  2. 1. The measurement of chemical persistence in the field by benchmarking : Theory and Experiment

    Author : Hongyan Zou; Michael McLachlan; Keri Hornbuckle; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chemical benchmarking; persistence; half-lives; modeling; threshold benchmarking; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Persistence is one of the core criteria in chemical exposure and hazard assessment. It is often defined as the half-life for the removal of a chemical from a specified environment by transformation. Chemicals with long transformation half-lives may pose high risks for wildlife or humans and be subject to long-range transport to remote areas. READ MORE

  4. 2. Resonant magnetic perturbation effect on the tearing mode dynamics : Novel measurements and modeling of magnetic fluctuation induced momentum transport in the reversed-field pinch

    Author : Richard Fridström; Per Brunsell; Lorenzo Frassinetti; Tommaso Bolzonella; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RFP; reversed-field pinch; tokamak; tearing mode; RMP; fusion; plasma; resonant magnetic perturbation; stochastic; magnetic; field; viscosity; mode; locking; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The tearing mode (TM) is a resistive instability that can arise in magnetically confined plasmas. The TM can be driven unstable by the gradient of the plasma current. When the mode grows it destroys the magnetic field symmetry and reconnects the magnetic field in the form of a so-called magnetic island. READ MORE

  5. 3. Residual and critical saturation in geological storage of CO2 : results from field studies, pore-network modelling and laboratory experiments

    Author : Ramin Moghadasi; Auli Niemi; Philip Ringrose; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geological CO2 storage; Residual trapping; Gas remobilization; Field experiment; Numerical modelling; Pore-network modelling; Pore-scale imaging;

    Abstract : Geological storage of CO2 in deep saline aquifers is a promising technology in the combat to reduce the atmospheric emissions of CO2. A critical component in this solution is the estimation of aquifer’s in situ capability to store CO2. READ MORE

  6. 4. Prosocial Behavior, Social Interaction and Development: Experimental Evidence from Vietnam

    Author : Nam Pham Khanh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Voluntary contribution; local public goods; social influence; default contribution; conditional cooperation; disclosure; social preferences; preferences for relative position; preference stability; moral licensing; moral cleansing; adaptation to climate change; social capital; field experiment; natural experiment; lab experiment; Vietnam.;

    Abstract : Paper 1. Funding a New Bridge in Rural Vietnam: A Field Experiment on Conditional Cooperation and Default Contributions The ability to provide public goods is essential for economic and social development, yet there is very limited empirical evidence regarding contributions to a real local public good in developing countries.

  7. 5. Inference on Dark Matter in Effective Field Theories : From XENON1T towards XENONnT: Chiral effective field theory analysis of nuclear recoils, single electrons and uncommon background modelling

    Author : Vasile Cristian Antochi; Jan Conrad; Björn Penning; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark Matter; Direct Detection; Effective Field Theory; Chiral Effective Field Theory; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : Cosmological and astronomical observations show that most of the matter in the Universe is dark. This dissertation provides an overview of the dark matter evidence, and focuses on the particle dark matter hypothesis, describing possible particle candidates, concentrating on the Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs).
