Background: Saccharification and fermentation of pretreated lignocellulosic materials, such as spruce, should be performed at high solids contents in order to reduce the cost of the produced bioethanol. However, this has been shown to result in reduced ethanol yields or a complete lack of ethanol production. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results when prehydrolysis is performed at a high

Jet engine noise is an environmental problem that needs to be addressed. Several methods to reduce the jet noise have been proposed in the last decades. The main issue is to find methods that reduce noise without causing considerable loss of thrust. Experimental and computational tools are mandatory in successfully reducing jet engine noise emissions. One of the challenging issues of computing the

Art. 6(1) EKMR garanterar var och en vars civila rättigheter eller skyldigheter blir föremål för prövning eller som blir anklagad för brott en rätt till en rättvis rättegång inför en oavhängig och opartisk domstol.

Den rådande marknaden har nått en punkt där teknisk innovation och tekniska egenskaper har blivit mindre viktiga konkurrensmedel, varför TechCo har insett vikten av tidig brukarinvolvering i innovationsprocessen. För att kunna dra fördel av brukarinvolvering så krävs det emellertid ett innovativt klimat och en effektiv FFE-process. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur pass förbereddAs the topical engineering industry has reached a point where technical innovation and technical features have become less important as means of competition, TechCo has realized the importance of user involvement in their early stages of development. However, in order to absorb this new input flow, certain prerequisites are needed namely an innovative climate and a proficient FFE. The purpose of t

When people endure a crisis caused by the death of a beloved relative, this subject is more pressing than ever. In today’s society, the religious death rite is the normalized way for the mourner to bid her last farewell , regardless if she’s religious or not. This is one

Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. Despite this, the PSA program and many other PES programs do not monitor

Sustainable development requires collaboration between governments, businesses, and citizens. However, economic models, sustainability practices, and global policies are currently not fit-for-purpose to maintain global temperatures to 1.5 degrees centigrade within the timescales required to maintain a safe space for humanity to thrive. This study maps the alignment of business values and practices
