  2. 1. Modelling calving and sliding of Svalbard outlet glaciers : Spatio-temporal changes and interactions

    Author : Dorothée Vallot; Rickard Pettersson; Veijo Pohjola; Ken Mattsson; Tómas Jóhannesson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cryospheric science; glacier modelling; time-lapse imagery; undercutting; sliding inversion; discrete particle model; calving model; subglacial hydrology; sliding law; automatic detection method; calving events size and frequency; ocean interaction; melt water runoff; ice dynamics; ice flow model; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot naturgeografi; Earth Science with specialization in Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Future sea level rise associated to global warming is one of the greatest societal and environmental challenges of tomorrow. A large part of the contribution comes from glaciers and ice sheets discharging ice and meltwater into the ocean and the recent worldwide increase is worrying. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mathematical and Physical Simulations of BOF Converters

    Author : Xiaobin Zhou; Mikael Ersson; Pär Jönsson; Hans-Jürgen Odenthal; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BOF; physical model; mathematical model; mixing time; kinetic enregy; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to develop mathematical models to explore the mixing and its related phenomena in converter bath. Specifically, first, a mathematical model of a physical model converter, which was scaled down to 1/6th of a 30 t vessel, was developed in this study. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dispersion and Transformation of Traffic Exhaust Particles in the Urban Atmosphere

    Author : Matthias Ketzel; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; condensation; deposition; dilution; particle size distribution; plume model; street canyon; traffic pollution; urban environment; turbulence; aerosol dynamics modelling; coagulation; Physics; Fysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Ketzel;

    Abstract : Ultrafine particles, their sources and fate in the atmosphere are currently key issues in atmospheric research owing to concern about their effects on human health and global climate. Traffic emissions are a dominating source of ultrafine particles, especially in urban areas. READ MORE

  6. 4. Electrosurgical plasma-mediated ablation for application in dermal wound and cartilage debridement - Biochemical, microbiological and clinical effects

    Author : Henrik H. Sönnergren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ablation techniques; aerosol; antibacterial; arthroscopy; bacterial spread; bactericidal; bipolar radiofrequency; Candida albicans; cartilage; Coblation; debridement; electrosurgery; Escherichia coli; hydrosurgery; plume; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Staphyloccus aureus; Streptococcus pyogenes;

    Abstract : The state of matter known as plasma has in the latest decades been investigated within different areas of medical treatment. The work presented in this thesis has focused on a specific type of plasma-based electrosurgical treatment modality (Coblation®) and its biochemical, microbiological and clinical effects on treatment of cartilage and of dermal wounds.

  7. 5. U-Pb baddeleyite geochronology of Precambrian mafic dyke swarms and complexes in southern Africa - regional scale extensional events and the origin of the Bushveld Complex

    Author : Johan Olsson; Berggrundsgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; U-Pb TIMS geochronology; geochemistry; baddeleyite; mafic dyke swarms; mantle plume; Bushveld Complex; Kaapvaal Craton; Zimbabwe Craton; Archean; Proterozoic;

    Abstract : Dolerite dykes are formed when iron- and magnesium-rich (mafic) mantle-derived magmas ascend through the lithosphere (upper part of the mantle) and crystallize as ‘hydro-fractures’ within the crust. Dykes may exist in great numbers to form dyke swarms (linear or radiating), which can be linked to time periods of continental break-up, or attempted break-up events, associated with voluminous volcanism.
