  1. 11. Exploring the application of neural networks in predictions of nuclear binding energies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Martin Waites; [2020]
    Keywords : neural networks; drip-line; nuclear physics; binding energy; exotic nuclei; Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project the locations of the proton and neutron drip-lines are predicted using neural networks and theoretical data obtained by applying the HFBTHO program. For each of the neural networks a comparison is made between neural network predictions and experimental data in the region experimental data exists. READ MORE

  3. 12. Assessing the biodiversity crisis within the Triassic-Jurassic boundary interval using redox sensitive trace metals and stable carbon isotope geochemistry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Halla Margrét Viðarsdóttir; [2020]
    Keywords : Stenlille; Schandelah; redox conditions; C-isotopes; marine sediments; trace elements; enrichment factors; mass extinction; Triassic – Jurassic boundary; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Around the Triassic-Jurassic-Boundary time interval, a severe mass extinction event occurred, which has been associated to volcanism of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Significant amounts of greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) and other volatiles are suggested to have been released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming with subsequent impact on the biosphere.

  4. 13. Iron and Oxygen Isotope Signatures of Magnetite in Iron Ore of Kiruna Type

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Malin Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : IOA-deposits; magnetite; SIMS; EBSD; Fe- and O isotopes; laser fluorination;

    Abstract : Stable isotope analysis of iron and oxygen isotopes in magnetite of Kiruna-type from Sweden and Chile have been conducted to further the understanding of the formation, and advance the analysis methods of these deposits. For this, data from SIMS (secondary ion mass spectroscopy), EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) and triple oxygen analysis (by laser fluorination) are used. READ MORE

  5. 14. Simulation of Anti-Compton Shield Augmentation to the Lundium Decay Station Using Geant4

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Daesung Cho; [2019]
    Keywords : Lundium; Geant4; Anti-Compton shield; gamma spectroscopy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Lundium decay station improves on the existing TASISpec spectrometer used to investigate the nuclear structure of superheavy nuclei by photon- and charged particle-spectroscopy. This thesis aims to explore the potential benefits of the future Lundium station with the augmentation of anti-Compton shields com- posed by a set of BGO scintillator bars. READ MORE

  6. 15. Påverkar klimatförändringen trofisk fraktionering av C och N mellan växt och konsument i sötvattenekosystem?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Evelina Hiltunen; [2018]
    Keywords : chironomus riparius; stable isotopes; trophic fractionation; climate change; oligotrophication;

    Abstract : Temperaturhöjningen som en följd av klimatförändringen väntas gå fortast och bli störst på Nord- och Sydpolen. När lufttemperaturen stiger, stiger även vattentemperaturer och vegetationsgränser flyttas. Detta skulle kunna vara orsaken till den näringsutarmning som kan ses i många arktiska sjöar. READ MORE
