  1. 1. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Duncan Jones; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

  3. 2. Does turbidity affect critical thermal maximum (CTM) of mussels : Behavioural changes in Unio tumidus under stress

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ellinor Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : CTM; critical thermal maximum; turbidity; suspended solids; Unio tumidus; freshwater mussel; bivalve; climate change; Unionida; CTM; turbiditet; grumlighet; suspenderade ämnen; Unio tumidus; sötvattensmussla; musslor; klimatförändringar; Unionida;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels is one the most endangered groups of organisms worldwide and stand in front of several threats. Global warming along with anthropogenic influence affect the mussel’s natural habitat and stress leads to changes in their behaviour. READ MORE

  4. 3. Recycling Waste Solar Panels (c-Si & CdTe) in Sweden

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Alireza Nekouaslazadeh; [2021]
    Keywords : PV panels; Environmental impacts; Economical impacts; c-Si; CdTe; Solar modules recycling center; Critical materials; Delamination; Material separation;

    Abstract : Solar energy industries are one of the fastest-growing industries in the global energy market. Between 2018 and 2019, installed capacity in Sweden increased by 70%. This is due to a combination of declining PV module and inverter costs, as well as  increased conversion to fossil-free energy production to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Gate oxide characterization of 4H-SiC MOS capacitors : A study of the effects of electrical stress on the flat-band voltage of n-type substrate 4H-SiC MOS capacitors

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Sotirios Maslougkas; [2021]
    Keywords : Silicon carbide; Gate oxide; Oxide characterization; MOS devices; Semiconductor- insulator interface; Kiselkarbid; Gate-oxid; Oxidkarakterisering; MOS-teknologi; halvledar-isolatorgränssnitt;

    Abstract : Silicon is the main material used in electronics. The evolution of power electronics and the need for more power efficient semiconductor devices led silicon to its limits. Silicon carbide is a promising material for electronic applications with a wide band-gap, high critical electric field, high thermal conductivity and saturation velocity. READ MORE

  6. 5. Thermomechanical stress analysis of the main insulation system of traction electrical machines

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Dahman Ismail; Alexis Andrei; [2020]
    Keywords : finite element analysis; thermo-mechanical stress; heavy-duty vehicle; electrical machine; insulation system; coupled-temperature displacement analysis; finita element analys; termomekaniska spänningar; lastbilar; elektriska motorer; isolering; termisk kopplingsförbindelse;

    Abstract : More efficiency heavy-duty vehicles are developed with higher range, updated electronic and mechanical parts. The fuel efficiency and pollution of carbon dioxide need to be lower to achieve new EU regulations. The global population increases with an increased number of heavy-duty vehicles. This, in turn, increases the emission. READ MORE
