Popular Abstract in English Most of us are familiar with using plant-derived material such as wood for producing heat for warming the cottages or cooking food when we are camping. Apart from that, plant-derived materials such as trees, forest residues, grasses, agricultural crops, agricultural residues and straw have great potential in producing energy in a larger scale. This group of material is In this thesis, a numerical approach is adopted to study biomass thermochemical conversion. Detailed physical and chemical processes involved in the thermochemical conversion of biomass are considered. The aims are to improve the understanding of the physical and chemical processes involved and to develop and validate mathematical models for numerical simulation of the biomass conversion process.

Cities are the pinnacle of human change to the environment, creating unique types of ecosystems which present many challenges to local organisms: habitat fragmentation, introduced species, and various pollutants. Being crucibles of anthropogenic effects, urban ecosystems offer opportunities to understand how humans impact nature. Moreover, since a majority of the world’s population resides in citiCities are the pinnacle of human change to the environment, creating unique types of ecosystems which present many challenges to local organisms: habitat fragmentation, introduced species, and various pollutants.

This paper concerns Sec. 23 the Codetermination at Work Act, and the necessary conditions for when a collective agreement is considered to exist and the relevance of contract of law when it is applied. The idea is to point at areas within contract of law that becomes particularly important at the application. The paper begins with a chapter that, in short terms, describes the background within co

This report aims at finding methods for reducing the errors in district heating load forecasts by suggesting a method for online correction of the base forecast. Online correction is generally carried out by utilizing patterns in the historic prediction errors. Traditionally the correction has been made using a correction method detailed by a few governing parameters. Values for these parameters a

The rapid globalization has led to a rise in the number of multinational corporations. One common objective among these corporations when expanding to other developed markets is to access intangible resources such as knowledge. Through the acquisition of knowledge, corporations can strengthen their strategic position and improve their competitiveness. When operating across national borders, variou

This study investigates whether event construal of placement events varies between Mandarin Chinese and German speakers by comparing how native speakers of the respective languages speak and gesture about placement events. It has been argued that there are universal constraints on how languages encode placement events. However, languages arguably differ in their semantic divisions of placement eve

bstract The real estate sector in Sweden has long been characterized by high entry barriers, strict regulations, and a high demand for large initial capital. These factors make it challenging for new ventures to succeed in the market. With this background, it seems relevant to understand which driving factors can be related to entrepreneurial success. This study researches how specific characteris

Wind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas. Ventifacts are recorded on at least two different stratigraphic levels, on top of glaciofluvial sediment and/or on top of littoral deposits, while aeolian sand usually forms a surficial cover. The formation of ventifacts has usual

A directional crack growth prediction in a compressed homogenous elastic isotropic material under plane strain conditions is considered. The conditions at the parent crack tip are evaluated for a straight stationary crack. Remote load is a combined biaxial compressive normal stress and pure shear. Crack surfaces are assumed to be frictionless and to remain closed during the kink formation whereforA directional crack growth prediction in a compressed homogenous elastic isotropic material under plane strain conditions is considered.

This paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production. The aim is to develop an established cost model to also take sustainability into consideration and hence evaluate sustainable production on the shop floor. To facilitate the analyse literature have been studied to find indicators for sustainable production. The indicators have then been mapped together with parThis paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production.

The implementation of market solutions has been widely attempted in many different parts of the public sector. This chapter concerns a groundbreaking social reform, which introduced personal assistants for ‘functionally impaired’ people. It was a far-reaching and liberating reform aimed at making disabled people part of society. It replaced collective institutional care with individual choice, in The implementation of market solutions has been widely attempted in many different parts of the public sector.

The reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(II1) complexes Au(NH,)?+, rrans-Au- (NH,)zC12t, and rrans-A~(NH,)~Br~+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(1) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH,)?+ and thiocThe reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(III) complexes Au(NH3)43+, trans-Au(NH3)2C12+, and trans-Au(NH3)2Br2+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(I) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH3)43+ and thioc

All kinds of disputes arising from a commercial contract do not necessarily have to be brought before a court or an arbitral panel; market practice exhibits a great diversity of alternative ways of dispute resolution. This includes the inspection clause and the valuation clause, which are the dispute resolution methods scrutinized in this essay. Inspection clauses could for instance be found in co

In today society people live longer and along with the rising life expectancy chronic diseases, like dementia, will become more common. The demand on more and better assistive technology, technology that ease the everyday life for the persons with dementia, will increase. The assistive technology currently recommended by occupational therapists are mainly low-technological solutions. There exist

In an effort to improve our understanding of the etiology and treatment of disorders involving symptoms of anxiety and depression, researchers have set out to identify psychological traits that may leave an individual vulnerable to experiencing intense negative emotional reactions. Included among these vulnerabilities are a person’s ability to tolerate negative emotional states (Distress Tolerance

Trafficking in human beings (THB) is internationally recognized as a security threat and one of the most severe violations of the individual’s right to freedom. The European Union (EU) has adopted this definition and acknowledges the need for transnational coordination. In 2011, the EU introduced Directive 2011/36/EU, committing Member States to a common legal framework against human trafficking.
