1. The nutrient-color paradigm : A test based on a comperative analysis of lakes in four ecoregions in Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The nutrient-color paradigm explains lake productivity as a function of the concentrations of nutrients and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the water column. Specifically, the paradigm predicts that primary production decreases with increasing concentrations of CDOM due to reduced light penetration, and increases with nitrogen or phosphorus concentration because these are typically the growth limiting elements for phytoplankton.

2. Triaxial testing of lime/cement stabilized clay : A comparison with unconfined compression tests
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Detta examensarbete presenterar resultat från en laboratoriestudie på en lera från Enköping stabiliserad med kalk och cement. I laboratoriet har isotropiskt konsoliderade odränerade aktiva triaxialförsök utförts på provkroppar och jämförts med enaxliga tryckförsök som utförts på provkroppar från samma inblandningstillfälle.

3. Soil Plugging of Open-Ended Piles During Impact Driving in Cohesion-less Soil
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : During impact driving of open-ended piles through cohesion-less soil the internal soil column may mobilize enough internal shaft resistance to prevent new soil from entering the pile. This phenomena, referred to as soil plugging, changes the driving characteristics of the open-ended pile to that of a closed-ended, full displacement pile. READ MORE

4. Comparative analyses of Defense gene expression in Norway spruce sapwood
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : As the most important species in Europe’s forest industry, Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] has a very high economical impact. Unfortunately, the forest industry has yearly losses of approximately 800 million euro, because many Norway spruce stands suffer infection by one of the tree’s major pathogens Heterobasidion parviporum (Fr.

5. A study of the correlation between soil-rock sounding and column penetration test data
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Lime-cement columns have been used in Sweden to improve poor soil conditions since the 1970’s. The method is inexpensive and flexible, but is difficult to test since the columns are manufactured in-situ. Many test-methods have been developed for testing the column strength during the years.
