   Author : Daniel Kjellander; Marlene Johansson Falck; Maria Rosenberg; Suzanne Kemmer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; lexical blending; data collection methodology; corpus-based investigation; ambiguity; figurativity; cognitive linguistics; teleskopord; datainsamlingsmetod; korpusundersökning; mångtydighet; figurativitet; kognitiv lingvistik; engelska; English; language studies; språkvetenskap; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : The present study investigates the word formation process of lexical blending in the context of written US web news between January 2010–March 2018. The study has two interrelated aims. First, it aims to develop a transparent, rigid, and replicable method of data collection. READ MORE

5. 3. Electronic Waste Plastics Characterisation and Recycling by Melt-processing

   Author : Erik Stenvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; melt-blending; WEEE; ternary polymer blend; processing conditions; plastics recycling; composition analysis; e-waste;

   Abstract : Melt-processing of blended plastics from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a method to facilitate mechanical recycling, and this might improve the recycling conditions and increase the amounts of plastics being recycled. To ensure the quality of melt-blended plastic waste, it is essential to know the composition of the incoming material and then possibly improve the compatibility between the different polymer phases.

6. 4. Exploring synergies between the palm oil industry and bioenergy production in Indonesia

   Author : Fumi Harahap; Semida Silveira; Dilip Khatiwada; José Roberto Moreira; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; palm oil industry; bioenergy; resource efficiency; sustainability; land allocation; palm oil biomass; biorefinery; policy coherence analysis; techno-economic analysis; spatio-temporal optimisation model; BeWhere Indonesia; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : Climate change along with increasing demand for food and fuel call for sustainable use of natural resources. One way to address these concerns is through efficient use of resources, which is also vital for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. READ MORE

7. 5. Local Effects On Icing Forecasts for Wind Power In Cold Climate

   Author : Erik Janzon; Anna Rutgersson; Johan Arnqvist; Metodija Shapkalijevski; Heiner Körnich; Ebba Dellwik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis will examine the local effects of land cover on icing forecasts. In Paper I, a single column model was used to test the sensitivity of icing forecasts to land cover fraction. Here, the ice accretion forecast was found to be highly sensitive to the wind magnitude response to the surface roughness. READ MORE
