2. 21. Modeling aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic

   Author : Hannah Frostenberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mixed-phase clouds; ice nucleating particles; heterogeneous freezing; Arctic; LES-modeling; parameterization;

   Abstract : Clouds have a large impact on Earth’s energy balance, especially in the Arctic. Through their warming or cooling effect on the surface, clouds can play a critical role in the onset of melting and freezing of Arctic sea ice, which itself has a large effect on energy and moisture fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere.

4. 22. Proteomics and metabolomics in biological and medical applications

   Author : Liudmila Shiryaeva; Wolfgang P. Schröder; Pernilla Wikström; Peter Roepstroff; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 2D-DIGE; biomarkers; cold-acclimation; conifer; freezing tolerance; GC-MS; metabolomics; multiple hypothesis test; multivariate analysis; OPLS-DA; Picea obovata; plasma; prostate cancer; proteomics; ProteoMiner; Siberian spruce;

   Abstract : Biological processes in living organisms consist of a vast number of different molecular networks and interactions, which are complex and often hidden from our understanding. This work is focused on recovery of such details for two quite distant examples: acclimation to extreme freezing tolerance in Siberian spruce (Picea obovata) and detection of proteins associated with prostate cancer.

5. 23. Thermophysical Properties of Aqueous Solutions Used as Secondary Working Fluids

   Author : Åke Melinder; Björn Palm; Antero Aittomäki; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Secondary working fluids; secondary refrigerants; indirect systems; aqueous solutions; ice slurry; thermophysical properties; freezing point; density; viscosity; specific heat; thermal conductivity; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : Secondary working fluids (secondary refrigerants, heat transfer fluids, antifreezes, brines) have long been used in various indirect re-frigeration and heat pump systems. Aqueous solutions (water solu-tions) have long been used as single phase (liquid only) secondary working fluids for cooling in supermarkets, ice rinks, heat recovery systems, heat pumps and other applications.

6. 24. Toward Anti-icing and De-icing Surfaces : Effects of Surface Topography and Temperature

   Author : Golrokh Heydari; Per Claesson; Eric Tyrode; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anti-icing; topography; supercooled water; wetting hysteresis; superhydrophobic; contact angle; nucleation; freezing delay; de-icing; ice adhesion; hydration water; liquid-like layer; smooth; lubrication; anti-is; topografi; underkylt vatten; vätningshysteres; superhydrofob; kontaktvinkel; kärnbildning; avisning; isadhesion; hydrerat vatten; vätskeliknande skikt; smörjning; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Icing severely affects society, especially in the Nordic countries. Iceaccumulation can result in critical performance problems and safetyconcerns for instance in road, air and sea transportation, transmissionlines, marine and offshore structures, wind turbines and heat exchangers.

7. 25. Ice out of Fire : Ice and cloud condensation nucleation of aerosol particles emitted from controlled soot generation and combustion of renewable fuels

   Author : John Falk; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soot; BC; Immersion freezing; IN; INP; CCN; SPIN; CCNC; MiniCAST; Cold Stage; Cook Stove;

   Abstract : Aerosol particles, small solid or liquid particles suspended in a gas, are found everywhere in the atmosphere. Air pollution from such particles, mainly soot from combustion-derived activity is a leading cause of premature deaths in the world and have a large effect on the climate. READ MORE
