1. 1. Investigating the Magnetic Susceptibility of Cornish Loess as a Tool for Understanding the Palaeoclimate of SW England

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Love Tingdal; [2020]
   Keywords : loess; palaeoclimate; Lizard Peninsula; Isles of Scilly; palaeoprecipitation; magnetic susceptibility; loess; paleoklimat; Lizard-halvön; Scillyöarna; historisk årsmedelnederbörd; magnetisk susceptibilitet;

   Abstract : Loess is a silty material produced via glacial grinding and its deposition is usually associated with colder periods when there is a considerable increase in atmospheric dust transport. The magnetic susceptibility of loess-palaeosol sequences has been the subject of extensive research within palaeoclimatology as it has proven to be reliable climate proxy. READ MORE

3. 2. Ice cover and spatial distribution of trout (Salmo trutta) in a small stream

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

   Author : Teemu Collin; [2018]
   Keywords : Salmo trutta; spatial distribution; effect of ice-cover; ice-cover; Öring; rumsliga utbredning; Salmo trutta; istäcke;

   Abstract : Winter has been generally considered as a bottleneck period for salmonid populations, but recent studies show it might be more context related. The purpose of this study was to examine how surface ice changes spatial distribution of juvenile one-year-old brown trout in a small boreal stream. READ MORE

4. 3. Process Simulations of Small Scale Biomass Power Plant

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Ingenjörshögskolan

   Author : Uchechukwu Megwai Godswill; [2014]
   Keywords : Biomass power technology; gasification; internal combustion engine ICE ; micro gas turbine MGT ; gas turbine; stirling engine; steam turbine;

   Abstract : Power generation from biomass based renewable energy technologies is a promising option in retrofitting our dependence in conventional power generation processes. The development of any society is not possible without sustainable energy and access to energy creates that environment that allows the world to thrive. READ MORE

5. 4. Textile wastewater treatment and electricity generation by Microbial Fuel Cell with freezing technology as pre-treatment (A No-water discharge approach).

   University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

   Author : Shuronjit Kumar Sarker; [2012]
   Keywords : COD; Color; Freezing technology; KMnO4; MFC; Power generation; Textile wastewater;

   Abstract : Textile wastewater contains very high concentration of color, COD, suspended solids and other pollutants. Methods such as reverse osmosis, nano-filtration and ultrafiltration are known to be effective to remove some pollutants but these methods are very expensive. READ MORE

6. 5. Late Weichselian glacial and geomorphological reconstruction of South-Western Scania, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Kilian Barth; [2011]
   Keywords : Trelleborg; Vellinge; ice stream; Scania; ice lobe; late Weichselian; Malmö; Skåne; Weichsel; Söderslätt; Backlandskapet; isström ; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : This study was carried out to deliver new insight into the late Weichselian landscape development of South Western Scania and to make regional scale glaciation models of South-Western Scandinavia more accurate. The goal of this study is to find out how the latest ice advances affected the study area. READ MORE
