  2. 1. Atmospheric Species and Spectral Radiation in Terrestrial Exoplanets : Implications for Astrobiology

    Author : Samuel Konatham; Javier Martin-Torres; María-Paz Zorzano Mier; Akos Kereszturi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Exoplanets; Atmospheres; Habitability; Human vision; Scotopic vision; Photopic vision; Spectral radaition; Atmosfärsvetenskap; Atmospheric science;

    Abstract : The physical properties of the planets and their parent stars are fundamental in the composition of atmospheres and radiative environments, which fundamentally determine their surface temperature and habitability. The atmospheric composition and radiation play a vital role in the emergence of life. READ MORE

  4. 2. A planetary chamber to investigate the thermal and water cycle on Mars

    Author : Abhilash Vakkada Ramachandran; María-Paz Zorzano; Javier Martin-Torres; Akos Kereszturi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mars; space chamber; ISRU; water cycle simulation; pure liquid water; habitability; heat transfer; Atmospheric science; Atmosfärsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The water processes that affect the upper layers of the surface of Mars are not yet fully understood. Describing the processes that may induce changes in the water content ofthe surface is critical to determine the present-day habitability of the Martian surface,understand the atmospheric water cycle, and estimate the efficiency of future water extraction procedures from the regolith for In-Situ-Resource-Utilization (ISRU).

  5. 3. Astrophysical impacts on habitable planetary systems

    Author : Giorgi Kokaia; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Finding life on a planet other than the Earth would easily be one of the greatest discoveries of all time, particularly so if it is found outside our Solar System. To do so, we must understand the conditions required for life to emerge and develop. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ergonomics: An uncharted route to improved overall systems performance in shipping

    Author : Cecilia Österman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ergonomics; human factors; quality; safety.; productivity; shipping; efficiency;

    Abstract : Continuously, improved design of hull, propulsion and cargo handling systems has increased speed, capacity and reliability of sea transports. Simultaneously, efforts have been made to perfect crew size and composition in order to optimize operations costs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Unsettled City: Neoliberal redevelopment, state crisis, slum resettlement & biopolitical struggle in Mumbai

    Author : Rishi Jha; Social utsatthet och ojämlikhet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Urban redevelopment; Dispossession; Governmentality; Bio-necro-politics; Bureaucracy; Slum; Resettlement; Mumbai;

    Abstract : This dissertation concerns capitalist urban redevelopment and the government of urban housing poverty. It examines the ways urban redevelopment regimes shape resettlements and governance of urban populations in Mumbai. READ MORE
