2. 1. Effect of Hyporheic Exchange on Conservative and Reactive Solute Transport in Streams : Model Assessments Based on Tracer Tests

   Author : Karin Jonsson; Anders Wörman; Bernhard H. Schmid; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; conservative; hyporheic exchange; model; reactive; retention; solute; sorption kinetics; stream transport; temporal moments; tracer experiment; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Sedimentology; sedimentologi;

   Abstract : Understanding of the processes affecting solute transport in flowing water is important for the possibility to predict the evolution with time of polluted stream systems. This thesis presents tracer experiment methodology and model developments for solute transport in streams, with special focus on retention processes and their effect on solute stream transport.

4. 2. Effect of Uncertainty of Rock Properties on Radionuclide Transport by Groundwater : Implications for Performance Assessments of the Repository of Spent Nuclear Fuel in Heterogeneous Bedrock

   Author : Shulan Xu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Radionuclide migration; heterogeneous rock property; stochastic process spectral analysis; temporal moments; auto-covariance functions; sorption kinetics; performance assessment; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Sedimentology; sedimentologi;

   Abstract : The overall objective of the current study is to develop a quantitative understanding of the effects of spatial variability in physical and geochemical properties of crystalline rock on the migration of radionuclides along a single fracture in bedrock. A stochastic model was developed to describe the transport of solutes in fractured rock. READ MORE

5. 3. Solute Transport Across Scales : Time Series Analyses of Water Quality Responses to Quantify Retention and Attenuation Mechanisms in Watersheds

   Author : Joakim Riml; Anders Wörman; Aaron I. Packman; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solute transport modeling; Transient storage; Tracer test; Central temporal moments; Spectral analysis; Parameterization;

   Abstract : The intra-continental movement of waterborne contaminants is governed by the distribution of solute load in the landscape along with the characteristics and distribution of the hydrological pathways that transport the solutes. An understanding of the processes affecting the transport and fate of the contaminants is crucial for assessments of solute concentrations and their environmental effect on downstream recipients.

6. 4. Time of Crisis : Order, Politics, Temporality

   Author : Petter Narby; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Crisis; Exception; Order; Politics; Time; Temporality; Derrida; Deconstruction; Statsvetenskap med inriktning mot krishantering och internationell samverkan;

   Abstract : Crises are common and problematic features of contemporary politics. Thought as moments in time when order is undermined by flux and disorder, they entail a normative dislocation allowing for exceptional measures and for the bracketing off of crisis from normality, removing contingency from normality, and confining that done in crisis to crisis.

7. 5. Joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis : experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies

   Author : Rüdiger J Weiss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by chronic polyarticular synovial inflammation. Erosive joint destruction represents a major unsolved complication of RA. Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to obtain increased knowledge of joint destruction by using a multidisciplinary approach. READ MORE
