  4. 22. 2D and 3D Seismic Surveying at the CO2SINK Project Site, Ketzin, Germany: The Potential for Imaging the Shallow Subsurface

    Author : Sawasdee Yordkayhun; Christopher Juhlin; Charlotte Krawczyk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inversion; Traveltime tomography; 3D seismic surveys; Seismic velocity; Seismic source; CO2SINK project; Geophysics; Geofysik;

    Abstract : Seismic traveltime inversion, traveltime tomography and seismic reflection techniques have been applied for two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) data acquired in conjunction with site characterization and monitoring aspects at a carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage site at Ketzin, Germany (the CO2SINK project). Conventional seismic methods that focused on investigating the CO2 storage and caprock formations showed a poor or no image of the upper 150 m. READ MORE

  6. 24. In-situ assessment of timber structures - Assessment methods and case studies

    Author : Thomas Lechner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-destructive testing NDT ; historical structures; density; In-situ assessment; timber structures; mechanical properties; assessment methods; X-ray;

    Abstract : In the assessment of timber structures, diagnostic investigations with reference to the condition and structural performance of these structures are necessary and often require appropriate health monitoring techniques. This thesis covers four aspects within the research area of the in-situ assessment of timber structures based on scientific knowledge and guidelines to perform assessment of existing timber structures:IDetermination of density of wood with portable X-rayThe mechanical performance of timber is often strongly related to the density of wood.

  7. 25. Missed opportunities : prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Uganda

    Author : Elin C Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HIV; prevention of mother-to-child transmission PMTCT ; HIV testing; access; Uganda; Health and Demographic Surveillance Site HDSS ;

    Abstract : Background: Despite the existence of effective interventions such as prophylactic antiretroviral medicines, mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV is still a major reason for HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. Antenatal care (ANC) facilities are the main location for implementing prevention of MTCT (PMTCT) programmes and HIV testing is the first step in PMTCT. READ MORE
