  1. 1. Capacitive Mixing for Extracting Concentration Gradient Energy

    Författare :Zhi Zou; Longcheng Liu; Chia-Hung Hou; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; capacitive mixing; salinity gradient energy; salt difference energy; electric double layer; flow electrode CapMix; kapacitiv blandning; salthaltsgradientenergi; saltskillnadsenergi; elektriskt dubbelskikt; flödeselektrod CapMix.; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Capacitive mixing (CapMix) is a renewable method of extracting energy from the salinity gradient energy (SGE) between seawater and freshwater. The classical CapMix systems using solid electrodes generate electricity by periodically circulating seawater and freshwater into the CapMix system. LÄS MER

  2. 2. First principles methods for electronic structure calculations of solids

    Författare :Martin Springer; Matematisk fysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; screened interaction; T-matrix; vertex function; GW approximation; Green function; density functional theory; gradient expansion; order N method; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : A straightforward gradient expansion of the exchange energy of a perturbed electron gas is performed. Studied perturbations range from very weak to those that produce, e.g., a silicon-like band structure with a band gap. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Strain Gradient Plasticity Modelling of Precipitation Strengthening

    Författare :Mohammadali Asgharzadeh; Jonas Faleskog; Samuel Forest; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The introduction of particles and precipitates into a matrix material results in strengthening effects. The two main mechanisms involved in this matter are referred to as Orowan and shearing. To numerically study this phenomenon is the motivation to the research done, which is presented here in this thesis. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Molecular Profiling of the Population Dynamics : Foundation and Expansion of an Archaic Domesticate

    Författare :Arman Ardalan; Peter Savolainen; Love Dalén; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dog; wolf; dingo; mtDNA; NRY; SNP; Madagascar; Australia; domestication;

    Sammanfattning : "An ‘exponential growth of science’ throughout modern history has been frequently boasted by numerous narcissistic accounts of ‘modern humanity.’ Nonetheless, ‘modern science’ seems to have overwhelmingly compromised on its original promises by fitting into an ‘industrial scheme.

  5. 5. The significance of ethylene and ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTORS in wood formation of hybrid aspen

    Författare :Bernard Wessels; Hannele Tuominen; Judith Felten; Totte Niittylä; Kurt Fagerstedt; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ethylene; wood formation; hybrid aspen; Populus; ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR; ERF85; ERF139; cambium; lignin; xylem expansion; secondary cell wall; tension wood; cambial derivative cell fate; vessel element; time-lapse photography; molekylär bioteknik inst f nat vet biokemi ; molecular biotechnology dept of biochem ; genetik; Genetics; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik;

    Sammanfattning : The woody tissues serve to stabilise plants, store nutrients and translocate water and minerals. The formation of wood, or ’secondary xylem’, follows a well-defined developmental gradient which is initiated by cell division activity in the vascular cambium. LÄS MER
