  4. 12. Residual Trapping in Geological Storage of CO2 : Determination from Field Experiments and Data Analysis Using Numerical Modeling

    Author : Saba Joodaki; Auli Niemi; Zhibing Yang; Jonathan Ennis-King; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Residual trapping; CO2 geological storage; Dissolution trapping; Field experiment; numerical modeling; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

    Abstract : Geological storage of CO2 in deep saline aquifers is one of the methods to mitigate the release of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. The efficiency of this solution can be improved by better understanding of the relevant trapping processes, as well as by improving available injection techniques and developing tools for more accurate site characterization.

  5. 13. Social Dilemmas: The Role of Incentives, Norms and Institutions

    Author : Marcela Ibanez Diaz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; portfolio model of crime; norms of behavior; choice experiment; field experiment; public goods; income heterogeneity; illegal drugs; Colombia;

    Abstract : The subject of this dissertation is social dilemmas. In a social dilemma situation, there is a clear incentive not to cooperate. However, if nobody cooperates, then everybody is worse off than if they had cooperated. The question we try to answer in this dissertation is what prevents non-cooperation. READ MORE

  6. 14. Essays on antibiotics use: Nudges, preferences & welfare benefits

    Author : Linnea Wickström Östervall; Jakob Svensson; Astri Muren; Kjetil Bjorvatn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; field experiment; nudge; reminder; common resources; antibiotics use; resistance; altruism; other-regarding preferences; time preferences; social security; temporary parental leave; natural experiment; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : The stock of effective antibiotics can be seen as a common resource. Depletion of this potentially renewable, but currently finite, resource through the development of resistance poses an important policy problem. Prudent use can delay the spread of resistance. It is hence interesting to study factors that affect use and overuse of antibiotics. READ MORE

  7. 15. Railway tread braking temperatures - Numerical simulation and experimental studies

    Author : Shahab Teimourimanesh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway tread braking; finite element analysis; railway wheels; rail chill; hot spots; frictional heating; heat partitioning; metro; field experiment; rig experiment;

    Abstract : Tread (block) braking is still one of the most common braking systems on railway vehicles. The action is carried out by pressing brake blocks against the tread of a wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE
