  2. 1. Suicide Seasonality : Theoretical and Clinical Implications

    Author : Georgios Makris; Fotios Papadopoulos; Lisa Ekselius; Hans Ågren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; suicide; season; antidepressants; sunshine; temperature; Psychiatry; Psykiatri;

    Abstract : Background: Although suicide seasonality has been well-documented, surprisingly little is known about its underlying mechanisms.Methods: In this thesis, data from three Swedish registers (Cause of Death Register, National Patient Register, Prescribed Drugs Register) and data from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute were used.

  4. 2. Study into the Potential and Feasibility of a Standalone Solar-Wind Hybrid Electric Energy Supply System

    Author : Getachew Bekele; Björn Palm; Philip Eames; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind Speed; Sunshine Duration; Solar Radiation; Feasibility Study; Standalone System; Solar-Wind Hybrid; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik;

    Abstract : The tendency to use renewable energy resources has grown continuouslyover the past few decades, be it due to fear over warnings of globalwarming or because of the depletion and short life of fossil fuels or evenas a result of the interest which has developed among researchers doingscientific research into it. This work can be considered as joining any ofthese groups with an objective of giving electric light to the poorpopulation living in one of the poorest nations in the world. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetiska och optiska ; supraledare; magnetisk resonans; egenskaper elektriska; Kondenserade materiens egenskaper:elektronstruktur; supraconductors; magnetic resonance; relaxation; spectroscopy; Condensed matter:electronic structure; electrical; magnetic and optical properties; Kemi; Chemistry; Femtosecond transient absorption; Os-Ru metal ligand complexes; Cu-porphyrin-appended dendrimers; Zn-porphyrin-appended dendrimers; Annihilation; Energy transfer; Solar energy conversion; Artificial photosynthesis; Antenna systems; spektroskopi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Photochemistry; Fotokemi; Femtosecond fluorescence anisotropy;

    Abstract : A continuing use of fossil fuels will accelerate global warning and result in severe consequences for the environment and thereby also us. Development of alternative, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources is therefore crucial. One approach is to create an artificial photosynthetic system that converts sunshine into fuel (e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Relativistic effects in Compton scattering of photons from bound electron states

    Author : A. Roland Ribberfors; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : What is light? A correct answer to this question is: I don't know, but I can see some of its properties"! It is exciting to study such a complex thing and to search for models which can help us to try to understand, in a proper way, some of the most interesting behavior of light. We see the sunshine and the radiation makes us warm, undoubtly it must be some kind of energy? Interference experiments with monochromatic light show that the radiation has wave-like properties, but for example scattering experiments predict a particle nature. READ MORE

  7. 5. Renewing power : Including global asymmetries within the system boundaries of solar photovoltaic technology

    Author : Andreas Roos; Humanekologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; solar energy; photovoltaic technology; ecologically unequal exchange; philosophical materialism; social metabolism; political artifacts; authoritarian technics; machine fetishism; environmental justice; environmental sustainability; solar power;

    Abstract : Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the most favored means of mitigating climate change. At the same time, there is a growing concern over how this technology is both environmentally harmful and unevenly distributed in the world economy. READ MORE
