  2. 1. Studies on the competitiveness of wood : - market segmentation and customer need assessments

    Author : Ragnar Jonsson; Roger Cooper; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : wood; building material; material substitution; end-consumer; floorcovering; customer needs; FORESTRY; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES and LANDSCAPE PLANNING; SKOGS- och JORDBRUKSVETENSKAP samt LANDSKAPSPLANERING;

    Abstract : Over the last decades, wood has encountered increasing competition from other building materials. Hence, it is relevant to study the underlying factors of material substitution. The market for repair and remodelling (R&R) is growing in importance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Properties in New Complex Perovskite-Related Materials, a Matter of Composition and Structure

    Author : Samrand Shafeie; Gunnar Svensson; Jekabs Grins; John T. S. Irvine; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perovskite; XANES; XRPD; NPD; TEC; TEM; SEM; TGA; SAED; HREM; thermal expansion; Seebeck coefficient; electronic conductivity; SOFC materials; magnetic susceptibility; Perovskit; XANES; XRPD; NPD; TEC; TEM; SEM; TGA; SAED; HREM; termisk expansion; Seebeck koefficient; elektrisk ledningsförmåga; SOFC material; magnetiska egenskaper; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : This PhD thesis presents investigations of perovskite-related compounds in systems of interest for applications in components in solid oxide fuel cells. The compound compositions derive from substitutions in the parent compounds LaCoO3, LaCrO3 and SrFeO3. READ MORE

    Abstract : Reduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the mobility issues persist. READ MORE

  6. 4. Carbon Balance Implications of Forest Biomass Production Potential

    Author : Bishnu Chandra Poudel; Inga Carlman; Johan Bergh; Thomas Lundmark; Roger Sathre; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; forest management; silviculture; clear-cut forestry; continuous-cover forestry; substitution; total carbon; climate benefit; climate change; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Forests in boreal and temperate forest-ecosystems have importance for carbonbalance since they sequester large amount of atmospheric carbon by uptake ofcarbon-dioxide during photosynthesis, and transfer and store carbon in the forestecosystem. Forest material can be used for bio-fuel purposes and substitute fossilfuels, and supply wood products, which can replace carbon-and-energy-intensivematerials. READ MORE

  7. 5. Synthesis and Characterization of New Inorganic Thermoelectric Materials

    Author : Daniel Cederkrantz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermal conductivity.; Ba8Ga16Ge30; Seebeck coefficient; nanoinclusions; Thermoelectricity; waste heat recovery; clathrates; thermal stability; electrical resistance; Mg2Si; substitution; semiconductors;

    Abstract : With thermoelectric materials it is possible to convert a difference in temperature into electrical energy. This can be utilized for a more efficient use of available energy, eg. by converting waste heat from a combustion process. READ MORE
