The production of commodities by energy-intensive industry is responsible for 1/3 of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The climate goal of the Paris Agreement, to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels while pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C, requires global GHG emissions reach net-zero and probably

Popular Abstract in English For several decades the electronic industry has developed towards smaller and smaller electronic components. The idea behind this development is quite simple: Small components have faster response times, which enables faster devices. Also, smaller components make it possible to decrease the size of the devices. A common example is today's mobile phones, that actually arThis dissertation deals with the effects of coherence and correlations on transport through nanostructures. Simulations are mainly performed using the second order von Neumann approach, a method capable of dealing with these effects in the presence of higher order tunneling. We see that such effects can result in various kinds of current suppression as well as efficient thermoelectric devices. Fu

Three injection strategies are compared in a light-duty (LD) diesel engine at a medium load point. One strategy, representative of a Euro 6 LD injection strategy, has a double-pilot/main/single-post sequence. There is a modest temporal spacing after the first pilot and second pilot. Additional strategies add a third pilot and greatly reduce the spacing after the pilots. These pilots are referred t

Vehicle to everything (V2x) communication is one of the most researched topics today. The main goal behind this new emerging technology is road safety along with traffic and energy efficiency. Vehicular communications can further be sub-divided into certain types. One such type is vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, which is the focus of this thesis. V2V is either Wireless Local Area Network (

Hur kan vår vattenanvändning bli mer hållbar? Hur kan vi minska vår förbrukning av dricksvatten? Med stigande temperaturer, klimatförändringar och ökande befolkning blir dessa frågor allt viktigare. Ett förslag är att dra ner på vår dricksvattenkonsumption genom att använda regnvatten. Regnvatten kan användas till att spola i våra toalettstolar, till tvättmaskiner och till bevattning. Men hur kan How can our water consumption become more sustainable? How can our consumption of drinking water decrease? With increasing temperatures, climate changes, and population growth the questions becomes more important. To address this, a suggestion of reducing our drinking water consumption by utilizing rainwater is proposed. Rainwater can be used to flush our toilets, to wash clothes, and for irrigati

To maintain stability in the Swedish electricity grid, Svenska kraftnät must be able to predict future electricity production and consumption. Earlier this have been done by using historical data. Now the complexity of the system has increased, because the growing amount of electricity from non­dispatchable sources as well as the impact of climate change. Thus using only historical data will give

En stor andel av Skånes landbaserade vindkraft närmar sig slutet av sin tekniska livslängd, samtidigt som behovet av ökad fossilfri elproduktion är stort. Istället för att avveckla och nedmontera den åldrande vindkraften trycker EU på behovet av repowering, vilket innebär att istället ersätta delar av eller hela vindkraftverk. Detta utgör ett potentiellt kostnadseffektivt sätt att öka elproduktionA large share of onshore wind power in Skåne is approaching the end of its technical lifetime, while the demand for increased fossil-free electricity generation is substantial. Rather than decommissioning and dismantling aging wind power assets, the EU emphasizes the need for repowering, which entails replacing parts of or entire wind turbines. Repowering represents a potentially cost-effective wa

In the study presented in this paper a single-cylinder Scania D12 diesel engine has been converted to work as a pneumatic hybrid. During pneumatic hybrid operation, the engine can be used as a 2-stroke compressor for generation of compressed air during vehicle deceleration and during vehicle acceleration the engine can be operated as an air-motor driven by the previously stored pressurized air. T

HfO2, one of the most common materials in resistive switching devices, can stabilize in a ferroelectric orthorhombic phase, enabling two nonvolatile polarization states via oxygen displacement in the unit cell. Under certain conditions, ferroelectric and resistive switching can coexist, independently addressable, within one device. This study employs operando spectroscopic analysis to elucidate th

In addition to an increase in mean temperature, extreme climatic events, such as heat waves, are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change, which are likely to affect organism interactions, seasonal succession, and resting stage recruitment patterns in terrestrial as well as in aquatic ecosystems. For example, freshwater zooplankton with different life-history strategies

A tandem solar cell consisting of a III-V nanowire subcell on top of a planar Si subcell is a promising candidate for next generation photovoltaics due to the potential for high efficiency. However, for success with such applications, the geometry of the system must be optimized for absorption of sunlight. Here, we consider this absorption through optics modeling. Similarly, as for a bulk dual-jun

Current physical resource management (PRM) was investigated in a global perspective in this thesis, to gain a deeper understanding of its implications in a sustainability perspective. In particular, the main challenges to the current PRM system and the kinds of systemic changes needed for sustainable PRM were examined. In five separate studies, different theoretical and practical challenges to cur

The production of charm jets in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=7 TeV was measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is based on a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 6.23 nb−1, collected using a minimum-bias trigger. Charm jets are identified by the presence of a D0 meson among their constituents. The D0 m
