  2. 16. Methodologies to assess the fate of polar organic compounds in aquatic environments

    Author : Jörgen Magnér; Tomas Alsberg; Dag Broman; Jan-Åke Jönsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Passive equilibrium sampler; Absorbent; Polar organic compounds; Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; Partitioning coefficient; Fulvic acid; Sediment; PEVAC; Bag-SPE; Solid phase extraction; Pharmaceuticals; Wastewater; Sea water; UPLC-QToF; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Polar organic compounds (POCs) are chemicals with polar functional groups in their structure. The functional groups make the compounds hydrophilic and less prone to partition with biota. However, the knowledge of their fate is limited due to difficulties associated with their measurements.

  4. 17. In silico methods to prioritize chemicals with high exposure potential

    Author : Efstathios Reppas Chrysovitsinos; Matthew MacLeod; Anna Sobek; Michael Matthies; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free energy relationship; solvation parameters; polymers; materials; partitioning; octanol; Arctic contaminants; AMAP; POPs; Stockholm Convention; vPvB; REACH; OECD; QSAR; planetary boundaries; persistence; bioaccumulation; long-range transport; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Chemicals offer a wide range of desired functions and are used in a variety of consumer goods and industrial sectors. The number of individual synthetic organic chemicals produced and the total global chemical production volume are increasing. READ MORE

  5. 18. Water, Heat and Solute processes in Seasonally frozen Soils : Experimental and Modeling Study

    Author : Mousong Wu; Per-Erik Jansson; Jiesheng Huang; Klas Hansson; David Gustafsson; Nicholas Jarvis; KTH; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; frozen soil; water-heat-solute transport; coupled effects; water and energy balance; uncertainties; 冻土；水热盐运移；耦合关系；水热平衡；不确定性; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : Soil freezing and thawing is of importance in transport of water, heat and solute, which has coupled effects. Solute type and solute content in frozen soil could influence the osmotic potential of frozen soil and decrease freezing point, resulting in differences in soil freezing characteristic curves under various solute conditions.

  6. 19. On-farm agrohydrological analysis of the Sahelian yield crisis : rainfall partitioning, soil nutrients and water use efficiency of pearl millet

    Author : Johan Rockström; Jim Wallace; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Natural Resources Management; naturresurshushållning;

    Abstract : Sub-Saharan Africa is presently experiencing a steadily aggravated food security crisis. This crisis is a result of a rapidly growing population combined with insignificant yield increases of the major cereal crops maize, millet and sorghum, during the last decades. READ MORE

  7. 20. Evaporation and Heat-flux Aggregation in Heterogeneous Boreal Landscapes

    Author : Tony Persson; Sven Halldin; Dimitris Melas; Deliang Chen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; land-surface processes; heterogeneity; surface fluxes; soil-water content; high latitudes; snow; lakes; climate; mesoscale model; NOPEX; WINTEX; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : The boreal forests represent 8 % of all forested areas on the earth and have a significant role in the control of greenhouse gases and an impact on global climate change. The main objective of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how evaporation and heat-flux processes in the boreal forest zone are affecting the regional and global climate. READ MORE
