Popular science Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a versatile group of non-methane hydrocarbons (chemical compounds made of carbon and hydrogen) emitted by vegetation. The most common BVOCs from plants are some chemical compounds like isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. BVOCs are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense mechanisms. Besides, BVOC play an important rol
Maritime transport faces increasing pressure to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to be in accordance with the Paris Agreement. For this to happen, low- and zero-carbon energy solutions need to be developed. In this paper we draw on sustainability transition literature and introduce the technological innovation system (TIS) framework to the field of maritime transportation research. The TIS appr

The typical catalyst layers (CLs) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are fabricated as random heterogeneous composites to meet the multifunctional requirements of transport phenomena and electrochemical activity. The employment of Pt nano-particles, carbonaceous substrates and Nafion ionomers in CLs allows effective diffusion of hydrogen and oxygen, transport and phase change of water
Developing high-temperature proton exchange membranes (HT-PEMs) that simultaneously achieve high proton conductivity, strong phosphoric acid (PA) retention, and long-term chemical stability remains a major challenge, particularly due to PA-induced plasticization and radical-induced oxidative degradation. Here, we develop a side-chain engineering strategy to decouple PA-binding sites from the polym
The aim of this master thesis is to conclude how the energy systems of smart cities can be designed to achieve an annual net-zero energy consumption. The study investigated different techniques that can be used for producing and storing energy locally. This was implemented on a planned residential project located in Veberöd, south of Scania. Hence, the heating and domestic hot water demand were ba
In this study, batch biohydrogen production by co-digestion of raw rice straw and activated sewage sludge was investigated with different inoculum heat treatment, pH, S/X ratio (based on VS) and substrate sizes under mesophilic condition. In order to achieve a high bio-hydrogen yield and methanogens activity inhibition, heat treatment of inoculum was optimized at different exposure times (30, 45 &
The Swedish title docent more or less corresponds to a British reader or an American associate professor, and is a well known denomination also for most English speaking academics. To avoid confusion, we have therefore chosen to use just that title when speaking of this particular course. The Docent course is a course in preparation for appointment as a docent at LTH, as well as a qualifying cours

The thesis comprises an analysis of the heat transfer phenomenon in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and a description of various transport phenomena in a solid oxide electrolysis cell. Both devices are encompassed under the solid oxide electrochemical cell concept. Moreover, a CFD model of an SOEC was developed to study the behavior of the cell under different conditions of operating and structural

Energigemenskaper lyfts som en del i omställningen till ett mer hållbart energisystem, där lokal produktion, lagring och delning av energi kan öka användningen av förnybar energi. Samtidigt innebär ny teknik en ökad klimatpåverkan i tillverkningsskedet, vilket gör att den totala klimatnyttan inte är självklar. Idag är det svenska elsystemet redan till stor del fossilfritt och förutsättningarna ski
We have studied van der Waals contacts of the carotenoid rhodopin glucoside (RG) with the bacteriochlorophyll pigments absorbing at 800 nm (B800) in the crystal structure of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, and the hydrogen positions were determined from quantum chemical calculations at the Hartree–Fock (6-31G) level. We have found strong evidence for hydrogen bonding between the B800 BChl and the
The Paris Agreement necessitates global net-zero emissions by mid-century, including steel industry emissions that currently amount to about 7% of global energy system emissions. In this article we review the literature on steel decarbonization. Steel industry emission mitigation measures include reduced demand through materials efficiency, increased high-quality recycling, and decarbonization of
Det här examensarbetet beskriver produktutvecklingsprocessen av en förvaringslösning till en återanvändbar autoinjektor bestående av en återanvändbar enhet och en engångsenhet innehållande läkemedel. Syftet var att förstå användarna och den miljö som injektorn används i för att undersöka möjligheterna i att skapa mervärde i ett förvaringskoncept. Projektet utfördes på uppdrag av SHL Group, ett värThis master thesis describes the product development process of a storage solution for a reusable auto injector concept consisting of a reusable unit and a disposable unit that contains the drug. The purpose was to understand the users and the environment that the injector is used in to investigate in the possibilities of creating added value in a storage solution concept.

Abstract To develop a genetic system for the extreme thermophile Caldicellulosirruptor saccharolyticus is the next step in improving hydrogen productivities. Genetic systems are powerful tools to understand the metabolic network of the microorganism and to obtain high hydrogen productivities and yields. The primary aim of this project is to develop an expression vector for C. saccharolyticus. Pre
The interaction of antikaons with nucleons and nuclei in the low-energy regime represents an active research field in hadron physics with still many important open questions. The investigation of light kaonic atoms, in which one electron is replaced by a negatively charged kaon, is a unique tool to provide precise information on this interaction; the energy shift and the broadening of the low-lyin
