  2. 1. Thick Nature : Morality and Practice in Swedish Urban Gardens

    Author : María Florencia Langa; Tora Holmberg; Stefan Bargheer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; nature; urban gardening and agriculture; morality; valuations; practice; urban nature; environmentalism;

    Abstract : Recent studies have shown the way assumptions about nature have blinded us to the classed and racialized morality of environmental activism and the deeply moral nature of our debates about the environment. Moral values and imaginaries that trust in the transformative capacity of nature to improve people, cities and society are ubiquitous in the urban context. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thick Concepts in Practice : Normative Aspects of Risk and Safety

    Author : Niklas Möller; Sven Ove Hansson; Tim Lewens; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; thick concepts; non-naturalism; open question argument; risk analysis; safety; epistemic uncertainty; values in risk assessment; safety engineering; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

    Abstract : The thesis aims at analyzing the concepts of risk and safety as well as the class of concepts to which they belong, thick concepts, focusing in particular on the normative aspects involved. Essay I analyzes thick concepts, i.e. concepts such as cruelty and kindness that seem to combine descriptive and evaluative features. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thick Frequency Selective Structures

    Author : Björn Widenberg; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustics; Elektromagnetism; optik; akustik; optics; Electromagnetism; Energy Saving Window; Radome; Finite Elemente Method; Frequency Selective Structure; Mode Matching Technique;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a new method that can handle a general thick Frequency Selective Structure (FSS), that consists of an arbitrary number of aperture layers and dielectric layers. The method is based on the Mode Matching Technique (MMT) and the finite element method (FEM). The thesis consists of a General Introduction and five scientific papers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Thick and Thin Ti2AlC Coatings

    Author : Jenny Frodelius; Lars Hultman; Per Eklund; Hans Högberg; Lars Nyborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This Thesis explores the deposition techniques of magnetron sputtering and high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying for Ti2AlC as a promising high-temperature material. Magnetron sputtering aims at producing thin (≤1 μm) Ti2AlC films of high crystal quality for use as a model system in understanding the material’s basic properties. READ MORE
