The European Spallation Source (sv: Europeiska Spallationskällan) kommer att bli den mest kraftfulla spallationskällan i världen när den är i drift vid full kapacitet. Neutronerna som används av vetenskapsmän och ingenjörer är spallerade från ett roterande hjul av volfram, som blir bombarderat av accellererade protoner. Hjulet, även kallat målet, upplever värmeutveckling under spallationsprocessenThe European Spallation Source (ESS) is going to be the worlds most powerful spallation source once in full operation. The neutrons used by scientists and engineers are spallated from a rotating wheel of wolfram, being bombarded by accellerated protons. The wheel, also called the target, develops heat in the process, and is therefore cooled by a helium cooling system. The target primary cooling sy

The goal of this thesis has been to evaluate the design guidelines that currently exist regarding designing for metal additive manufacturing (AM). More specifically, this project has focused on the design guidelines regarding thin-walled features and how well they work when applied to adapt an industrial part for manufacturing with the AM process laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Making the walls

The mycoprotein was obtained from the company, Mycorena. The mycoprotein is a potential source of alternative protein of the animal origin used as the functional ingredients in the food industry. In this project, mycoprotein concentrate (MC) and mycoprotein isolate (MI) were produced by freeze-drying the biomass and pH-shift processing together with freeze-drying, respectively. Moreover, the funct

Although more and more companies are facing increasing pressure to take responsibility for their actions impacting sustainability, the pharmaceutical industry and in extension the cold chain solutions industry, have previously been exempted from scrutiny. Research on sustainability in the industry is lagging, why this master thesis aims to explore how sustainability can be incorporated into the bu

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely used nowadays, and the research into improving their performances is continually ongoing. One main goal of ANNs is to have a high generalization performance, which can be estimated through validation. Ensembles can be useful to raise the generalization performance, but the validation of ensembles is often computationally costly if the size of the traini

Att förstå hur vegetation reagerar på klimatförändringar är viktigt av flera skäl, inte minst eko-nomiska när det gäller träd som är betydelsefulla för skogsbruket såsom gran (Picea abies) och tall (Pinus Sylvest-ris). För att förstå detta behövs kunskap om de mekanismer som ligger bakom trädarternas respons på förändringar i deras levnadsmiljö, vilket man kan få från paleoekologisk forskning baseThe understanding of how vegetation reacts to climate changes can be considered important for many reasons, not least economical when it comes to trees that are important for forestry industry like spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus Sylvestris). To understand this we need knowledge about the mechanics that lie behind these tree species’ responses to changes in their environment, which can be der

This thesis was done in collaboration with the department of Food Technology at LTH, Aventure AB, and Arwa Foodtech AB. The aim of the project was to develop the base for a baobab based, spoonable protein snack, comparable to quarg but free from ingredients of animal origin. At the time of writing, one of the biggest if not the biggest trend in the food industry is the replacement of animal-source

I dagens samhälle är de flesta produkter inom kosmetika-, läkemedels- och matbranschen baserade på fossilbaserade ingredienser som utvinns från råolja och med de nuvarande klimatproblemen forskas och undersöks det intensivt efter möjligheter till förnybara alternativ. I många produkter från dessa områden finns det ofta ett kemiskt komplex, mellan två större molekyler med olika laddningar. Dessa koAnionic biosurfactant-cationic biopolymer systems were investigated to identify and characterize a coacervation window. The characterization of the systems was performed with dynamic light scattering, small angle x-ray scattering and in-situ ellipsometry. The surfactants sodium- and potassium caprylate (NaC10, KC10) and sodium- and potassium laurate (NaC12, KC12) were studied with titration experi

The retail landscape has endured significant changes as a result of the e-commerce industry’s rapid growth over the last decade. As new channels are being added, traditional brick-andmortar retailers have transformed into multi- and omni-channel retailers in order to seize this growth opportunity. Last-mile delivery is stated to be one of the logistical processes mostly affected by the shift to om

Purpose – The first purpose of this study is to identify and categorize the motivational factors, from a customer and managerial perspective, that restaurant patrons have when choosing between the self-service kiosk (SSK) or the human service counter during their fast-food order. The second purpose is to identify potential gaps between the customer and manager perspectives. Methodology – This stud

This Master’s thesis explores the inherent character traits of personal archival material such as diaries, letters, and photographs, as well as the motivations underlying the preservation of such material. The focus of this study is such personal archival material produced by, or connected to, people whose lives are not celebrated or considered to be of obvious interest to academia or the public.

Syftet med komplicerad vägplanering minskning av olyckor. Massa pengar och tid behövs om nya vägkonstruktioner skulle byggas. Fråga som förbryllar oss går är: Hur effektiva är vara förändraningar gjört till väg? Vårt problemmet, summanfatta i huvudsak, är en "trade-off" mellan budget och risk av olyckor. Den sämest fall är att förändraingar gör inga skillnader, vilket menar att budget ärThis thesis is concerned with the estimation of crash frequency based on the bivariate modeling of surrogate measures of safety (SMoS), which serve as indicators for traffic risk. Using the SMoS, any traffic conflict between two road users can be described by their proximity together with their hypothetical consequence. We quantify traffic conflicts of different severity as random vector of proxim

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på om det finns underlag i språkbruket för att ändra rekommendationen för hur ordet egen böjs i en possessiv konstruktion i singular och om det är rimligt att varianten egna klassas som ytterligare en korrekt variant. För att undersöka det gjordes en korpusundersökning i Korp och Retriever där hobbyskribenters och yrkesskribenters användning av varianten egn

The automated machining is typically performed by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery due to the high stiffness and accuracy provided by these machines, which are expensive and comparably big. For softer materials, such as aluminum, machining is possible using the less stiff industrial robot arm. This is attractive because the robot arm has a much lower cost than CNC combined with a larger

Sea levels are expected to rise by four meters by 2100, which would displace up to 630 million people, while millions of square kilometres of land would be lost, costing the global economy trillions of dollars. While this forecast is alarming, no long-term solution exists to handle permanently increased sea levels. My project, a habitable sea barrier, is an approach to realising a structure that p

En hel del företag arbetar idag med att försöka minska sina utsläpp och därmed även sin klimatpåverkan såväl från egen verksamhet som nedströms och uppströms om egen verksamhet. Ett av de företag som jobbar med att minska utsläppen är företaget Scania som producerar och tillhandahåller transportlösningar såväl i Sverige som globalt. Utsläppen från Scanias egen verksamhet låg 2021 på 105 800 ton COThis master thesis is carried out in collaboration with the company Scania which is a provider of transport solutions. The thesis is carried out at Scania’s production unit Engine Assembly where engines are assembled, tested and painted. All engines proceed through a standard test procedure while some of the engines also proceed through special test procedures carried out in the ”Audit Area”. The
