1. Thermodynamic properties of humid air and their application in advanced power generation cycles
Abstract : Water or steam is added into the working fluid (often air) in gas turbines to improve the performance of gas turbine cycles. A typical application is the humidified gas turbine that has the potential to give high efficiencies, high specific power output, low emissions and low specific investment. READ MORE

2. Evaporative Cycles - in Theori and in Practise
Abstract : The thesis is based on applied research, rather closed to industrial development. The developed simulation model, for pre-design of evaporative gas turbine cycles, has been validated in a 600 kW pilot plant and in rebuilt turbo-charged diesel engines. READ MORE

3. Influence of water conditions on growth and mineral nutrient uptake of native plants on clacareous soil
Abstract : The studies presented in Papers I to IV illustrate the importance of soil moisture in soil solution chemistry and response of native plants to the changes induced by change in moisture regime. With the help of glasshouse experiments I tried to study the influence of different treatments of soil moisture conditions on the mineral uptake by native plants of calcareous soil. READ MORE

4. Ice Sheet, Climate, and Landscape Interactions in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Abstract : The impact of glaciers and ice sheets on the subglacial landscape are of fundamental importance for studies of glacial history and landscape development, both in previously glaciated areas and in areas that are glaciated today. The thesis concerns the present and past erosive capacity of the ice sheet in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. READ MORE

5. Catchment controls on mire properties in the post-glacial landscape
Abstract : Mires are key ecosystems in the boreal biome which provide services related to carbon uptake, biodiversity, and regulation of hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. Minerogenic mires are supported by their upslope catchment area and underlying mineral soil, but a more detailed understanding and quantification of landscape drivers behind mire properties is needed.
