  1. 16. Acute cardiovascular effects of biofuel exhaust exposure

    Författare :Jon Unosson; Jenny A Bosson; Anders Blomberg; Jeremy P Langrish; Campen Matthew; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular; air pollution; endothelial dyssfunction; arterial stiffness; wood smoke; woodsmoke; biodiesel; RME; biofuel; diesel exhaust;

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundAnthropogenic air pollution is a global health problem estimated to contribute to millions of premature deaths. Exposure to biomass smoke is common due to varying sources, such as wildfires, indoor cooking over open fires, and residential heating from wood stoves. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is driving the development of CO2 reducing technologies within the transportation industry. One of the most promising technologies is battery electric vehicles. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Delays and Timetabling for Passenger Trains

    Författare :Carl-William Palmqvist; Trafik och väg; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail; delay; timetable; train; punctuality; Rail transportation;

    Sammanfattning : Travel by train has increased steadily in Sweden the last 30 years. The pace has been about two to three percent per year, and we now have twice as many passengers. With growing awareness of the changing climate, the pace is increasing further. A problem that affects both passengers and businesses in Sweden is train delays. LÄS MER

  5. 19. High Octane Number Fuels in Advanced Combustion Modes for Sustainable Transportation

    Författare :Amir Bin Aziz; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Octane number; Low temperature combustion LTC ; Ignition delay; Methanol; HCCI; PPC; Multiple injection strategy; φ-stratification;

    Sammanfattning : The research community recently proposed a low-temperature combustion (LTC) concept that can simultaneously reduce Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and soot emissions while maintaining high engine efficiency. Given that diesel fuel is prone to preignition with early injection, gasoline-like fuel with high octane number is utilised to provide sufficient ignition delay and extend the load range. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Long-term exposure to transportation noise in relation to metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes

    Författare :Andrei Pyko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Transportation noise exposure is increasing because of rapid urbanization and transportation growth. Environmental noise exposure affects a large part of the population and gives rise to widespread annoyance and sleep disturbances. LÄS MER
