2. 1. Fate of Cu, Cr, As and some other trace elements during combustion of recovered waste fuels

   Author : Karin Lundholm; Anders Nordin; Britt-Marie Steenari; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; combustion; chemical equilibrium model calculations; trace elements; impregnated wood; waste; thermodynamic data; Cu; Cr; As; Other chemistry; Övrig kemi;

   Abstract : The increased use of biomass and recovered waste fuels in favor of fossil fuels for heat and power production is an important step towards a sustainable future. Combustion of waste fuels also offers several advantages over traditional landfilling, such as substantial volume reduction, detoxification of pathological wastes, and reduction of toxic leaches and greenhouse gas (methane) formation from landfills.

   Abstract : Efficient waste management enables the protection of human health, reducing environmental pollution, saving of natural resources, and achieving sustainable and profitable management of energy. In many countries, the general guidelines for waste management are set by national or local waste management plans. READ MORE

6. 4. Systems Analysis of the Protein Secretory Pathway in Yeast and Human Cells

   Author : Amir Feizi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein production; flux balance analysis; biopharmaceutical; secretory pathway: secretome; recombinant protein; genome-scale modeling; systems biology;

   Abstract : The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, later in nineteen century the cell theory was developed as all organisms are composed of one or more cells. Since then, many tools and experimental methods have been developed to dissect and characterize the cell components which resulted in established solid scientific fields such as biochemistry, molecular cell biology and genetics.

7. 5. Assessment of existing and potential developments of district-heating systems

   Author : Elsa Fahlén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biofuel; external costs; combined heat and power; socio-economic cost-effectiveness; district heating; ExternE; social costs; MARTES; bio transport fuel; biomass gasification;

   Abstract : District heating (DH) may play an important role for achieving the EU goal of a secure, competitive and sustainable energy supply. DH benefits from the possibilities of utilising local resources such as municipal solid waste and other low-quality fuels, as well as low-cost waste heat from industries and from combined heat and power plants (CHP).
