2. 21. Turbulent Structure of the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Its Implications for the Inertial Dissipation Method

   Author : Anna Sjöblom; Jørgen Højstrup; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Meteorology; meteorologi;

   Abstract : In order to improve climate- and weather forecasting models, a better knowledge of the physical processes taking place in the lowest part of the atmosphere over the oceans is essential. In these models it is often assumed that the atmospheric boundary layer over sea behaves in the same way as that over land. READ MORE

4. 22. Human aspects on the evacuation of a passenger ship - passengers' and crew's capabilities and limitations to cope with a dangerous and demanding situation

   Author : Monica Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stress; passenger groups; reactions; passenger ships; group reactions; evacuation;

   Abstract : Todays evacuation systems and equipment are not adapted to realistic circumstances. The equipment is complicated, difficult and dangerous to handle. The equipment is furthermore tested and approved in limited weather conditions which make it more or less impossible to launch the equipment, if the weather conditions are too bad. READ MORE

5. 23. The social organization of energy efficiency in shipping: a practice-based study

   Author : Martin Viktorelius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Activity theory; Energy efficiency; Energy consumption; Knowing-in-practice; Shipping; Practice theory; Practice based studies; Energy management; Work;

   Abstract : The central research question explored in this study is how energy efficiency is organized onboard large merchant ships. The dominant techno-economical approach within energy research and policy, in general, and shipping research and policy, in particular, is reviewed and criticized as being too limited for understanding the challenges and opportunities related to the organization and management of energy efficiency in shipping companies.

6. 24. Structural and Functional Studies of De Novo Designed Peptides at Surfaces

   Author : Patrik Nygren; Bo Liedberg; Thomas Ederth; Martin Malmsten; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biofouling; vesicles; nanoparticles; peptide; peptide design; circular dichroism; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis deals with the structural and functional properties of peptides at surfaces. The interaction of peptides with surfaces is an ever so common occurrence in our every day life, from the bug squashed on the windshield of our car to the barnacle on our boat, and from the blood plasma used in the hospital to the proteins in our cells.

7. 25. Nanoparticles from shipping and road traffic

   Author : Olof Jonathan Westerlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanoparticles; Aerosols; Size distributions; Emissions; Plume processes; Shipping; Road traffic;

   Abstract : In the urban environment road traffic is the dominant source of aerosol particles while in coastal and harbour areas shipping is also a significant source. For shipping there are no direct regulations regarding particle emissions. READ MORE
