  4. 2. Approaching well-founded comprehensive nuclear data uncertainties : Fitting imperfect models to imperfect data

    Author : Petter Helgesson; Henrik Sjöstrand; Helmut Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evaluated nuclear data; uncertainty propagation; uncertainty quantification; model defects; Gaussian processes; TALYS; TENDL; covariances.; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

    Abstract : Nuclear physics has a wide range of applications; e.g., low-carbon energy production, medical treatments, and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear data (ND) constitute necessary input to computations needed within all these applications. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synthesis and modifications of materials for separation science

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the preparation of materials for use in separation science and their surface modification by grafting. The overall aim is the preparation of diverse materials by combination of a set of developed tools. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ash chemistry and fuel design focusing on combustion of phosphorus-rich biomass

    Author : Nils Skoglund; Dan Boström; Rainer Backman; Franz Winter; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phosphorus; biomass; combustion; ash chemistry; fuel design; ash transformation; phosphorus-rich; ash-forming elements; fuel fingerprint; ash transformation reactions; Lewis base; Lewis acid; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biomass is increasingly used as a feedstock in global energy production. This may present operational challenges in energy conversion processes which are related to the inorganic content of these biomasses. As a larger variety of biomass is used the need for a basic understanding of ash transformation reactions becomes increasingly important. READ MORE

  7. 5. Distal radius fractures AO type C : A clinical and radiographic investigation

    Author : Eva Lundqvist; Per Wretenberg; Marcus Sagerfors; Per Fischer; Magnus Tägil; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Distal radius fracture; patient-reported outcome measures; functional outcome; radiographic outcome; plating; volar locking plate; combined plating; surgical treatment; post-traumatic arthritis; wrist;

    Abstract : The function of the hand is of substantial importance, and injuries have an impact on daily life. Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common fracture among adults. The annual incidence is 26 per 10,000 inhabitants, and the incidence is increasing because of an aging population. READ MORE
