31. Carbon gas biogeochemistry of a northern peatland - in a dynamic permafrost landscape
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about biogeochemical processes of a northern peatland and their importance as a link between the climate and the terrestrial system. Increased temperatures on a global level, and particularly in the Arctic, have led to melting permafrost and changes in hydrology. LÄS MER
32. Lung aeration and pulmonary gas exchange during general and epidural anaesthesia : Influenced by inspired oxygen concentration and diaphragm shape
Sammanfattning : Induction of general anaesthesia causes a rapid decrease in functional residual capacity, which can promote alveolar collapse (atelectasis) and airway closure in dependent lung regions. Mismatching of ventilation and perfusion (VA/Q) in the lungs is accompanied by impairment of pulmonary gas exchange. LÄS MER
33. Investigations of proton conducting polymers and gas diffusion electrodes in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell
Sammanfattning : Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) convert the chemically bound energy in a fuel, e.g. hydrogen, directly into electricity by an electrochemical process. Examples of future applications are energy conversion such as combined heat and power generation (CHP), zero emission vehicles (ZEV) and consumer electronics. LÄS MER
34. Nanoparticles based molecular electronic devices with tunable molecular functionalization shell and gas sensing measurements
Sammanfattning : The idea to use molecules as a basic building block in electronic circuits was developed about 50 years ago when a molecular rectifier was developed, but it has been a challenge for this field to make its way to real-world application. Now, due to the advancement in technologies, the properties of single molecules are better understandable and controllable. LÄS MER
35. Air-sea exchange of O2 and CO2 : Processes controlling the transfer efficiency
Sammanfattning : World oceans cover more than 70% of the earth surface and constitutes a major sink of atmospheric CO2. Two of the most important gases in the marine carbon cycling are O2 and CO2 and hence accurate descriptions of the air-sea gas exchange of these gases are crucial. LÄS MER
