  1. 16. Kilohertz electro-optics for remote sensing of insect dispersal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Sandra Török; [2013]
    Keywords : LUMBO; remote sensing; dark-field spectroscopy; insect wingbeat modulation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the possibilities of determining the flight direction of insects by analysing the wingbeat modulation pattern of the backscattered sunlight from insects. The Lund University Mobile Biosphere Observatory (LUMBO) was used during the summer of 2013 for a field campaign at two locations in Skåne, Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 17. Aerosol Measurements and Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Maj Blomdell; Ida Lundin; [2012]
    Keywords : Aerosol particles; particle size distributions; diurnal variations.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Abstract The greatest source of hazardous airborne particles in an urban environment comes from traffic exhaust. Air pollution has a great impact on human health; estimated to cause 1.3 million deaths worldwide per year. About half of all mortality caused by air pollution can be linked to motorized traffic.

  4. 18. Application of CFD to Safety and Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis of Lead-Cooled Systems

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Marti Jeltsov; [2011]
    Keywords : Coupled Codes; Verification Validation; CFD; System Thermal-Hydraulics; Lead Cooled sys-;

    Abstract : Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is increasingly being used in nuclear reactor safety analysis as a tool that enables safety related physical phenomena occurring in the reactor coolant system to be described in more detail and accuracy. Validation is a necessary step in improving predictive capability of a computationa code or coupled computational codes. READ MORE

  6. 20. Microwell-based Collagen Matrix Migration Assays for NK:target Cell Interactions : Three-dimensional Imaging and Analysis of Transient Migration Behavior of NK Cells in vitro

    University essay from KTH/Cellens fysik

    Author : Per Olofsson; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system responsible for lysing tumor and virally-infected cells. Investigating NK cell heterogeneity can inform the development of more efficacious immunotherapeutic treatments. Cell motility is an essential aspect of NK cell function. READ MORE
