1. 16. The Role of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contaminated food for male infertility : A Scoping review

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för hälso- och vårdvetenskap (HV)

   Author : Tehseen Kamran; [2023]
   Keywords : Per-or polyfluoroalkyl substances; diet; food; male infertility;

   Abstract : Background: The trend of male infertility is increasing and it correlates with industrial development which has introduced various industrial contaminants in the environment and human life. PFASs are one of those contaminants. Humans are exposed to PFAS through various routes and sources, especially through food and diet. READ MORE

3. 17. When is Electric Freight Cost Competitive? : Computational modeling and simulation of total cost of ownership for electric truck fleets

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

   Author : Anton Zackrisson; [2023]
   Keywords : electric freight; battery-electric trucks; total cost of ownership; decision making under deep uncertainty DMDU ; cost-competitiveness; exploratory modeling and analysis EMA ; EMA workbench; quasi-Monte Carlo method; VRP; EVRP; elektrifiering; godstransport; elektriska lastbilar; total ägandekostnad; kostnadskonkurrenskraft; ruttoptimering;

   Abstract : Battery electric trucks (BETs) offer environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but have been challenged with economic viability compared to conventional internal combustion engine trucks (ICETs) caused by substantial acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and concerns regarding range and payload capacity.  Previous studies focus on TCO at the vehicle or policy level but overlook the system and firm-level impacts.

4. 18. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Eva Meyer; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.

5. 19. Numerical Design of an Extremely High Temperature Thermochemical Reactor for Converting Biochar to Hard Carbon

   University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

   Author : Jinghe Zhang; [2022]
   Keywords : CFD; Hard carbon; Biochar; Induction heating; Energy efficiency; CFD; Hårt kol; Biokol; Induktionsuppvärmning; Energieffektivitet;

   Abstract : Hard carbon is now a popular choice for the anode material in sodium-ion batteries. Converting biochar to produce hard carbon is considered carbon neutral and of great interest since it reduces the environmental impacts of biomass waste. READ MORE

6. 20. Energy-Efficient Retrofits on an Existing Home in Coimbra, Portugal : A dynamic assessment of environmental performance for future climate and energy mix scenarios

   University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

   Author : Jordan Berman; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work introduces a method, called the dynamic building life cycle, to evaluate theenvironmental performance for residential renovation products. The method goes beyond a fullbuildinglife cycle by accounting for the changing dry bulb temperature and greenhouse gas (GHG)intensity over a 30-year period between 2020 and 2050. READ MORE
