  4. 2. Geological development of the East African coastal basin of Tanzania

    Author : Samson Mpanda; Ole Veibaeck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marine Geology; seismic methods; seismic stratigraphy; multichannel seismic recordings; tectonic development; Karoo; Mesozoic; Tertiary; East Africa; Tanzania; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; allmän och historisk geologi; General and Historical Geology;

    Abstract : The East African coastal basin of Tanzania, which is characterised by an extensional tectonic style, is located along the passive continental margin of the western Indian Ocean. The present study is concerned with the Mafia Island and the Mafia Channel which together form a subbasin within the north-south elongated coastal sedimentary basin of Tanzania. READ MORE

  5. 3. Material characterization for magnetically confined fusion : Surface analysis and method development

    Author : Petter Ström; Marek Rubel; Per Petersson; Thierry Loarer; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The dream of abundant clean energy has brought scientists and laypeople alike to ponder the possibilities of nuclear fusion since it was established as the energy source of the stars in 1939. Starting from the mid-twentieth century, significant effort has been put into overcoming the technological challenges related to the construction of a power plant, but initial optimism has faded somewhat due to a notable absence of practical outcomes.

  7. 5. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements

    Author : Charlotte Marchand; Hogland William; Hijri Mohamed; Bramryd Torleif; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Petroleum Hydrocarbon; Trace Elements; Gentle Soil Remediation Options; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon; Respirometry; Ecopile; Bacteria; Fungi; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

    Abstract : The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These pollutants are considered as the most toxic contaminants in the world due to their persistence in the environment, and the long range of toxicological effects for living beings. READ MORE
