1. 21. A Nonlinear Reservoir Model to Simulate Blue-Green Stormwater Systems – An Application to Augustenborg Catchment in Malmö, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Emmanuel Ekwu; [2021]
   Keywords : Blue-green stormwater control; Nonlinear reservoir routing model; Stormwater; Modelling; Calibration; Water engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The increasingly rapid urbanization has led to vast impervious surface areas in the urban environment. This situation of impervious surfaces has increased the surface temperature and interrupted the natural water circle, which has negatively impacted the urban environment. READ MORE

3. 22. Eyes Wide Shut: Seeing the Safety Management System as a State

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : David J Beausang; [2021]
   Keywords : Safety; Safety Management System; SMS; Risk; Authoritarian High Modernism; Aviation; Responsibilisation; FLMU06; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Airlines are required to manage safety by implementing a Safety Management System (SMS). These systems are built on experience with quality management and seek to provide a structure for organisations to manage the risks presented by and to their individual operations. READ MORE

4. 23. A pre-study for functional coatings evaluated on light metals to be applied on a new HPDC Mg-alloy : Investigating tribological and thermophysical properties, as-cast and coated

   University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Industriell produktutveckling, produktion och design

   Author : Louise Albo Zieme; Pontus Bergstedt; [2021]
   Keywords : reciprocating dry sliding wear test; thermophysical test; NiP-SiC; Ni-SiC; functional coatings; progressive scratch test; adhesion; magnesium alloy; aluminium alloy; hardness.;

   Abstract : Magnesium with two-thirds of the density compared to aluminium and one-quarter of steel, intrigues product developers and material scientists due to the light metal’s excellent combination of strength to weight ratio as well as their capability of being produced as a High Pressure Die Cast component compared to other ferrous or light metal alloys.   However, a magnesium alloy inherits some concerning drawbacks, limiting the exploitation in structural applications and mechanical design such as automotive, heavy machinery and aerospace components.

5. 24. Performance of joints for glued laminated timber exposed to the ISO fire temperature curve

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Jesus Gil; [2021]
   Keywords : Glued laminated Timber; Structural fire engineering; Fire performance; standard ISO fire curve; Joints; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configurations on the fire performance of glulam members.

6. 25. The kinetic characterization of mutated cyanobacterial dual-functioning fructose/sedoheptulose bisphosphate using a malachite green colorimetric assay

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Albert Jousif Anis; [2021]
   Keywords : Cyanobacteria; carbon fixation; metabolic engineering; protein engineering; colorimetric enzyme assay; rational design; enzyme kinetics; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The increased human dependence on fossil-based fuels, industrial chemicals, and structural materials has caused a drastic increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the past 50 years. Consequences of this have been observed in the disruption of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. READ MORE
