  2. 1. Stochastic analysis of fluid flow and tracer pathways in crystalline fracture networks

    Author : Andrew Frampton; Vladimir Cvetkovic; Allen Shapiro; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Groundwater; Fractured media; Transport; Retention; Macrodispersion; Lagrangian formulation; Stochastic modelling; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Hydrology; Hydrologi; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Understanding groundwater flow systems and how these control transport is an essential part in assessing the suitability of subsurface environments as hosts for storage of toxic waste. Therefore it is important to be able to integrate knowledge obtained from field characterisation of the subsurface with methods which can be used to evaluate and predict possible impact on surrounding environments.

  4. 2. Extensions in Flux : An Essay on Vagueness and Context Sensitivity

    Author : Jonas Åkerman; Peter Pagin; Diana Raffman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; vagueness; context sensitivity; contextualism; weak tolerance; sorites paradox; forced march; equivocation; indexicals; Fara; Raffman; Shapiro; Soames; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : The extensions of vague predicates like ‘is bald’, ‘is tall’, and ‘is a heap’ apparently lack sharp boundaries, and this makes such predicates susceptible to soritical reasoning, i.e. reasoning that leads to some version of the notorious sorites paradox. READ MORE

  5. 3. Discrete aperiodically ordered structures in low dimensions

    Author : Bruno Lindquist; Jens Juul Rasmussen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with discrete models for one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) aperiodic systems such as quasicrystals and aperiodic superlattices. Various model systems are investigated using different forms of the tight-binding (TB) approximation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Delocalization in nonperiodic systems

    Author : Lars Kroon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The localization properties of non-interacting linear excitations in one-dimensional aperiodically ordered structures are investigated from a theoretical point of view. The models used have various relevance for real systems, like quasicrystals, photonic crystals, and deterministic aperiodic superlattices. READ MORE

  7. 5. Compression analysis as a tool for technical characterization and classification of pharmaceutical powders

    Author : Josefina Nordström; Göran Alderborn; Maria Strömme; Katharina Picker-Freyer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; compaction; compression; granules; Kawakita; mechanical properties; particles; PAT; pharmaceutical powders; tablets; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci;

    Abstract : There are today strong incentives for an increased understanding of material properties and manufacturing processes to facilitate the development of new technologies in the pharmaceutical industry. The purpose of this thesis was to suggest methods requiring a low sample amount for characterization of technical properties of powders. READ MORE
