  1. 1. Emission factors and methods used in climate impact assessments of energy use in Swedish heated buildings - Assessing district heating and electricity as energy source

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Louise Piltz Vitanc; Matilda Hinsegård; [2023]
    Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; Climate Calculation; Methodology; B6; Global Warming Potential; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : When the property- and building industry moves towards new solutions targeting reduced climate impact, this puts pressure on the building owners and companies to calculate the climate impact of buildings. It may seem easy, but there are various methods and guidelines to navigate around. READ MORE

  3. 2. Flame retardant treated wood : An investigation into phytic acid and its ability to act as a flame retardant agent

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Mattias Ström; Herman Paulusson; [2023]
    Keywords : Flame-retardant; Phytic acid; Wood;

    Abstract : Flame-retardant coatings have been serving their purpose since the romans ruled Europe. These products have been developed through the years, by mixing and synthetizing solutions, which have resulted in effective, although questionable, products due to their impact on the environment and our health.

  4. 3. Nuclear Heritage and Memory : A Case-Study of the Potential Repository in Östhammar

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ABM

    Author : Disa Kalin; [2023]
    Keywords : Radioactive waste repositories; Knowledge management; Memory Philosophy ; Cultural heritage; Slutförvaring av radioaktivt avfall; kunskapshantering; minnen; kulturarv;

    Abstract : Den här uppsatsen hanterar ämnet om ett nukleärt arv och minne genom en fallstudie bunden till fyra identifierade aktörer. Alla fyra arbetar med etablerandet av ett slutförvar för högaktivt och långlivat radioaktivt avfall vilket förväntas vara fortsatt farligt under 100,000-tals år. READ MORE

  5. 4. Use of the JET pedestal database to assess the role of ion temperature and plasma rotation on the discrepancy between ideal peeling-ballooning model and experimental data

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

    Author : Max Eichenberger; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear fusion; Joint European Torus JET ; H-mode; pedestal; Edge-localized-modes ELMs ; Peeling-Ballooning; relative shift; ion temperature; plasma rotation; Kärnfusion; JET Joint European Torus ; H-läge; piedestal; ELM Edge Localized­Modes ; peeling-ballooning; relativ förskjutning; jontemperatur; plasmarotation;

    Abstract : Next-generation and present fusion devices such as the Joint European Torus (JET) aim for plasma operations in H-mode, a plasma regime with high confinement and low loss of energy and fuel that results from a barrier for heat and particle transport at the plasma edge, the pedestal. Due to steep gradients of the density, temperature and pressure profiles, the pedestal experiences instabilities called Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) which lead to large fluxes of heat and particles that might damage machine components.

  6. 5. Assessment of the Capability for Vetoing Beta-Decay Events in the Lundium Decay Station

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2022]
    Keywords : Radioactivity; Decays; Radiation; Ionisation; Superheavies; Exotic isotopes; Decay spectroscopy; Semiconductors; Silicon-Strip Detectors; Lundium; Vetoing; Electron spread; Particle identification; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Alpha decay spectroscopy using the latest and most sensitive detector setup as well as fast sampling read-out electronics has become very important for discovery and analysis of short-lived nuclei created in collision experiments in the laboratory. The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund is currently developing the Lundium Decay Station for use in comprehensive nuclear spectroscopy of decays for rare isotopes, particularly in the heavy & superheavy region.
