1. 1. Flow of charged particles in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at the LHC

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Mohamed Berkat; [2024]
   Keywords : Quark Gluon Plasma; QGP; Quantum Chromodynamic; QCD; flow coefficients; Event Plane; Cumulants; ALICE; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the transition of Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) matter to a strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), where quarks and gluons become deconfined. The expansion of this plasma exhibits characteristics of an ideal relativistic hydrodynamics system, suggesting a behavior similar to that of a perfect fluid. READ MORE

3. 2. Effect of temperature on early stage adhesion during TiAlN sliding against Inconel 718 and Stainless steel 316L : High temperature tribology

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

   Author : Ahsan Ali; [2023]
   Keywords : High temperature tribology; Early-stage adhesion; Adhesive wear; Friction; Wear resistant coatings; Physical vapour deposition PVD coatings; TiAlN; Tungsten carbide WC Co ; Difficult to machine super alloys; Inconel 718; Stainless steel 316L; High-performance materials; Abrasion; Oxidation; Chipping; Ploughing; Characterization;

   Abstract : High-performance materials such as stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are widely used in demanding applications where high mechanical and thermal properties are required. The applications of super alloys are mainly found in jet engines, power plants and gas turbines demanding high fatigue strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as wear resistant properties.

4. 3. The Effect of Chloride-Induced Corrosion Patterns on the Crack Width of Reinforced Concrete

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Dilara Uludag; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This master's thesis investigates cracking in a parking garage, with a particular focus on the influence of corrosion. Concrete structures commonly experience cracking, and corrosion has emerged as one of the primary contributing factors. These cracks, varying in size and shape, can be considered structural discontinuities. READ MORE

5. 4. The Heraldry of the Vasa Dynasty : Coats of arms as propaganda tools in conflicts with the outside world and within the family

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för samhälls- och kulturvetenskap (from 2013)

   Author : Björn Fridén; [2023]
   Keywords : Heraldry; History; Early modern history; Vasa Dynasty; Propaganda; State formation; Nobility; Royalty; Sweden; Finland;

   Abstract : During the rule of the house of Vasa 1523-1654, Sweden saw a vastly increased output of new government heraldry and official symbols. This thesis investigates the political motives behind the creation of these symbols and their use as propaganda tools as part of the formation of the Swedish state. READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Vladimir Novakovic; [2023]
   Keywords : Mitilysin; Mly; Structural Biology; Cryo-EM; pore; toxin; pore forming proteins; pore forming toxins; PFP; PFT;

   Abstract : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. READ MORE
