1. Underwater Electrical Connections and Remotely Operated Vehicles
Sammanfattning : Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are underwater robots that perform different kind of operations, from observation to heavier tasks like drilling, carrying and pulling cables, etc. Those ROVs are costly and require skilled personal to operate it as well as equipment for transportation and deployment (boats, cranes, etc.).

2. Hydrodynamic Modeling of the Energy Conversion from Ocean Waves to Electricity
Sammanfattning : Research within wave energy conversion has seen a large increase during the last years. Several concepts are now taking the final steps towards commercialization. LÄS MER
3. Hydrodynamic Modelling for a Point Absorbing Wave Energy Converter
Sammanfattning : Surface gravity waves in the world’s oceans contain a renewable source of free power on the order of terawatts that has to this date not been commercially utilized. The division of Electricity at Uppsala University is developing a technology to harvest this energy. LÄS MER
4. 11C Molecular Imaging in Focal Epilepsy
Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is a common neurological disease affecting 6 million people in Europe. Early prevention and accurate diagnosis and treatment are of importance to obtain seizure freedom. In this thesis new applications of carbon-11-labelled tracers in PET and autoradiographic studies were explored in focal epilepsy. LÄS MER
5. Wave Power for Desalination
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis presents work related to wave powered desalination. Wave power for desalination could be an interesting alternative for islands or coastal regions facing freshwater shortage, and several systems have been proposed in literature. However, desalination is a process which demands a lot of energy. LÄS MER
