The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is wh

This study aimed to determine the protective effects of three main lyoprotectants (sucrose, maltodextrin, GOS) and two sub-lyoprotectants (mono sodium glutamate, sodium ascorbate) and their effectiveness on the survival of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri after freeze drying and during storage. The objective of the freeze-drying method with the formulation is to enhance the storage stability of La

With the growing development and general interest of smart living, made possible through Internet-of-Things, a need for the exploration and studies of how smart homes can be made more accessible has been increasingly more evident.

Musslor bidrar till en god havsmiljö genom att äta havsplankton och på så sätt minska algblomningen. Idag konsumeras finare musslor av människor i olika rätter, däremot går andrasorteringen ofta till djurfoder eller till gödning. Genom att hitta fler tillämpningar för de proteinrika musslorna skapas en högre efterfrågan på musslor som i sin tur gör att mer musslor odlas och på så sätt ger oss frisMussels contribute to a good marine environment by eating sea plankton and thus reducing the eutrophication. Today, high quality mussels are consumed by humans in different dishes, however, the second quality is often used as animal feed or as fertilizers in agriculture. By finding more applications for the protein rich mussels, a higher demand for mussels is created which in turn means that more
