11. Thermal Crack Risk Estimation and Material Properties of Young Concrete
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents how to establish a theoretical model to predict risk of thermal cracking in young concrete when cast on ground or an arbitrary construction. The crack risk in young concrete is determined in two steps: 1) calculation of temperature distribution within newly cast concrete and adjacent structure; 2) calculation of stresses caused by thermal and moisture (due to self-desiccation, if drying shrinkage not included) changes in the analyzed structure.

12. Environmentally Friendly Construction Processes Under Uncertainty : Assessment, Optimisation and Robust Decision-Making
Sammanfattning : The construction processes of building and civil infrastructure are broadly recognised as large contributors to the environmental degradation, which cause environmental impacts directly and indirectly by massive energy use, intensive greenhouse emissions, and significant resources consumption. The report from Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) and the Swedish Construction Federation (Byggföretagen) shows that the total carbon dioxide equivalents emitted per year from construction processes are the same size as emissions from all of the cars in Sweden, and more than that is generated by all lorries and busses.

13. Synthesis of estradiol mimetics and potential anti-Alzheimer’s agents
Sammanfattning : This thesis is composed of two projects, both involving synthesis aimed at drug discovery. The first project covers method development for the synthesis of substances that can be used in estrogen replacement therapy. LÄS MER
14. Novel potato starch : new structure and beneficial qualities
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a simplified method for determining the internal molecular structure of whole starch without prior amylopectin isolation. The structure of potato and barley whole starches, the thermal properties of starch from potato lines with different genetic backgrounds and the relationship between molecular structure and functional properties of starch were examined in the thesis.

15. Digital Cognitive Companions for Marine Vessels : On the Path Towards Autonomous Ships
Sammanfattning : As for the automotive industry, industry and academia are making extensive efforts to create autonomous ships. The solutions for this are very technology-intense. Many building blocks, often relying on AI technology, need to work together to create a complete system that is safe and reliable to use. LÄS MER
