1. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis Methods : with Applications to a Road Traffic Emission Model
Abstract : There is always a need to study the properties of complex input–output systems, properties that may be very difficult to determine. Two such properties are the output’s sensitivity to changes in the inputs and the output’s uncertainty if the inputs are uncertain. READ MORE

2. Respiratory and cardiovascular effects of exposure to oxidative air pollutants
Abstract : Background: The negative effects of air pollution on morbidity and mortality have been known since the mid 20th century. The two most well known examples are the Meuse Valley disaster in the 1930’ies and the London black fog in December 1952. READ MORE

3. Study and Development of Techniques to Improve Engine Stability and Reduce Emissions from Natural Gas Engines
Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to find ways to improve combustion and reduce emissions from supercharged natural gas engines. In-cylinder flow measurements were made with laser doppler velocimetry, LDV, heat release was calculated from cylinder pressures and emissions were measured at various locations. READ MORE

4. Automatic Reduction Procedures for Chemical Mechanisms in Reactive Systems
Abstract : To deal with complex physical and chemical processes in reactive systems, such as combustion processes, it is necessary to find methods that simplify modelling in such a way that it becomes both more comprehensible and practically useful. In the work reported here a method for automatically reducing chemical reaction mechanisms has been developed for use in computer simulations of various combustion systems. READ MORE

5. Selectivity Enhancement of Gas Sensitive Field Effect Transistors by Dynamic Operation
Abstract : Gas sensitive field effect transistors based on silicon carbide, SiC-FETs, have been applied to various applications mainly in the area of exhaust and combustion monitoring. So far, these sensors have normally been operated at constant temperatures and adaptations to specific applications have been done by material and transducer platform optimization. READ MORE
