1. Hygroscopic Growth of Atmospheric Aerosol Particles and Its Relation to Nucleation Scavenging in Clouds
Abstract : Aerosol particles in the atmosphere are important in several aspects. Some major aerosol constituents that are deposited in ecosystems are acidic or fertilisers and some minor or trace constituents are toxic. READ MORE

2. Hygroscopic Properties of Atmospheric Aerosol Particles in Various Environments
Abstract : Atmospheric aerosol particles affect our living environment in many ways. Their effects are influenced by the interaction between the aerosol particles and the ubiquitous water vapour. The number-size distribution is a primary important parameter for aerosol particles and can be measured using the differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS). READ MORE

3. Hygroscopic Properties of Aerosols from Open-Air Burning and Controlled Combustion of Biomass
Abstract : The major uncertainty in predicting the influence of human activities on global climate change is the effect of aerosols. Two physical properties of aerosols largely controlling their influence on climate are the particle number size distribution and the interaction of the particles with the surrounding water vapor.

4. Fine and Ultrafine Particles from Combustion Sources - Investigations with In-situ Techniques
Abstract : Fine airborne particles are associated with adverse health effects in the human population. The aim of this research was to develop and evaluate methods for in-situ characterisation of fine and ultrafine particles and to determine their deposition in the human airways. READ MORE

5. Fracture behaviour of Green Wood (Pinus Sylvestris L.) : a composite materials approach
Abstract : The fracture behaviour of green wood has been investigated using a composite materials approach. Through fracture experiments on miniature specimens, it was found that drying of wood leads to damage not only on the macro-level but also at the scale of the cell wall. READ MORE
