  2. 1. Alkali Metals and Tar in Biomass Thermochemical Conversion: Development and Application of Online Measurement Techniques

    Author : Dan Gall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tar; Alkali Metals; Biomass; Thermochemical conversion; Online Measurements.;

    Abstract : Biomass is a renewable resource that can substitute the fossil-based products we depend on today. However, the conversion techniques require further improvement in order to be competitive with the traditional industry. READ MORE

  4. 2. Total St Gall : Medieval Monastery as a Disciplinary Institution

    Author : Wojtek Jezierski; Olle Ferm; Gabriela Bjarne Larsson; Hans Jacob Orning; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ‘total institution’; Casus sancti Galli; St Gall; Ekkehard IV; Erving Goffman; Michel Foucault; power relations; stigma; subjectivity; Benedictine monasticism; early Middle Ages; Asylums; monastery; Church history; Kyrkohistoria; Sociology; Sociologi; historia; History;

    Abstract : How much was a medieval monastery reminiscent of a modern prison? Or insane asylum? And if it was in the least - what can such a metaphor tell us about power relations structuring the life of medieval monks?The purpose of this compilation thesis (sammanläggningsavhandling) is to render explicit and analyze relations of power and modes of control comprising the social tissue of early medieval Benedictine monasteries. By bringing up the examples of tenth- and eleventh-century monasteries of St Gall, Fulda, and Bury St Edmunds, this thesis seeks to understand what power was in medieval monasteries, how and between whom it was exercised, what and how it affected in terms of collective and individual identity.

  5. 3. Growth and Phase Stability Studies of Epitaxial Sc-Al-N and Ti-Al-N Thin Films

    Author : Carina Höglund; Lars Hultman; Jens Birch; Daniel Gall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : ¨This Thesis treats the growth and characterization of ternary transition metal nitride thin films. The aim is to probe deep into the Ti-Al-N system and to explore novel Sc-Al-N compounds. Thin films were epitaxially grown by reactive dual magnetron sputtering from elemental targets onto single-crystal substrates. READ MORE

  6. 4. Design of Transition-Metal Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectrics

    Author : Sit Kerdsongpanya; Per Eklund; Björn Alling; Gunilla Wingqvist; Lars Hultman; Daniel Gall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Thermoelectric devices are one of the promising energy harvesting technologies, because of their ability to convert heat (temperature gradient) to electricity by the Seebeck effect. Furthermore, thermoelectric devices can be used for cooling or heating by the inverse effect (Peltier effect). READ MORE

  7. 5. Toughness Enhancement in Hard Single-Crystal Transition-Metal Nitrides : V-Mo-N and V-W-N Alloys

    Author : Hanna Kindlund; Lars Hultman; Jens Birch; Daniel Gall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transition-metal nitrides are known for their high hardness, good wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and chemical inertness. Because of these properties, they are extensively used in many industrial applications, notably as protective wear, erosion, and scratch resistant coatings, which are often subjected to high thermo-mechanical stresses.
