For a long time, the golden rapeseed fields that light up much of Europe in spring concealed a dark truth. The pesticides used – perfectly legally – to protect the harvest were also having severe effects on bumblebees and other wild bees. That was until a field study, the only one of its kind in the world, carried out by researchers at Lund University helped lead to the EU banning the chemicals in

It is widely known that diesel combustion in a compression ignition (CI) engine produces and emits a significant amount of particulate matter (PM) which contributes to degradation in both health and environment. The origin of the soot formation depends on several factors, however, the main source of the soot emissions is the combustion of the diesel fuel itself. To circumvent this issue, studies hIt is widely known that diesel combustion in a compression ignition (CI) engine produces and emits a significant amount of particulate matter (PM) which contributes to degradation in both health and environment.

In this paper an approach to extreme event control in wastewater treatment plant operation by use of automatic supervisory control is discussed. The framework presented is based on the fact that different operational conditions manifest themselves as clusters in a multivariate measurement space. These clusters are identified and linked to specific and corresponding events by use of principal compo
Fluorescence microscopy is introduced as a low cost quality control process for nanoimprint lithography. To depict imprinted structures down to 1 mum lateral size and to detect residues down to 100 nm lateral size, the standard printable polymer mr-18000 is labelled with less than 0.1 wt.% fluorescent dye. Three different types of stamps are used to determine the dependence of the shape and size o

In situations where robots are performing manipulation tasks, e.g. welding, grinding, and drilling, it is necessary to avoid excessive forces in the contact with the environment. Because of geometric uncertainty and finite positioning accuracy this usually cannot be solved by position control alone. The subject of this thesis is robot force control, with particular interest devoted to impedance co
This paper presents theoretical and experimental results on observer-based impedance control. Impedance control is a technique for robot force control, which is often used to deal with geometric uncertainty. The aim of this technique is to obtain a dynamic relation between position and force in interaction similar to Newton's second law. Here the velocity is used to modify the damping of the imped
Cognitive control is a skill used to control one’s own behaviour to reach a goal. We compared this skill across archosaurs by using the distraction task on American alligators, emus, chickens, and common ravens. We investigated whether the animals would still find a food reward hidden behind one of two identical opaque barriers after picking up a food distraction. Results show that all species can
More efficient solar cells that are ultra-thin and flexible. Cleaner fuel that uses light to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide. These are examples of discoveries that show how knowledge of light and materials can create new, more sustainable products for the future.
