16. Environmental and hydrogeological geophysics with applications in Thailand, Laos, and Sweden
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents applications of geophysical methods in the fields of environment and hydrogeology. In relation to environmental problems, two different geophysical surveys have been carried out; one to study an arsenic contaminated area in the southern Thailand (paper I) and a second to locate shallow faults in Quaternary sediments in an area around the Ongkharak Nuclear Research Centre, central Thailand (paper II).

Not only do STIs impact quality of life, reproductive health and child health, but they also play a crucial role in facilitating sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). LÄS MER
19. Taro leaf and stylo forage as protein sources for pigs in Laos : biomass yield, ensiling and nutritive value
Sammanfattning : Existing forage plants may have applications as alternative protein resources for pigs in smallholder farming systems. This thesis examined the effect of harvesting/defoliation interval on the yield and chemical composition of taro leaves and stylo forage and analysed appropriate ensiling methods for these materials.
