21. Atom Probe Tomography of Hydrogen and of Grain Boundaries in Corroded Zircaloy-2
Sammanfattning : Due to their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, zirconium alloys are widely used in the nuclear industry for fuel cladding and structural components. The lifetime of the fuel assemblies in the reactors are largely dictated by the ability of the fuel cladding to withstand corrosion and mechanical damage. LÄS MER
22. Molecular and Spatial Profiling of Prostate Tumors
Sammanfattning : Every cancer tumor is unique, with characteristics that change over time. The evolution of a full-blown malignancy from a single cell that gives rise to a heterogeneous population of cancer cells is a complex process. LÄS MER
23. Microstructure of Zirconium Alloys Oxidized in Steam
Sammanfattning : Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors as fuel cladding tubes because of their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, good corrosion properties and satisfactory mechanical properties. However, the main limiting factor of these materials is the oxidation behavior. LÄS MER
24. Essays on Social Distance, Institutions, and Economic Growth
Sammanfattning : Paper 1: Country Size and the Rule of Law: Resuscitating Montesquieu In this paper, we demonstrate that there is a robust negative relationship between the size of country territory and a measure of the rule of law for a large cross-section of countries. We outline a theoretical framework featuring two main reasons for this regularity; firstly that institutional quality often has the character of a local public good that is imperfectly spread across space from the core of the country to the hinterland, and secondly that a large territory usually is accompanied by valuable rents and a lack of openness that both tend to distort property rights institutions.

25. Modelling flow with free and rough surfaces in the vicinity of hydropower plants
Sammanfattning : Flow with free and rough surfaces near hydropower stations is of interest for both engineering and environmental applications. Here, Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of free surface flow and flow over rough surfaces in regulated rivers were performed in applications such fish migration, spillway design and flow over rough surfaces as in hydropower tunnels or natural channels.
