1. 21. Toxicity of Pulsed Beams in Radiation Therapy from a Physio-Chemical Perspective

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Karin Källén; [2021]
   Keywords : FLASH; radiotherapy; ultra high; dose rates; radiolysis; cancer; medical; FLASH; strålbehandling; ultrahög; doshastighet; radiolys; cancer; medicinsk;

   Abstract : A significant portion of cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their curative or palliative treatment plan. Radiotherapy is however greatly limited by radiation induced toxicities in healthy tissue surrounding the tumour, which can lead to long-term or acute complications for a patient. READ MORE

3. 22. Advancing The Veto-Player Framework : A Study Of The Conditions Under Which Fragmentation Influences The Likelihood Of A Peace Agreement

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

   Author : Alanna Smart; [2021]
   Keywords : armed conflict; fragmentation; rebel groups; veto players; outbidding; preferences;

   Abstract : Recent research has recognised the complexity of fragmented conflicts; however, debate exists regarding when and how fragmentation hinders peace processes. This study addresses this lacuna, by investigating the conditions under which fragmentation affects the likelihood of a peace agreement. READ MORE

4. 23. Numerical simulations of shear reinforced concrete beams subjected to blast loads

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Anton Frank; Andreas Fristedt; [2021]
   Keywords : Numerical simulations; shear reinforcement; blast loads; dynamic shear failure; Numeriska simuleringar; tvärkraftsarmering; luftstötvåg; dynamiskt skjuvbrott;

   Abstract : Historical accidents and experimental investigations have made apparent that blast loaded concrete members are prone to fail in brittle shear rather than a ductile flexure mode. Air blasts from accidental detonations or explosives may cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and it is of great importance that load carrying members can withstand the impulse that arise to avoid progressive collapses.

5. 24. Quantum Chemical Modelling for Predicting Mutagenicity

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

   Author : Katarina Petrovic; [2021]
   Keywords : in silico; mutagenicity; Mutagen-X; LUMO; Ames test; in silico; mutagenicitet; Mutagen-X; LUMO; Ames test;

   Abstract : Mutageniciteten för olika ämnen bestäms vanligtvis med hjälp av konventionella in vivo och in vitro metoder. Att övergå till in silico metoder vore både etiskt och miljö- mässigt gynnsamt. Flera olika parametrar kan användas för att förutse mutagenicitet. READ MORE

6. 25. Exploring off-grid electricity production in Sweden: Benefits vs costs

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Jesper Björkman; Simon Lundqvist; [2020]
   Keywords : Battery storage; Grid defection; Grid parity; Grid tariff; HOMER Pro; Hydrogen storage; Off-grid; Off-grid applications; Partially off-grid; Prosumer; Prosumer household; Self-sufficient household; Socio-technical change; Socio-technical systems; Solar PV; Sweden; Utility death spiral.; Batterilagring; Delvis Off-grid; Grid paritet; Off-grid; Prosument; Vätgaslagring; Självförsörjande hushåll; Socio-tekniska förändringar; Socio-tekniska system; Solpaneler; Sverige;

   Abstract : Over the past decade, technologies that facilitate household electricity production and storage have seen a rapid development along with a significant cost reduction. Research points to an increased share of household-produced electricity within the existing national grids across the globe. READ MORE
