1. Explorative Scenarios for Future Lithium Supplies and Demand
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Because of its specific qualities, lithium is a key element for making lithium-ion batteries, which is of great relevance since the battery sector is the fastest growing user of lithium to date and with the transition towards a fully electrified transportation sector due to the current climate agenda and an even bigger increase in demand for lithium is anticipated for the coming decades. The two main sources for lithium to date are mines and brines, with brine water composing around 87 % of the world’s lithium reserves in terms of contained lithium. READ MORE

2. Projections of future lithium production and implications for EU
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are critical for the adoption of electrical vehicles vital for the electrification of road traffic as part of our fossil-fuel phasing out plan. This increasing demand for energy storage has expanded lithium production ten folds over the last 10 years and led to a new debate on the availability of lithium resources as well as sustainable challenges in resource exporting countries.

3. Comparison of mortality rate models for current health diseases
University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikationAbstract : In this research, we compare different models, that are used to model the mortality rate curve, to model different deaths caused by certain diseases. In this comparison we increase the complexity of the models, starting with the Gompertz model, to later reduce the complexity fixing some parameters depending on the error. .. READ MORE

4. Maximum Likelihood Estimation Using Bayesian Monte Carlo Methods
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : The objective of this thesis is to give a general account of the MCMC estimation approach dubbed data cloning, specically performing maximum likelihood estimation via Bayesian Monte Carlo methods. An account of the procedure will be given, and it will applied to four dierent maximum likelihood estimation problems: simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, a stochastic dynamical model (Gompertz), and a state space model.
