  1. 1. Developing a Cost Model For Combined Offshore Farms : The Advantages of Co-Located Wind and Wave Energy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Eva Blech; [2023]
    Keywords : Wave Energy; Floating Offshore Wind; Co-located Wind-Wave Farm; Levelized Cost of Energy; Multi-Source Offshore Farm; Vågenergi; flytande havsbaserad vindkraft; samlokaliserad vind- och vågpark; nivellerad energikostnad; havsbaserad park med flera källor;

    Abstract : Previous research has displayed that multi-source farms provide an opportunity to reduce the cost of energy and improve the energy output quality. This thesis assesses the cost competitiveness of co-located wind-wave farms, specifically floating offshore wind (FLOW) turbines and CorPower’s wave energy converters (WEC). READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization of InAs-Al semiconductor-superconductor hybrid devices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Markus Aspegren; [2020]
    Keywords : quantum dot; superconductivity; quantum transport; josephson junction; spectroscopy; yu-shiba-rusinov; hybrid devices; sub-gap states; quantum computer; majorana bound state; bogoliubov quasiparticle; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study charge and spin transport through InAs-Al nanowire superconductor-semiconductor hybrid devices. We focus on assessing the quality of the InAs-Al contact interface when using a weak HCl acid to wet-etch the nanowire surface prior to metal evaporation. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Young & The Dying : The Continued Romanticization of Terminally Ill Adolescents in Contemporary American Cinema

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för mediestudier

    Author : Christian Gregory; [2020]
    Keywords : Cancer; Sick-Lit; Sick-Flicks; Cystic Fibrosis; CF; YA Literature; YA Films; The Fault in Our Stars; Five Feet Apart; Love Story; John Green;

    Abstract : This essay examines how the past decade’s wave of young adult films portraying termi-nal illnesses compare and contrast with similar works from both film as well as literary works commonly referred to as “sick-lit”. By viewing three prominent films released be-tween 2014 and 2019 and applying both literature dealing with sick-lit as well as texts fo-cused on how cinema tends to portray serious illnesses such as cancer, I attempt to dis-cern whether significant change in the way which contemporary film handles severe ill-nesses has occurred.

  5. 4. Analysis of Multicomponent Data to Study Esker Structures, Turku-Finland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Julia Fridlund; [2017]
    Keywords : Finland; esker structures; reflection seismology; multicomponent data; S-wave; Finland; rullstensås; reflexionsseismik; flerkomponentdata; S-vågor;

    Abstract : Eskers are long winding ridges that originate from gravel that has travelled in meltwater streams in glaciers. At the study site, Virttaankangas plane in southwest Finland, there are esker structures covered by sediments. One reason why it is important to study eskers is because they are used for purifying drinking water. READ MORE

  6. 5. Damping Profile Research for Corpower Ocean's Wave Energy Converter

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Tianzhi Zhou; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With increasing energy demanding and greenhouse gases from fossil fuel, the need to develop new ways to convert energy in sustainable methods is becoming more and more urgent. Corpower Ocean AB designed a point absorber type wave energy converter to harvest energy from surface wave. READ MORE
