  1. 1. Aluminum levels in the O-horizon of soils near Sundsvall, Sweden : Are levels of Al elevated due to smelter emission?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Mattias Sundin; [2023]
    Keywords : Aluminium; Smelter emissions; O-horizon; Al concentration; Scots’ pine needles;

    Abstract : Aluminum (Al) is a potentially toxic element for humans, animals, and plants. Al emitted from smelter plants is one source of Al that may be responsible for increased exposure to humans and the environment. READ MORE

  2. 2. Additively Manufactured Rare Earth Free Permanent Magnets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap; Uppsala universitet/Oorganisk kemi

    Author : Himesha Abenayake; [2023]
    Keywords : additive manufacturing; MnAl; MnAl C ; rare earth free permanent magnets; selective laser melting; SLM; MnAl-based permanent magnets;

    Abstract : It’s well known that MnAl(C) material consists of a metastable phase (τ) with promising ferromagnetic properties, produced either by controlled cooling from the high-temperature hexagonal ε-phase or rapid cooling that freezes the ε-phase followed by low-temperature annealing. Due to the high cooling rates involved, additive manufacturing (AM) especially selective laser melting (SLM), has been identified as a possible method to retain the high-temperature ε-phase, hence containing a potential capacity to produce permanent magnets upon low-temperature annealing.

  3. 3. In situ X-ray diffraction studies of vertically aligned CsPbBr3 nanowire arrays

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

    Author : Jesper Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The past decade has seen a great interest in the development of metal halide perovskite materials for use in photo-optical devices, due to the excellent photo-optical properties of these materials. The primary limitation to industrial adoption, and the subject of much research, is the susceptibility of these materials to degradation from exposure to various factors such as air, heat and moisture.

  4. 4. Phase-Contrast Imaging, Towards G2-less Grating Interferometry With Deep Silicon

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Rickard Brunskog; [2022]
    Keywords : Phase-contrast imaging; phase-contrast; CT-scanning; Computed-tomography; 1 micrometer resolution x-ray; grating-less phase-contrast imaging; Faskontraströntgen; faskontrast; CT-skanning; 1 mikrometer upplösning x-ray; gitterlös faskontrast; datortomografi;

    Abstract : Conventional phase-contrast imaging entails stepping an analyser grating across the detector to resolve the interference pattern caused by the x-rays after passing through a series of gratings in a so-called Talbot-Lau interferometer. However, the analyser grating in the interferometer poses a challenge, not only due to the machinery and alignment required but also due to each exposure delivering a dose to the subject. READ MORE

  5. 5. Assessment of hip deformities during childhood: a combined approach of Machine Learning and Finite Element Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Klara Eriksson; Jonna Fahrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Hip joint; Cartilage; Osteoarthritis; Machine learning; Finite element analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. READ MORE
