  2. 16. 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.

  4. 17. Developing Environmentally Friendly Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

    Author : Hanna Ellis; Gerrit Boschloo; Anders Hagfeldt; Erik Johansson; Aldo di Carlo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dye-sensitized solar cells; dye; cobalt; triphenylamine; titanium dioxide; aqueous; PEDOT; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Due to climate change and its effects, alternative renewable energy sources are needed in the future human society. In the work of this thesis, the Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) has been investigated and characterized. READ MORE

  5. 18. Electronic Structure and Film Morphology Studies of PTCDI on Metal/Semiconductor Surfaces

    Author : Christian Emanuelsson; Hanmin Zhang; Lars Johansson; Ellen Moons; Mats Ahmadi Götelid; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PTCDI; STM; LEED; XPS; UPS; NEXAFS; Organic Films; Semicondcutor Surfaces; Electronic Structure; Molecular Interactions; Film Morphology; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Organic semiconductors have received increasing attention over the last decades as potential alternatives for inorganic semiconductors. The properties of these films are highly dependent on their structural order. READ MORE

  6. 19. Experimental Investigations on Natural Gas-Diesel Dual Fuel Combustion

    Author : Pablo Garcia; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dual Fuel; Diesel; Natural Gas; Pilot Injection; Combustion Efficiency; Methane; Nitrogen Oxides; Lean operation; Ignition;

    Abstract : Natural gas has been traditionally applied in spark-ignited combustion engines due to similar combustion characteristics for methane gas and gasoline. However, spark ignition requires a low compression ratio to avoid knock problems and therefore, gas engines have lower efficiency than diesel engines. READ MORE

  7. 20. Real-Time Shading and Accurate Shadows Using GPGPU Techniques

    Author : Ola Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virtual shadow-maps; real time; transparency; shading; shadows; rendering; shadow volumes; GPGPU; GPU;

    Abstract : Over the last 10-15 years, computer graphics hardware has evolved at a tremendous pace, with an exponential growth in the number of transistors. This evolution has transformed the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) from an entirely fixed-function unit into a highly parallel general-purpose architecture that can be programmed using high-level programming languages.
