2. 1. Models for capturing the penetration of a diffusant concentration into rubber : Numerical analysis and simulation

   Author : Surendra Nepal; Adrian Muntean; Nadja Ray; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transport of diffusants; moving-boundary problem; finite element method; a priori and a posteriori error estimates; random walk method; two-scale coupled system; Matematik; Mathematics;

   Abstract : Understanding the transport of diffusants into rubber plays an important role in forecasting the material's durability. In this regard, we study different models, conduct numerical analysis, and present simulation results that predict the evolution of the penetration front of diffusants. READ MORE

4. 2. A moving boundary problem for capturing the penetration of diffusant concentration into rubbers : Modeling, simulation and analysis

   Author : Surendra Nepal; Adrian Muntean; Yosief Wondmagegne; Magnus Ögren; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Moving boundary problem; finite element method; a priori error estimate; a posteriori error estimate; order of convergence; diffusion of chemicals into rubber; swelling; Matematik; Mathematics;

   Abstract : We propose a moving-boundary scenario to model the penetration of diffusants into rubbers. Immobilizing the moving boundary by using the well-known Landau transformation transforms the original governing equations into new equations posed in a fixed domain. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving neonatal health care in Nepal

   Author : Olivia Brunell; Mats Målqvist; Anna Bergström; Uwe Ewald; Debra Jackson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; global health; quality improvement; neonatal health care; Nepal; neonatal mortality; essential newborn care; delayed cord clamping; skin-to-skin contact; KMC; early initiation of breastfeeding; breastfeeding; parent-infant closeness; satisfaction with care; provision of care; experience of care; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Hälso- och sjukvårdsforskning; Health Care Research;

   Abstract : Every year, millions of newborns die globally due to poor quality of care around the time of birth. The overall aim of this thesis was to inform and test design of quality improvement (QI) interventions in Nepal. READ MORE

7. 5. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in Nepal

   Author : Dilip Khatiwada; Semida Silveira; Andrew Martin; Björn Karlsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioethanol; sustainability; life cycle assessment; net energy values; greenhouse gas GHG balances; sustainable development; least developed countries LDCs ; Nepal; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik; Climatology; Klimatologi;

   Abstract : Access to modern energy services derived from renewable sources is a prerequisite, not only for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development, but also for energy security and climate change mitigation. The least developed countries (LDCs) primarily use traditional biomass and have little access to commercial energy sources. READ MORE
