  2. 6. Ambiguity at work : lexical blends in an American English web news context

    Author : Daniel Kjellander; Marlene Johansson Falck; Maria Rosenberg; Suzanne Kemmer; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; lexical blending; data collection methodology; corpus-based investigation; ambiguity; figurativity; cognitive linguistics; teleskopord; datainsamlingsmetod; korpusundersökning; mångtydighet; figurativitet; kognitiv lingvistik; engelska; English; language studies; språkvetenskap; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Abstract : The present study investigates the word formation process of lexical blending in the context of written US web news between January 2010–March 2018. The study has two interrelated aims. First, it aims to develop a transparent, rigid, and replicable method of data collection. READ MORE

  4. 7. Electronic Waste Plastics Characterisation and Recycling by Melt-processing

    Author : Erik Stenvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; melt-blending; WEEE; ternary polymer blend; processing conditions; plastics recycling; composition analysis; e-waste;

    Abstract : Melt-processing of blended plastics from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a method to facilitate mechanical recycling, and this might improve the recycling conditions and increase the amounts of plastics being recycled. To ensure the quality of melt-blended plastic waste, it is essential to know the composition of the incoming material and then possibly improve the compatibility between the different polymer phases.

  5. 8. Decision support for complex planning challenges - Combining expert systems, engineering-oriented modeling, machine learning, information theory, and optimization technology

    Author : Larry M. Deschaine; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optimization; energy; model mixing; analytic hierarchy processes; data modelling engineering-oriented modelling; environmental; and MEC; UXO; model blending; Decision analysis; machine learning;

    Abstract : This thesis develops an approach for addressing complex industrial planning challenges. The approach provides advice to select and blend modeling techniques that produce implementable optimal solutions. Industrial applications demonstrate its effectiveness. READ MORE

  6. 9. Co-disposal of waste rock and lignite fly ash to mitigate the environmental impact of coal mining

    Author : Asif Qureshi; Björn Öhlander; Christian Maurice; Thomas Pabst; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acid mine drainage AMD ; coal mine waste rocks; coal fly ash; co-disposal; mixing blending; dry-cover; prevention neutralisation; Tillämpad geokemi; Applied Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Waste rocks (WRs) from coal mining and fly ash (FA) from coal combustion were studied to determine the potential of the WRs to generate AMD, FAs to neutralise it and estimate their impacts on environment. The ultimate goal was to develop a methodology based on co-disposal to mitigate the environmental problems associated to both wastes. READ MORE
