  2. 21. Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Bainitic Steel

    Author : Adam Ståhlkrantz; Annika Borgenstam; Peter Hedström; Niklas Sarius; Joacim Hagström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bainite; Austempering; Low alloyed steel; Tempering; Variant pairing; Material characterization; Metallurgical process science; Metallurgisk processvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : For material design it is important to understand and establish the relations between the processing of the steel, the resulting microstructure and how that correlate to the properties of the steel. The main focus of this thesis has been to increase this knowledge for low alloy bainitic steels with medium to high carbon content. READ MORE

  4. 22. On thermodynamic and kinetic constraints in autotrophic metabolism

    Author : Markus Janasch; Elton P. Hudson; Bas Teusink; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; autotrophic metabolism; cyanobacteria; microbial metabolic engineering; computational systems biology; biochemical thermodynamics; kinetic modelling; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Earth has entered a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, defined by humanity’s impact on the environment with increased emissions of CO2 due to burning of fossil resource as a major contributor. To ensure a sustainable future, humanity has to move towards a circular economy, where released CO2 is re-captured and turned into resources. READ MORE

  5. 23. Thermophysical Modelling and Mechanical Stability of Cometary Nuclei

    Author : Björn Davidsson; Dina Prialnik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; Comets; Tidal physics; Light scattering; Radiative transfer; Thermophysics; Gas kinetics; Non-gravitational forces; Astronomi; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik; Theoretical Astrophysics; teoretisk astrofysik;

    Abstract : Comets are the most primordial and least evolved bodies in the Solar System. As such, they are unique sources of information regarding the early history of the Solar System. However, little is known about cometary nuclei since they are very difficult to observe due to the obscuring coma. READ MORE

  6. 24. On the Thermodynamic Solvation of Biomolecules in Solution

    Author : Stefan Hervö Hansen; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solubility; Solvation; Aggregation; Statistical thermodynamics; Molecular dynamics; Monte Carlo simulations; Free energy calculations; Energy-representation theory of solvation; Proteins; Salt bridges; Caffeine;

    Abstract : The topic solvation thermodynamics is an important aspect of chemistry, dealing with the effects introduced by solvents onto solutes. In particular, biological systems are highly heterogeneous in their choice of solvent typically characterized by either being in a polar or non-polar environment. READ MORE

  7. 25. Piezoelectricity, Phase Stability, and Surface Diffusion in Multicomponent Nitrides

    Author : Christopher Tholander; Björn Alling; Lars Hultman; Ferenc Tasnádi; Liverius Lymperakis; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The last hundred years have been full of scientific discoveries leading to technological advances, such as, computers, smart phones, etc. Most of the advances would not have been possible without new discoveries within the vast field of materials science. READ MORE
