  2. 1. Borehole sealing with expandable buffer clays in HLW disposal : Lab-scale performance

    Author : Ting Yang; Jörn Kasbohm; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Two basically different multibarrier concepts for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) are the often cited KBS-3 V/H concepts, for isolating nuclear waste at 400-600 m depth and Very Deep Boreholes concepts (VDH) for placement at 2000-4000 m depth. Both make use of expandable clay as isolating medium of canisters with HLW and as backfill material in shafts and tunnels in repositories for safe disposal of such waste. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lab work in science education : Instruction, inscription, and the practical achievement of understanding

    Author : Oskar Lindwall; Berner Lindström; Tim Koschmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Lab work; science education; educational technology; classroom interaction; ethnomethodology; naturvetenskapliga laborationer; IT i utbildning; klassrumsstudier; etnometodologi; Education; Pedagogik;

    Abstract : Taking an analytical perspective founded on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, the four studies presented in this thesis provide detailed analyses of video recorded lab work in mechanics at secondary and university level. The investigated activities all build on educational design afforded by a technology called probeware. READ MORE

  5. 3. End-user activity-based service design in the built environment context : Exploring everyday life in KTH Live-in-Lab

    Author : Elena Malakhatka; Per Lundqvist; Marco Molinari; Shaun West; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; service design; human activity system; building system; service system; actors network analysis; living lab; sustainable building; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Building Service and Energy Systems; Installations- och energisystem;

    Abstract : The main goal of this thesis is to communicate the motivation, process, and result of the research project dedicated to exploring the topic of Service Design, based on end-user activities analysis in the built environment context. We have elected to use a KTH Live-in-Lab as a testbed in relation to the chosen living lab network of actors and stakeholders. READ MORE

  6. 4. Make It Easier : A psychological perspective on sustainable behavior change

    Author : Noah Linder; Stephan Barthel; Therese Lindahl; Robert Ljung; Patrik Sörqvist; Janne Hukkinen; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pro-environmental behavior; behavior change; intervention; habits; intentions; information; nudge; choice architecture; miljövänligt beteende; beteendeförändring; vanor; intentioner; information; nudge; valarkitektur; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : Human behavior is the cause of most environmental challenges we face today, and widespread behavioral change is urgently needed across actors and scales. Even though the public perception of the current ecological crisis has changed drastically in recent decades, a corresponding shift in behavior is lacking — unfortunately, mere belief in climate change is a poor predictor of taking action.

  7. 5. Towards Myosin Powered Lab-on-a-Chip Devices

    Author : Lasse ten Siethoff; Alf Månsson; Miklos Kellermayer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; myosin; actin; molecular motors; lab-on-a-chip; nanobiotechnology; bionanotechnology; diagnostics; nanowires; nanowire arrays; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Myosins are protein motors that use chemical energy in the form of adenosinetriphosphate to produce force and motion. These molecular motors might be usedto power transportation in Lab-on-a-chip devices where a series of laboratory tasks(e.g. separation, concentration and detection) are performed in one sequence on asmall chip.
