  1. 1. Microplastics in food webs- occurrence in Lake Vänern brown trout (Salmo trutta) and its main prey

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Hanna Nordström; [2023]
    Keywords : microplastic; freshwater; fish; brown trout; mikroplast; sötvatten; fisk; öring;

    Abstract : Over the past decade, research on microplastic pollution has gained significant attention. Research regarding microplastic occurrence in freshwater fish, however is still scarce. While possible pathways have been investigated, passive transfer via ingestion of prey, and possible bioaccumulation in different organs remains relatively unstudied. READ MORE

  3. 2. Improving maintenance scheduling with condition monitoring on the electric distribution grid : An economic analysis comparing corrective and predictive maintenance

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hugo Vincenti; [2022]
    Keywords : Condition-based maintenance; predictive maintenance; health index; failure rate; maintenance scheduling; sensors; economic analysis; simulation; Tillståndsbaserat underhåll; förebyggande underhåll; hälsoindex; felfrekvens; underhållsplanering; sensorer; ekonomisk analys; simulering.;

    Abstract : A growing use of sensors on the electric grid has opened the door to new methods of asset management: Distribution System Operators are now looking into conditionbased maintenance, as opposed to the traditional corrective or time-based methods. As an emerging field, the methodology must be constructed from the ground, with the little data available. READ MORE

  4. 3. Study of hole mobility in amorphous polyethylene via kinetic Monte Carlo methods

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Hannes Aspåker; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a study of hole mobility in amorphous polyethylene using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) methods together with a novel chain segmentation model developed by Unge and Nilsson, which determines hole localization sites based on torsion angles along the polymer chain. An extension to the KMC algorithm was developed which improves performance by modelinground-trips between strongly interconnected localization sites. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mineral wool : From landfill to a sustaianble polymer composite

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Noéll Sjöbeck; [2022]
    Keywords : recycling; sustainability; waste management; circular economy; mineral wool; construction and demolition industry; composites; polymers; återvinning; hållbarhet; avfallshantering; cirkulär ekonomi; mineralull; bygg- och rivningsindustri; kompositer; polymerer;

    Abstract : The focus of the project is recycling of the insulation material mineral wool. The aim is to investigate the potential of using post-consumer wool from landfill as fiber reinforcement in a polymer matrix. READ MORE

  6. 5. First principles DFT study of polyethylene insulation containing chemical impurities - implementing counterpoise correction

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Max Pierre; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied physics; HVDC cable; Polymer physics; Polyethylene; Density functional theory; Molecular dynamics; CP2K; GROMAC; Electron traps; Band gaps; Density of states; Tillämpad fysik; HVDC kabel; Polymerfysik; Polyeten; Täthetsfunktionalteori; Molekulärdynamik; CP2K; GROMACS; Elektronfällor; Bandgap; Tillståndstäthet;

    Abstract : Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of polyethylene (PE) HVDC cable insulation have been performed for systems containing four different chemical impurities: acetophenone, cumene, $\alpha$-methyl styrene and $\alpha$-cumyl alcohol. Systems were generated by molecular dynamics (MD) equilibration at four different temperatures relevant for cable insulation applications: 277 K, 293 K, 343 K and 363 K. READ MORE
