1. 21. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

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

   Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
   Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

   Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

3. 22. The threat of embodied carbon in the building sector. What is guiding the solution?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Andrea Stevens; [2023]
   Keywords : Embodied Carbon; Building Sector; Ecomodernism; Decarbonisation; Climate Change; Building Materials; Sustainability Science; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Embodied carbon in the building sector is an emerging area for decarbonisation efforts due to its large contribution to carbon emissions and ability to support carbon neutrality targets. This thesis aims to understand the roots of current embodied decarbonisation strategy recommendations, by exploring how embodied carbon reduction strategies are in line with the philosophy of ecomodernism.

4. 23. Acoustic Focusing of Lysozyme Crystals

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Måns Junestrand; [2023]
   Keywords : Protein Crystals; Lysozyme Crystals; Ultrasound; Acoustic Focusing; SFX; Biomedical Physics; Proteinkristaller; Ultraljud; Lysozymkristaller; Akustisk fokusering; SFX; Biomedicinsk fysik;

   Abstract : Acoustic focusing of microscale protein crystals with acoustophoresis technology could reduce clogs during experiments with the scientific technique serial femtosecond x-ray crystallography (SFX). SFX determines molecular structures of proteins, these structures are valuable in drug discovery and fundamental biomedical research. READ MORE

   Abstract : En tillgänglig, trygg och säker trafikmiljö är betydelsefulla aspekter oavsett om du är bilist, cyklist eller gångtrafikant och därav blir stabila vägbyggen och underhåll av vägar väldigt viktigt. Vägar utgör en viktig del av vår infrastruktur och bidrar till ett fungerande samhälle. READ MORE

6. 25. Last minute change to mobility. Exploring Malmö’s visions towards more sustainable mobility by implementing mobility hubs as a niche innovation.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Philip Salvador Fernandez-Montenegro von Schack; [2023]
   Keywords : Mobility transition; CO2 emission reduction; urban mobility; social mobility; car reduction; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Like many car-dominated cities, Malmö is pressured to enable a radical shift towards more sustainable, space-efficient, and socially just mobility. This paper uses the Multiple-Level Perspective (MLP) framework to analyze the mobility dilemma on three levels: the dominant cause for change, the approach towards it, and the possible solution in the form of mobility hubs as a niche innovation.
