   Abstract : In recent years, the microalgal–bacterial process has been considered to be a very attractive engineering solution for wastewater treatment. However, it has not been widely studied in the context of conventional wastewater treatment design under Swedish conditions. READ MORE

4. 2. Investigating Effects of Water Injection on SI Engines

   Author : Jayesh Khatri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Knock Mitigation; Downsized SI engine; RON; Water Injection; Particulates; Relative Humidity;

   Abstract : In recent years, there has been a major shift towards the partial or complete electrification of vehicles that have traditionally been powered by conventional internal combustion (IC) engines; almost all major automotive manufacturers have rightly stated that they will make such a shift. This has been motivated in large part by pressure from governments and policymakers to minimize vehicular emissions, especially those of the greenhouse gas CO2, in order to control climate change.

5. 3. Responsible resource management in hotels : attitudes, indicators, tools and strategies

   Author : Paulina Bohdanowicz; Björn Palm; Ivo Martinac; Walter Jamieson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hotels; energy and water management; energy and water conservation; environmental awareness; environmental reporting; performance indicators; consumption modelling; benchmarking; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : Hotels constitute one of the main, and still expanding, pillars of the tourism sector and are highly unique among other commercial buildings. Resource intensive and frequently inefficient systems and operational routines applied in the sector, result in considerable environmental impact and indicate an urgent need for more environmentally sound practices and products in the hotel industry.

6. 4. Marginal and Virtual Water for Sustainable Water Resources Management in Syria

   Author : Khaldoon A. Mourad; Centrum för Mellanösternstudier (CMES); []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Arid and semiarid Middle Eastern countries generally, and Syria in particular, face serious water shortage problems and challenges with water sustainability. Climate change, population growth, and economic development play a major role in decreasing available water resources per capita. READ MORE

7. 5. Water treatment using cryogel-based adsorbents - Targeting environmental pollutants at low concentrations

   Author : Linda Önnby; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adsorption; cryogels; nanoparticles; arsenic; cadmium; water treatment; composites;

   Abstract : The lack of safe, clean water is strongly linked to poverty, underdevelopment and poor health. Water is needed not only to sustain life, but to produce food and in industrial processes. Anthropogenic pollution and natural events can jeopardize access to safe water. READ MORE
