  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. Developments Towards High-Resolution Muonic Atom X-ray Spectroscopy of Low-Z Elements : For precision measurements of absolute nuclear charge radii

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Benjamin Verbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : muon physics; subatomic physics; charge radius; nucleus; lithium; silicon drift detector; microcalorimeter;

    Abstract : This Master's thesis investigates a method to measure atomic nuclei with record precision using muonic atom X-ray spectroscopy. In particular, 6Li is measured experimentally. The method used is independent from the previous most precise measurement of the 6Li nuclear charge radius which uses electron scattering. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Potential of Dissolved Air Flotation for PFAS Reduction in Norrvatten's Future Waterworks

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Madeleine Vikström; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS4; drinking water production; dissolved air flotation; granular activated carbon filter; sludge management; PFAS4; dricksvattenproduktion; flotation; granulärt aktivt kolfilter; slamhantering;

    Abstract : Norrvatten är en av Sveriges största dricksvattenproducenter. Med ett ökande behov av en större produktionskapacitet och nya regleringar, planerar dem att förbättra sin reningsprocess. En aspekt som kräver omfattande undersökning är val av reningsmetod för att nå den nya gränsen från Livsmedelsverket för fyra PFAS kemikalier. READ MORE

  5. 4. Open-Circuit-Voltage hysteresis measurement and modelling of LiFePO4 Batteries : Master Thesis Report - 2023

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

    Author : Guillaume Larrat; [2023]
    Keywords : Open-Circuit-Voltage OCV Hysteresis - Voltage relaxation - Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique GITT - Hysteresis modelling; Öppenkretsspännings OCV hysteres - Spänningsrelaxation - Galvanostatisk intermittent titreringsteknik GITT - Hysteresmodellering;

    Abstract : In a context of an expected increasing use of Lithium-ion batteries in the transportation sector, Volvo AB is developing its own solutions for large electric vehicles. It is then beneficial to reduce the costs, the energy demand and the raw materials demand by improving the battery systems’ performances. READ MORE

  6. 5. Cultural Distance’s Effect on Short-Term Acquisition Performance - Evidence from Swedish Acquirers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Alia Rezai; Ludwig Lindau; Vilhelm Thorstenson; [2023]
    Keywords : Cultural distance; Masculinity; Uncertainty Avoidance; Short-term acquisition performance; Cumulative average abnormal returns; Cross-border acquisitions; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This quantitative study aims to investigate whether cultural distance has any significant effect on short-term acquisition performance, measured as abnormal returns for Swedish cross-border acquisitions. This study adds to previous literature through filling the gap where there has been a lack of a sample of Swedish acquirers, using a multi-measurement approach, and having a broad sample of acquisitions conducted in Europe between the years 2000-2022.
