1. Risk of spontaneous fires at temporary storages sites for organic material, waste fuels and recyclables: Quantification and mitigation
Sammanfattning : Economic and environmental constraints have created increasing demand for (material and energy recovery) and recycling of waste generated from households, commercial and industrial activities. A wide variety of materials waiting for sorting, recovery, recycling and disposal are stored at temporary storage sites (TSS) where physical, biotic and abiotic processes can lead the stored material to spontaneous ignition.

2. Route attribution of chemical warfare agents : Retrospective classification of unknown threat samples
Sammanfattning : Although chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are prohibited under international law, there have been numerous crimes that violates the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) during the last decade, especially in the civil war in Syria where sarin, mustard gas and chlorine have all been used. CWAs have also been used in political assassinations and attempts thereof. LÄS MER
3. Towards a flexible statistical modelling by latent factors for evaluation of simulated responses to climate forcings
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, using the principles of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the cause-effect concept associated with structural equation modelling (SEM), a new flexible statistical framework for evaluation of climate model simulations against observational data is suggested. The design of the framework also makes it possible to investigate the magnitude of the influence of different forcings on the temperature as well as to investigate a general causal latent structure of temperature data.

4. Social causality in motion : Visual bias and categorization of social interactions during the observation of chasing in infancy
Sammanfattning : Since the seminal work of Fritz Heider and Marienne Simmel (1944) the study of animacy perception, or the perception and attribution of life from the motion of simple geometrical shapes has intrigued researchers. The intrigue for psychologists and vision scientists then and today centered on the stark disconnect between the simplicity of the visual input and the universal richness of the resulting percept.

5. Gamma Spectrometric Measurements Of Nuclear Material For Nuclear Forensic Purposes
Sammanfattning : Nuclear forensics is a scientific discipline that aims to aid in criminal investigations concerning illicit use of nuclear and other radioactive material. The discipline aims to find signatures within the nuclear material that can help to find the attribution, or the origin and intended use of the seized material. LÄS MER
