  1. 1. Masking Moments : The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia

    Författare :Ing-Marie Back Danielsson; Bo Petré; Julian Thomas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Masking practices; masks; transitions; Iron Age; Scandinavia; kuml; body; metaphorical thinking; miniaturization; queer theory; feminism; sex; gender; personhood; rune stones; gold foil figures; oral literacy; food preparation; burials; Archaeology; North European; Arkeologi; nordeuropeisk; arkeologi; Archaeology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores bodily representations in Late Iron Age Scandinavia (400–1050 AD). Non-human bodies, such as gold foil figures, and human bodies are analysed. The work starts with an examination and deconstruction of the sex/gender categories to the effect that they are considered to be of minor value for the purposes of the thesis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Wind Turbine Noise and Natural Sounds : Masking, Propagation and Modeling

    Författare :Karl Bolin; Mats Åbom; Jens Forssén; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind turbine noise; models of natural sound sources; masking; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Sammanfattning : Wind turbines are an environmentally friendly and sustainable power source. Unfortunately, the noise impact can cause deteriorated living conditions for nearby residents. The audibility of wind turbine sound is influenced by ambient sound. This thesis deals with some aspects of noise from wind turbines. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Masking environmental feedback : Misfits between institutions and ecosystems in Belize and Thailand

    Författare :Miriam Huitric; Carl Folke; Nils Kautsky; Juan Carlos Castilla; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marine reserves; ecosystem change; sequential exploitation; pathology of resource use; institutions; driving forces; coral reefs; social-ecological systems; mangroves; aquaculture; Belize; Thailand; Maine; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis analyses relationships between ecological and social systems in the context of coastal ecosystems. It examines human impacts from resource extraction and addresses management and governance behind resource exploitation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Liquid metal microscale deposition for soft and stretchable skin-like electronics : Providing a soft and gentle contact to living beings

    Författare :Bei Wang; Klas Hjort; Zhigang Wu; Magnus Berggren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laser patterning; sacrificial mask; liquid metal; strain sensor; skin movement; masking; shrink film; 3D conformal masking; liquid metal particles; soft electronics; stretchable electronics; compliant electronics; skin-like electronics; epidermal electronics; micro-heater; particle sintering; enteroendocrine cells; localized ectopic expression; wettability; flexography printing; conformal transfer printing; hydro printing; plant physiology; drosophila;

    Sammanfattning : Skin-like electronics could provide a soft and gentle contact with living beings for perceiving and delivering the information of pressure, strain, temperature with higher spatial resolution and sensitivity than our skin, without disturbing the user. Gallium-based liquid metal (LM) is an excellent material for soft and stretchable skin-like devices, since it has high electrical and thermal conductivity, flowability, and self-healable capability.

  7. 5. Noise from wind turbines

    Författare :Olivier Fégeant; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; masking; vibration transmission; diffraction; ambient noise; pseudo-noise; cylindrical shell. Perturbation methods; structural mobility; axoustic outdoor measurement; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : A rapid growth of installed wind power capacity is expectedin the next few years. However, the siting of wind turbines ona large scale raises concerns about their environmental impact,notably with respect to noise. LÄS MER
