Exposure to diesel exhaust is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and lung disease. Substituting petroleum diesel with renewable diesel can alter emission properties but the potential health effects remain unclear. This study aimed to explore toxicity and underlying mechanisms of diesel exhaust from renewable fuels. Using proximity extension assay (Olink), 92 proteins linked to inflam
The focus of the annual meeting 2020 was on nanotechnology solutions for life science problems featuring exciting talks and lively discussions. The format was a hybrid-meeting of sessions in the AF-borgen combined with streaming. Afterwards, the videos were edited and you can find them below. Nanotechnology solutions for Life Science problems The opening session started with an update by Heiner Li

When the sum is larger than the parts We explore properties emerging from correlations between electrons within single materials, from superlattices or chains of nanoparticles, and from larger scale meso-structure. The aim is to find materials with unconventional properties that make them suitable for applications in, for example, semiconductor, quantum or energy technology. Research areas:Aerosol

Pt-TiO2-C composites with different titanium oxide loading were synthesized by photo-deposition and chemical vapor deposition methods. The changes in their electronic properties improve the electrochemical activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) compared to the Pt-C catalyst synthesized at the same conditions. The platinum samples were physically characterized by means of Transmission
A method is suggested which allows truncation of the virtual space in Cholesky decomposition-based multiconfigurational perturbation theory (CD-CASPT2) calculations with systematic improvability of the results. The method is based on a modified version of the frozen natural orbital (FNO) approach used in coupled cluster theory. The idea is to exploit the near-linear dependence among the eigenvecto
Recent experiments at the CELSIUS storage ring of Uppsala, Sweden, have revealed the existence of high momentum transfer target-like fragments contrary to expectations. Recoiling heavy fragments in the reaction of 250 MCV/nucleon N-14 on Xe-131 have been measured at 10degrees with respect to the beam direction with specially designed recoil telescopes, Simulations with the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenb
The European pulp and paper industry (PPI) directly emits 31.9 Mton CO2 (2016) and indirectly 12.3 and 5 Mton CO2 from purchased electricity and transport respectively. It also accounts for 68 Mton of biogenic CO2 emissions. The PPI is a mature industry with overall stagnating market demand in the past ten years and relatively high levels of recycling. Forest countries like Sweden and Finland domi
In many raptors and owls the male is the main provider of food in the early phase of the nestling period while the female incubates the eggs and broods the young. In the nestling period the female often helps the male to feed the young, but the factors affecting whether and when she leaves the brood to hunt have not been investigated in detail. We present a dynamic state variable model that analys
By tightly focusing ultra-short pulses from a Ti:sapphire terawatt laser onto a high-Z metallic target, hard x-ray pulses of short duration are produced. In most of our previous work concerning x-rays, a 150 mJ laser pulse with a 110 A duration has been used. Using mostly tin and tantalum targets, hard x-rays in the 10-60 keV range have been produced and used in differential absorption imaging aro
Reflection seismic data were acquired in the Sudret area of Gotland between 6 and 13 November 2023. Objectives of the survey were to obtain images of the subsurface down to the Precambrian basement in the vicinity of two cored boreholes that had been drilled earlier down to about 800 m. The seismic profiles were positioned to provide a better understanding of the sedimentary strata and local struc
Title – Using Lean Practices to Develop Improvement Suggestions for a Warehouse: A case study of a company in the perishables industry Author – Leon Liljeqvist Supervisor – Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering – LTH, Lund University Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to improve the turnover of goods at the most prominent locations in the warehouse's
This paper estimates how electricity price divergence within Sweden has affected incentives to invest in photovoltaic (PV) generation between 2016 and 2022 based on a synthetic control approach. Sweden is chosen as the research subject since it is the only member of the European Union with multiple bidding zones (BZ) that faces dramatic price divergence between low-tariff BZ in Northern and high-t
The field of attosecond physics has expanded significantly in recent years, yet experimental facilities supporting attosecond pump–attosecond probe spectroscopy remain rare. Here, we present a newly constructed beamline for the generation and application of energetic, isolated extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray attosecond pulses via upscaling of high-harmonic generation (HHG) in a gas medium
Energy is the essential requirement of humans. It plays a major role in the development of any country. The present status of crude oil import of India in the financial year 2018-19 was around 22,64,98,000 MT of Rs. 7,83,183 crore and other fuels like LPG, MS, Naphtha, ATF, etc. were around 3,33,48,000 MT of Rs. 1,13,665 crore [1] and the total installed capacity of India is around 3,65,981.00 MW
The utilization of low calorific value gases (LCVG) in combustion devices presents particular challenges in terms of ignition and sustained combustion stability due to the presence of non-combustible components. Moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion has emerged as a promising technology for LCVG combustion, offering numerous advantages such as high combustion efficiency, reduce
