1. Distributed thermal response tests : New insights on U-pipe and Coaxial heat exchangers in groundwater-filled boreholes
Abstract : U-pipe Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE) are widely used today in ground source heating and cooling systems in spite of their less than optimal performance. This thesis provides a better understanding on the function of U-pipe BHEs and Investigates alternative methods to reduce the temperature difference between the circulating fluid and the borehole wall, including one thermosyphon and three different types of coaxial BHEs.

3. Patient empowerment during the transition to adulthood in young persons with chronic conditions
Abstract : During the transition to adulthood and adult care young persons with chronic conditions (CCs) are in need of developing the skills necessary to manage their condition, communicate with the healthcare provider, participate in the decision-making process and become autonomous. In order to help them develop such skills, patient empowerment has been suggested as a relevant approach. READ MORE

5. Too big to fail? A case study of the rise and fall of a medical research infrastructure
Abstract : Introduction: Distributed Research Infrastructures are becoming increasingly more salient as science expands and universities continue to look for new means to cooperate and share expertise and expenses on large-scale projects. One area which has seen much development in recent years is biobanking, as there have been numerous attempts to harmonise the different biobanking standards over the years, none of which have been entirely successful.
