5. 3. Just or Unjust : Assessment of rainfall-related flood damage in a Swedish context

   Author : Shifteh Mobini; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Equity; flood damage; pluvial flooding; damage claim;

   Abstract : Climate change has led to an increase in heavy summer rainfalls, and climate projections for Sweden indicate that there will be more sudden rainfall in the future. While the exact locations and time for this rainfall are unknown, it is known that there will be damages to buildings, cars, and people when the rainfall occurs. READ MORE

6. 4. Evolving the Methodology for Detection of Primary DNA Damage : Development, adaptation and assessment of the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay

   Author : Erik Bivehed; Björn Hellman; Hanna Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is one of the most important molecules in nature. It is the fundamental carrier of evolutionary information and constitutes the genetic blueprint of all living organisms. Being the sole source of information, it is vital for the cell to transmit the correct genetic information from generation to generation. READ MORE

7. 5. Assessment of Concrete Structures Including Corrosion and Cracks

   Author : Mattias Blomfors; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforced concrete; corrosion; nonlinear FE analysis; reinforcement bond; assessment; cracks;

   Abstract : Reinforced concrete (RC) structures constitute a major proportion of the built environment and society relies continuously on their service. Many of these structures were built in the era following the Second World War and are thus approaching the end of their intended service life. READ MORE
