  2. 21. Experimental Results of a Load-Controlled Vertical Axis Marine Current Energy Converter

    Author : Johan Forslund; Mats Leijon; Karin Thomas; Jan Sundberg; Tom Blackmore; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Marine Current; Vertical Axis; Load Control; ; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the load control of a marine current energy converter using a vertical axis turbine mounted on a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The purpose of this thesis is to show the work done in the so far relatively uncharted territory of control systems for hydro kinetic energy conversion. READ MORE

  4. 22. Element transport in aquatic ecosystems – Modelling general and element-specific mechanisms

    Author : Lena Konovalenko; Clare Bradshaw; Ulrik Kautsky; Linda Kumblad; Dan Baird; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; radionuclides; elements; concentration ratio; bioaccumulation; biomagnification; fish; modelling; aquatic food web; ecosystem; Cs; Sr; environmental risk assessment; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Radionuclides are widely used in energy production and medical, military and industrial applications. Thus, understanding the behaviour of radionuclides which have been or may be released into ecosystems is important for human and environmental risk assessment. READ MORE

  5. 23. Molecular Diagnostics Using Volume-Amplified Magnetic Nanobeads : Towards the Development of a Novel Biosensor System

    Author : Mattias Strömberg; Maria Strømme; Peter Svedlindh; Mikkel Fougt Hansen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetic Biosensors; Ferrofluid; Biofunctionalisation; Ferrofluidic Aging; Interbead Interactions; Magnetic Nanobeads; Complex Magnetisation; Brownian Relaxation; Padlock Probes; Rolling Circle Amplification; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Micro- or nanometer sized magnetic particles (beads) currently have a vast range of life science applications in, for example, bioseparation techniques, cancer therapy, development of contrast agents and biosensing techniques. In the latter field, magnetic beads offer several unique advantages, including minimal background signals, physical and chemical stability and low manufacturing costs. READ MORE

  6. 24. Causes and consequences of individual variation in anti-predator traits

    Author : Kaj Hulthén; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal migration; partial migration; individual differences; predator; personality trait; phenotypic plasticity; inducible defence; mortality risk;

    Abstract : Predation imposes a potent evolutionary force on prey, moulding the evolution of traits and diversification of species, and can furthermore have powerful ecological consequences. We know that different species vary in how they cope with their natural enemies, and, consequently, a huge range of anti-predator defences are displayed in nature. READ MORE

  7. 25. Element transport in marine coastal ecosystems – modelling general and element-specific mechanisms

    Author : Lena Konovalenko; Clare Bradshaw; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Modelling; bioaccumulation; concentration ratio; radionuclides; marine foodweb.; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Understanding the behaviour of naturally-occurring and anthropogenically-derived radionuclides (isotopes) in the marine environment is important, because there is a need for their effective utilization either as in situ tracers or for industry, medical applications, the planning of waste-disposal facilities, and estimations of human and animal health risks. Radionuclides generally have the same chemical properties as their stable element analogues and thus show similar environmental behaviour and cycling to their stable counterparts. READ MORE
