Byggproduktion idag, innebär bland annat en hög energianvändning, utsläpp av växthusgaser, användning av miljöfarliga ämnen samt stora mängder avfall som måste hanteras. Detta är aspekter som samtliga behöver minskas för att reducera branschens stora miljöpåverkan. Inom byggsektorn har klimatarbetet fått en alltmer ökad uppmärksamhet med införandet av olika klimatkrav på nationell och EU-nivå. I oCarbon offsets, essential in climate-related aspirations for governments and businesses, entail reducing, avoiding, or extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, even if not contemporaneous with emissions. They include, among others, energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy investments. These compensations, voluntary or regulated, must meet reliability criteria. Actions, such as Carbo

Adipocytes play a central role in energy balance, and dysfunctional adipose tissue severely affects systemic energy homeostasis. The ATPase EH domain-containing 2 (EHD2) has previously been shown to regulate caveolae, plasma membrane-specific domains that are involved in lipid uptake and signal transduction. Here, we investigated the role of EHD2 in adipocyte function. We demonstrate that EHD2 pro

Ultra-low power (ULP) biomedical implants and sensor nodes typically require small memories of a few kb, while previous work on reliable subthreshold (sub-VT) memories targets several hundreds of kb. Standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are a straightforward approach to realize robust sub- VT storage arrays and fill the gap of missing sub-VT memory compilers. This paper presents an ultra-low-leakag

Oat is a cereal that contains high lipid content when compared to other cereals and is a potential oil crop. Oats also have high content of lipase enzymes when compared to other cereals, that causes hydrolytic rancidity which causes the soapy bitter taste that may develop in oats. Therefore, oats that are intended for human consumption are heat treated to inactivate lipase enzymes and thus, to imp

Efficient use of energy becomes increasingly important in the modern society, with climate change as a driving factor. Short term production planning for district heating networks is motivated by a customer demand that varies according to a daily cycle, but which is directly dependent on changes in temperature and customer behaviour. The planning involves challenges in modeling of production unit

A thematic collaboration initiative at Lund University Malmö, Helsingborg and Lund aim to be climate-neutral cities by 2030. Lund University, in partnership with Malmö University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Alnarp), is supporting their climate goals through research and collaboration. Accelerating the transformation towards climate-neutral cities will require a mutual exch

A life cycle assessment is presented for a current vehicle’s greenhouse gas impact when using a combination of electrification and renewable fuels. Three degrees of electrification are considered: a hybrid electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and a battery-electric vehicle. These are combined with fuels with various degrees of renewable content, representing a fossil fuel, a first-

Due to increasing oil price and environmental concerns, current European initiatives are aiming to increase the share of Biofuel used for transportation from approx. 2 % (2005) to 5.75% in 2010. The production capacity of bioethanol in Germany alone has therefore to increase during this period from 0.7 mio. m³ to 1.8 mio. m³ 1. The feed stocks of current bioethanol concepts are sugar and starch

Attosecond pulses produced by high-order harmonic generation in gases driven by intense laser fields have become a cornerstone technique for probing ultrafast electronic motion in matter. These applications require a good knowledge of the temporal and spectral properties of the emitted radiation. In this work, we generate a train of two to three attosecond pulses that we characterize using two-col

A transcription of the mid-winter special episode, or the zeroth episode of season two. Nic:  This is a special holiday episode of the Meridian. Your hosts for this episode are me and Rebecca and our producer Anna, of course.  We are coming to you on the 21st of September 2021.   Rebecca:  Which is happens to be the winter solstice.   Nic:  It's actually the summer solstice.   Rebecca:  Or the win

This thesis analyses the interrelations of economic complexity, greenhouse gas emissions, and renewable energy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), using annual data from 1998 to 2018. Economic development in the region is characterised by the exploitation of natural resources and low economic sophistication. At the same time, a dynamic renewable energy market has developed in LAC. The Enviro

Organic polymer-based solar cells recently attracted much attention as an efficient and inexpensive light-to-electricity conversion solution. However, the mechanism behind charge generation processes in organic materials is still not fully understood due to complex nature of carbon-based compounds. Studies of charge generation, recombination and transport processes are essential for revealing the

Few-cycle laser pulses are fundamental for tracking ultrashort motions such as electron dynamics and achieving stronger fields. They are also extensively used to perform high-harmonic generation and in attosecond science. However, generating stable and high quality few-cycle pulses requires a simultaneous control of bandwidth and dispersion. The generation of few-cycle pulses in an efficient manne

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered by some to be a critical climate change mitigation technology, and a key element in efforts to limit the global temperature increases in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Implementation of CCS in mitigation scenarios assumes that it provides cost-effective emission reductions, and/or can achieve negative emissions when combined with bioenerg
