Ida Mexnell Ett biobränsles påverkan på luftmiljön Användningen av fossila bränslen anses i dagsläget vara den enskilt största orsaken till den globala uppvärmningen, vilket beror på dess bidrag till ökningen av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Med hopp om att kunna bromsa den uppvärmande trenden pågår forskning för att ta fram alternativa bränslen som ska vara mer skonsamma mot miljön och inte bidra Renewable alternatives to fossil fuels are of importance nowadays since the use of fossil fuels is considered to stand for the largest contribution to global warming. In recent years, a group of cyclic ethers called furans have been proposed as potential renewable fuels. To enable evaluation of the usefulness of these compounds as fuels, it is important to understand their atmospheric chemistry si

South Africa is a water-scarce country that is expected to face challenges regarding freshwater resources in the future. This study aimed to identify the land cover in two different catchments and to analyse the water quality in relation to land cover data. The study shows that GIS and remote sensing can be successfully used as a tool in classifying land cover over time in order to use the results

Svenska kommuner innehar i dag stora mänger geografisk information, information som är nödvändig för att sköta kommunen. Förr i tiden var all geografisk information i pappersformat, sedan digitalerades den och fördes in i datorn. Detta examensarbete har fokuserat på hur man kan ta nästa steg, från datorn till mobiltelefonen. Dagens tekniska framsteg på den mobila marknaden har gett oss en helt ny Swedish municipalities today hold large amounts of geographical information, information that is necessary to manage the municipality. In the past all geographical information was stored in paper format, but it has now been digitalized and stored in computers. This thesis has focused on how to take the next step, from the computer to the mobile phone. Today's technological advances in the mobi

The purpose of this study is to find more efficient technologies to solve the problem of capturing and extract a contaminant cloud over a larger surface, e.g. workbench. The main air pollution that the technology shall be able to control is welding fumes, and the main focus is to obtain a contaminant free breathing zone. Today’s products for extracting welding fumes are either an extraction arm th

En av de mest användbara instrumenten för identifiering av ädelstenar är refraktometern. Standardrefraktometern är baserad på synligt ljus, men en första generationens infraröd refraktometer är ute på marknaden. Den här nya refraktometern har inte visat rätt värden och därför är syftet med detta projekt att testa olika parametrar och se deras påverkan på resultaten. En av de mest användbara instrOne of the most valuable instruments for gem identification is the refractometer. The standard refractometer is based on visible light, but a first generation infrared refractometer is out on the market. This new refractometer has not showed accurate values, and therefore the purpose of this project has been to test different parameters and see their influence on the results. The temperature seem

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the conflict of Norrvikens trädgårdar (Norrviken's Gardens) in the rural community of Båstad municipality in Sweden. For a long time, this park has been an arena for conflicts about land use and physical planning. With a theoretical approach, founded on second home tourism, the thesis examines the struggle between the different actors. Second home touri

Computer-aided modeling for simulation, optimization and analysis is increasingly used for product development in industry today, resulting in high demands on the tools used. A tool chain for transferring interpreted code of the modeling languages Modelica and Optimica from the simulation and optimization tool JModelica.org to CasADi has been implemented.

By conducting a qualitative study with an abductive approach, consisting of a case study at Volvo Group where we looked into a cross-functional committee, we researched what the knowledge sharing processes look like and what barriers hinder the sharing of knowledge. We us

Alunskiffern är en svart till mörkbrun lerskiffer av mellankambrisk till tidig ordovicisk ålder med ett högt organiskt innehåll. Skiffern innehåller också stora mängder spårelement och är känd för sitt höga inne-håll av bland annat uran och pyritbundet svavel. Alunskifferns speciella sammansättning avspeglas i dess bildnings-miljö som antas sakna moderna analogier. Idag förekommer den svenska alunThe alum shale is a black to dark brown shale of middle cambrian to early ordovician age and has a high organic content. Certain trace elements are also abundant and the shale is known for large amounts of uranium, and sulfur associated with pyrite. The unique constitution of the alum shale is reflected in its depositional environment which is assumed to lack any modern analogy. The Swedish alum s

Lauded for its success and heralded as an economic model for peripheral European countries to follow, since the bursting of the Irish property bubble in 2008 the management of the Celtic Tiger by the Irish state has been castigated as expressively how not to manage an economic bubble. Following a decade and a half of continuous growth averaging over six per cent, the Irish economy has since experi
