Allt fler bryggerier vågar nu att gå utanför sin trygghetszon med att använda jäst av typen Saccharomyces cerevisiae och istället börjar experimentera med bakterier och jäst som tidigare ansetts vara produktförstörande, till exempel olika mjölksyrabakterier och vildjäst. Genom forSour beer is rapidly gaining popularity among people that have an interest in craft beer and the microbrewing scene. This leads to breweries starting to venture outside their comfort zones regarding the more traditional brewing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and instead have started experimenting with different kinds of bacteria and yeast that in a normal process is regarded as spoilage bacteria,

Från avrinningsområdet Donauried-Hürbe i södra Tyskland pumpas varje dag grundvatten som renas och levereras som dricksvatten till cirka tre miljoner människor i bland annat städer som Stuttgart och Ulm. Området kring den 200 meter djupa karstakvifären, ifrån vilken dricksvattnet härstammar, är idag miljöpåverkad av mänsklig aktivitet såsom jordbruk och fordonstrafik. För att minimera föroreningsrThe project is part of a larger investigation of the water protection area Donauried-Hürbe. This area is a recharge zone used by one of Germany’s biggest water supply companies, the Zweckverband Landwasserversorgung (LW).

Resorna presenteras i en lista som oftast är sorterad efter avgångstid eller ankomsttid, vilket inte alltid stämmer överens med hur en resenär faktiskt väljer sina resor. Examensarbetet syftar till att utvärdera om det är möjligt att utveckla en maskininlärningsmodell som istället sorterar resorna utifrån reWhen traveling with public transport there is nowadays applications where a traveler can search for trips. The trips is presented as a list and is most often sorted by departure time or arrival time, which not always matches how a traveler actually chooses his trips.
