Palynologiska och sedimentologiska studier av prover från en borrkärna från Thar-kolfältet (nedre Indus Bassängen), Pakistan har genomförts. De kenozoiska sedimenten ligger på det granitiska urberget (som utgör den Indiska skölden) och utgörs främst av kolavlagringarna vilka är mellanlagrade av sandsten och silt-sten.. Thar är namnet på det stora ökenområde som breder ut sig i gränsområdet mellan A palynological and sedimentological study of samples from the Thar Coal Field (Lower Indus Basin), south eastern border of Sindh, Pakistan was performed. Thar is the name of the large desert extending into India and Pakistan and overlying rich coal deposits on both sides of the border. The Cenozoic coal deposits alternate with sandstones and in turn overlay the granitic basement rocks of the Indi

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to evaluate what possible impact an increased use of groundwater may have on the spread of nitrogen pollution. The work is part of a larger project where Sweco Environment AB assists about 40 farmers in the “Köpinge - Vrams vattenförening” to apply for authorization for groundwater use in agricultural irrigation. The work was performed in three steps: a literatur

Soaring prices for rare earth metals have led to significantly increased production costs for permanent magnet motors. This has motivated research into alternative motor types, one of them, the switched reluctance motor (SRM), will be discussed in this thesis. The SRM has several positive and negative characteristics as well as highly nonlinear dynamics. It is not clear how trade-offs between thes

When timber is used as a building material a connection is required between the elements in order to transfer the load. A typical connection is the steel to timber joint with nail as connectors. These connections can fail in ductile manner, causing the nails to reach their plastic moment capacity, or in brittle manner so called plug shear failure, causing the timber to fail in combined tension and

Utöver analysen av tidningarnas skildringar har ambitionen även varit att problematisera Edward Saids teorier om orientalism.

Gwadar port is a deep-sea port that lies at the southwestern coast of the Balochistan province. Since 2002, it has been given quite some attention; the government realized its potential of becoming a major hub port of the region, given its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, a sea passage through which a fifth of the world’s oil transit occurs. MOUs have been signed and commitments made in excess o

There has been an increasing engagement between China and Africa in recent years as reflected by the level of aid, trade and investment flows. Building on the data available on China’s development assistance flows into Africa together with China’s FDI stocks as a ‘strategic interest variable’ gives an insight into the considerations given to the allocation of development financing. The findings ba
