Description

Motivation and application domain
Evaluation, theoretically and practically, whether electroosmosis has a significant effect on mass transport in biological tissues upon application of high-voltage .electrical pulses.

General objectives and main activities
The experimental focus will be on plant tissues, with possible theoretical extension by interpretation of obtained results and models to animal tissues. The basis for this work will be the analysis of existing literature in the field (for theoretical evaluation), followed by practical experimental work to detect effects of electroosmosis by mechanical means using a suitable machine for texture analysis.

Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
To gain practical experience in the characterization of electroosmosis by texture analysis.

Place(s) where the thesis work will be carried out: University of Lubiana
