work in this field was because we wanted to work towards sustainability in an area where it was not a common thing - and we immediately chose electronic devices. You rarely see an ecological X-box or a repairable computer. W

Varierande likhet i blomdoft – beror det på släktskapsband? De senaste decennierna har kunskapen om blomdoft och dess betydelse i interaktioner mellan växter och insekter ökat avsevärt. Det finns en stor mängd olika doftämnen i blommors doft och blomdoften kan vara högst variabel, inte bara mellan arter utan också mellan individer av samma art. Även om vissa doftämnen verkar sakna ekologisk funktUnderstanding the evolutionary processes behind intraspecific variation and population differentiation is an important topic in biology, since intraspecific variation is required for speciation. Angiosperms show fascinating diversity in flower designs. Since the flower is crucial for reproductive success and at the same time often involved in biotic interactions with pollinators and/or herbivores,

The main objective of this bachelor’s thesis was to develop a prototype for a system in the shape of a database with applications for environmental reports from waste incineration plants. The intent is to create a showcase and a proof of technology for ÅF Malmö’s customers who have an estimated benefit of this technology. The system needs to process data from a waste incineration plant according t

En järnväg kommer till en ort som tidigare saknat tågtrafik. En station ska byggas och passas in i en befintlig struktur. Nya möjligheter till att pendla skapas, till arbetsplatser och utbildning på andra orter. Fler får också möjlighet att besöka orten tack vare järnvägen. Under järnvägsbyggandets guldålder för drygt 100 år sedan kunde orter få en enorm tillväxt tack vara den nya förbindelsen ochThe places close to where a new railway line and new stations are established, are hugely affected by the arrival of this new mode of transportation. New possibilities to travel further in the same time as before, or the same distance in half the time, significantly increases the opportunities for both commuting and for visiting places. Historically, new villages or even towns have sprung up as

My master thesis project is an approach to define physical and societal boundaries and barriers in architecture for mental health, both concerning public space and the building itself. The typology Diagnest's aim is to reduce stigma in mental health, by providing "nests" for all groups of the society. I researched various projects by known architects to challenge myself in the proces

Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure

Achieving constitutional amendment has been a goal for the Japanese conservatives for a long time, especially after the Cold War, because Japan’s peace identity has been perceived increasingly “abnormal” by the conservative elites in Japan. It thus engendered the heated debates surrounding whether Japan should change its peace identity via controversial constitutional amendment, which conflicts ag

The decay of solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation is studied in two expanding cosmological spacetimes, namely (1) the de Sitter universe in flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) form, and (2) the cosmological region of the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter (RNdS) model. Using energy methods, for initial data with finite higher order energies, bounds on the decay rates of the solution are obOne of the most profound realisations of physics of the twentieth century is that space and time should be considered as a single whole, a four-dimensional geometric object called spacetime, rather than two separate entities. Gravitation arising from matter manifests itself as curvature of spacetime, and the motion of matter is described by the straightest possible curves on this curved spacetime.

Saker klistrar, klibbar och fäster till varandra. Det har nog alla varit med om i olika aveseenden och situationer. Men vad är det egentligen som ger upphov till att visa saker, som lim eller klister, fäster mot varandra medan andra inte gör det? Och hur påverkar olika faktorer som temperatur, ytstruktur eller typ utav material hur mycket det fäster? Det här exjobbet är byggt runt ett fenomen somStickiness between materials can be a challening task when dealing with the complex interactions and processes related to packaging engineering. Part of the problem is that many factors like temperature, pressure, surface treatment as well as surface roughness all could play a part in contributing to the stickiness between materials. In this thesis a literature study has been done to map out poten

Laserstrålprofilen av en OPCPA Lasrar har blivit en stor del av våra liv. De finns i CD-läsare, i streckkodsläsare i affären, inom medicin som sätt att skära utan att använda knivar, och i många andra applikationer. I vetenskaplig forskning finns det användning för förstärkta laserstrålar med långa bandbredder av våglängder. Det finns många metoder för att amplifiera laserstrålar. OPCPA är en såOPCPA stands for optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification. It is a nonlinear method for amplifying broadband laser beams. The spatial properties of the output of the laser beam depends on the amplification method itself and the broadband configuration. The phase matching in this method causes the different wavelengths in the broadband to have different angular dispersions. In order to inves

We are constantly interacting with UI/UX in different shapes, forms or applications, which is very important especially when using electronic interfaces. Therefore, we need to design well-thought-out and user-friendly interfaces that elevate the user’s experience. When it comes to fantasy sports games, statistics is a big factor for understanding fantasy sport which might be at most times overwhel

“Choice blindness” (CB) refers to a certain tendency to accept a choice that is presented to us as if it were our own, even when we have never made it. In the last decade, CB has been treated as a research tool in a series of experiments in different domains and modalities (e.g. Johansson et al. 2005, 2008; Hall et al. 2010, 2013; Sagana et. al 2014; Cochran et al. 2016) in order to study the rela

I en värld av stigande oro över materialbrist och klimatförändring har den cirkulära ekonomin fått allt mer uppmärksamhet. Ett område som i nuläget är högaktuellt är byggindustrins omställning mot en mer cirkulär ekonomi. Denna studie kastar ett ljus över hur cirkulärt byggande uppfattas, vilka hinder som finns i nuläget och vad man kan dra nytta av i arbetet framöver. I takt med en växande världAs the global world population is growing, so is the demand and consumption for the earth's natural resources. Circular economy has attracted global attention as an alternative to the predominating linear economic system. The construction industry represents a field causing significant climate-and environmental impact and waste. How circular economy should be applied practically within constru

The purpose of this work was to contribute to the creation of a prototype of a new type of robot called Agile Parallel Kinematic Manipulator or AgilePKM for short. Designing, building and controlling a new type of robot is a task which goes beyond the scope of any master thesis project, but there are subtasks which are more suitable to handle within the available time frame. A principle design wil
