1. 16. On the impact of temperature perturbations on the creep of sensitive clay

   Författare :Yanling Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermal cycles; sensitive clays; oedometer tests; temperature; natural bonding; apparent preconsolidation pressure; multi-physics modelling; geothermal; static thermal loading;

   Sammanfattning : Temperature affects the soil response, but is not fully understood and quantified and thus often ignored. The temperature fluctuations resulting from energy foundations and construction activities, such as excavations and soil stabilization, however, may lead to changes in the hydromechanical response of the clay.

3. 17. Energy Efficient Eradication of Legionella in Hot Water Systems

   Författare :Lobna Altorkmany; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vattenteknik; Water Resources Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Disease related to unsafe water, poor sanitation, and lack of hygiene is some of the most common causes of illness and death all around the world. Since the first detection of Legionella in Philadelphia 1976, Legionella is recognized to cause Legionellosis which is associated with two distinct forms: Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever.

4. 18. Stainless Steel Corrugated Web Girders for Composite Road Bridges: Concept Evaluation and Flange Buckling Resistance

   Författare :Fatima Hlal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Investment cost; Genetic algorithm; Duplex stainless steel; LCC; Corrugated web; Flange buckling resistance; Optimization; Composite bridges; LCA; Road bridges;

   Sammanfattning : Achieving a sustainable bridge design requires careful consideration of economic viability and environmental impact over the entire lifespan of the structure. While stainless steel is recognized for its excellent life cycle performance, its high cost prevents it from being used to a larger extent in bridges. LÄS MER

5. 19. Towards cost-effective tuberculosis control in the Western Cape of South Africa : intervention study involving lay health workers on agricultural farms

   Författare :Marina Clarke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Agriculture; Community Health Worker CHW ; Cost-effectiveness; Directly Observed Treatment DOT ; Directly Observed Treatment Choice; Directly Observed Treatment Short course DOTS ; Farming; Farmers; Farm Dwellers; Farm workers; Farm Health; Lay Health Worker LHW ; Tuberculosis TB ; and Randomised Control Trial RCT ;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: At the request of the fanning community, the local public health authority in a tuberculosis (TB) high-burdened area implemented a farm-based lay health worker (LHW) project focusing on TB control. This project achieved a significantly better (15%) treatment adherence rate among adult TB patients. LÄS MER

7. 20. Factors influencing the outcome of renovation projects

   Sammanfattning : In Sweden, housing accounts for about 23% of all energy consumption. Sweden wants to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045; as such, it is likely that energy-saving measures for housing will be needed. Many existing buildings have been in operation for 50 years or more and are therefore in need of modernisation. LÄS MER
