1. Environmental Modeling and Uncertainty
Abstract : Environmental fate models are used to evaluate the fate and effects of chemicals for risk assessment. Fate models may be effective and low-cost substitutes for field measurements and are helpful to project future scenarios. READ MORE

2. Mining Futures : Predictions and Uncertainty in Swedish Mineral Exploration
Abstract : Any forward-oriented enterprise must somehow manage the challenges posed by uncertainty and with its distant temporal horizons, high stakes, and low probability of success, mineral exploration is a good illustration of this general rule. Based on a combination of interviews, observations, and archival research, this thesis investigates how explorationists use predictions to manage the material complexities and the uncertainties that contribute to determining the future minability of mineral deposits.

3. Precision mass measurements : Final limit of SMILETRAP I and the developments of SMILETRAP II
Abstract : The subject of this thesis is high-precision mass-measurements performed with Penning trap mass spectrometers (PTMS). In particular it describes the SMILETRAP I PTMS and the final results obtained with it, the masses of 40Ca and that of the proton. READ MORE

4. Improving the Neutron Cross-section Standards 238U(n,f) and 6Li(n,a) : Measurements and Simulations
Abstract : Improving or extending the range of cross-section standards, which in general are believed to be well known, require good control of the experimental conditions and the uncertainties involved. Two experiments that aspire to improve two different neutron cross-section standards, 238U(n,f) and 6Li(n,a, are presented in this thesis. READ MORE

5. Calibration Procedure and Industrial Applications of Coherence Scanning Interferometer
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
