  2. 1. Uncertainty in risk assessment : contents and modes of communication

    Author : Rikard Levin; Sven Ove Hansson; Erik Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; uncertainty; scientific uncertainty; characterization of uncertainty; decision-making under uncertainty; risk assessment; risk management; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

    Abstract : Assessments of chemical health risks are performed by scientific experts. Their intended use is as bases for decisions. This thesis tries to answer the questions of how uncertainty is, and should be, communicated in such risk assessments. The thesis consists of two articles and an introductory essay. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization of Chimney Flue Gas Flows : Flow Rate Measurements with Averaging Pitot Probes

    Author : Janne Paavilainen; Chris Bales; Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; Lennart Gustavsson; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flue gas; measurement; characterization; averaging Pitot tube; SolNET;

    Abstract : Performance testing methods of boilers in transient operating conditions (start, stop and combustion power modulation sequences) need the combustion rate quantified to allow for the emissions to be quantified. One way of quantifying the combustion rate of a boiler during transient operating conditions is by measuring the flue gas flow rate. READ MORE

  5. 3. Calibration Procedure and Industrial Applications of Coherence Scanning Interferometer

    Author : Olena Flys; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Coherence Scanning Interferometer; Power Spectral Density; 3D parameters; Characterization; uncertainty;

    Abstract : Countless industrial applications over the past decades have indicated the increased need to relate surface texture to surface function. Measurement and characterization of the areal nature of the surface allows the manufacturer to alter how the surface interacts with surroundings. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterization of MIMO Antennas and Terminals: Measurements in Reverberation Chambers

    Author : Chen Xiaoming; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; channel characterization; Reverberation chamber; measurement uncertainty.; maximum ratio combining MRC diversity gain; multiple-input multiple-output MIMO capacity;

    Abstract : The reverberation chamber (RC) has drawn attention as a multipath emulator over the past decade for both passive and active over-the-air (OTA) tests. The overview of this thesis is given in Chapter 1. READ MORE

  7. 5. Protecting food with poison : Exploring ecotoxicity of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals

    Author : Oskar Nyberg; Michael Tedengren; Peter Fantke; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCA; ecotoxicology; uncertainty; antibiotics; aquaculture; pesticides; Ecotoxicology; ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : Chemicals are being emitted into the environment through human activities, such as agriculture or animal husbandry. Emissions can either occur intentionally, as pesticide application of crops, or inadvertently, such as pharmaceutical residues in wastewater effluents. READ MORE
