1. 1. Greenhouse gas emissions from peat soil thawing in spring : a comparison between fertilized and unfertilized soil

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Fanny Otterlin Karlsson; [2024]
   Keywords : agricultural soil; carbon dioxide; freeze-thaw cycles; nitrous oxide; soil temperature; water content;

   Abstract : Peat soils drained for agriculture and forestry contribute to a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with high warming potential and agriculture in general accounts for about 70 % of nitrous oxide emissions. READ MORE

3. 2. Seasonal Variability of Ice Nucleating Particles (INP) in Southern Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Tamina Kabir; [2023-03-08]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cloud ice crystals are formed by ice-nucleating particles (INPs). The micro-physical properties of clouds, precipitation formation and the life cycle of clouds are strongly influenced by the presence or absence of ice. Therefore knowledge of atmospheric INP concentrations is crucial to improve weather forecasting and climate projections. READ MORE

4. 3. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
   Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.

5. 4. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
   Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

   Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

6. 5. Investigation on Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Immunoglobulin G Solutions

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

   Author : Lovisa Jansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Protein; Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation; Microscopy; Light Scattering;

   Abstract : Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an important phenomenon in soft condensed matter that explains many properties of membraneless organelles in living cells. The research on this topic is, therefore, a field with a wide range of applications such as biopharmacy and biomaterials. READ MORE
