  1. 1. NOUR - Daylighting and thermal effects of windows in desert houses

    Författare :Djamel Ouahrani; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal simulation; Solar aspects; Housing architecture; Ghardaia; Desert; Daylighting simulation; Daylighting; Data collecting; Data analysis; Culture; Climate adaption; Algeria; Architecture; Traditional architecture; Windows; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : This study is on a combined effect of window, the daylighting and the thermal effects, in desert houses. It is comprised of two complementary studies. In the introduction a historical review on the development of use daylight has been carried out in order to place the case study in a historical perspective. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Climate Change Adaption of Waterworks for Browning Surface Waters : Nano- and Ultrafiltration Membrane Applications for Drinking Water Treatment

    Författare :Alexander Keucken; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Natural organic matter NOM ; drinking water; ultrafiltration; nanofiltration; autopsy; modelling;

    Sammanfattning : Natural organic matter (NOM) is found in all surface, ground, and soil waters. During recent decades, reports worldwide show a continuing increase in the color and NOM of the surface water, which has an adverse effect on drinking water purification. For several practical and hygienic reasons, the presence of NOM is undesirable in drinking water. LÄS MER

  4. 3. An evaluation of solar powered irrigation as carbon offset projects

    Författare :Alexander Olsson; Jinyue Yan; Björn Frostell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon offset; carbon sequestration; clean development mechanism; climate change adaptation; desertification; solar power water pumping; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon offsets have been developed as one tool to incentivise investments by developed nations in climate change mitigation activities in developing countries. The carbon offsets can be used towards the countries’ own mitigation targets but are also meant to benefit developing countries by providing a pathway to clean development. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cloud Studies with the Droplet Aerosol Analyzer

    Författare :Maria Berghof; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cloud; Aerosol; DAA;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change and atmospheric aerosols are a threat for human health and life. Reducing aerosol emissions would save human lives close to the aerosol source, but could lead to more death due to the implications of a warmer climate. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Complex Trait Genetics : Beyond Additivity

    Författare :Simon Forsberg; Örjan Carlborg; Julien Ayroles; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genetic interactions; epistasis; additivity; GWAS; vGWAS; Genetic mapping; yeast; Arabidopsis Thaliana; dog; Genetik; Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : The link between the genotype and the phenotype of an organism is immensely complex. Despite this it can, to a great extent, be captured using models that assume that gene variants combine their effects in an additive manner. This thesis explores aspects of genetics that cannot be fully captured using such additive models. LÄS MER
