  6. 4. Hybrid nanoadsorbents for extraction and separation of rare earth elements in solution

    Author : Elizabeth Polido Legaria; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Rare Earth Elements (REE) are a group of 17 metals (those known as lanthanides plus Ytrium and Scandium), which are increasingly important for many emerging modern applications. This work is focused on the development of high performance new magnetic silica based nanoadsorbents which are surface functionalized for efficient uptake and separation of REE in solution.

  7. 5. Bilateral hearing aids for bilaterally hearing-impaired persons : always the best choice?

    Author : Susanne Köbler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : bilateral hearing aids; binaural hearing; speech-in-noise; dichotic tests; binaural masking level difference;

    Abstract : The most logical solution if a person has a hearing impairment on both ears, seems to be bilateral bearing aid amplification in both ears. Numerous studies have shown the advantages of this fitting strategy. However, there were always some individuals not benefiting from bilateral hearing aids; until recently a neglected group of persons. READ MORE
