  1. 31. Influence of Human-induced Environmental Changes on the Physiology of the Harmful Benthic Marine Microalga Ostreopsis ovata

    Författare :Nayani K. Vidyarathna; Edna Granéli; Sandra Shumway; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ostreopsis ovata; benthic dinoflagellate; climate change; temperature increase; nutrient enrichment; acidification; physiology; cell growth; cell toxicity; carbohydrate accumulation; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focus on the influence of human-induced environmental changes on the physiology of Ostreopsis ovata; a toxic, benthic dinoflagellate, which form blooms in tropical and temperate marine waters. O. LÄS MER

  2. 32. Incorporation and preservation of geochemical fingerprints in peat archives

    Författare :Sophia V. Hansson; Richard Bindler; Dominik Weiss; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peat; Beryllium; bulk density; C N-ratio; decomposition; deposition; downwash; elemental mobility; geochemistry; humification; lead; light transmission; mercury; peat accumulation; precipitation; Environmental Science; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The present status of the environment, including environmental problems such as heavy metal accumulation in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, is in part the consequence of long-term changes. Cores from peatlands and other natural archives provide us with the potential to study aspects of the atmospheric cycling of elements, such as metal pollutants, on timescales much longer than the decade or two available to us with atmospheric deposition monitoring programs.

  3. 33. Electrochemical Application and AFM Characterization of Nanocomposites : Focus on Interphase Properties

    Författare :Hui Huang; Per Claesson; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrochemical sensor; nanocomposite; graphene; carbon nanotubes; phytic acid; polyaniline; corrosion protection; silica nanoparticles; atomic force microscopy; interphase; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The use of graphene and conductive polyaniline nanomaterials in the field of electrochemistry is increasing due to their excellent conductivity, rapid electron transfer and high specific surface area. However, these properties are strongly dependent on the preparation processes. LÄS MER

  4. 34. Physicochemical properties and atmospheric ageing of soot - investigated though aerosol mass spectrometry

    Författare :Axel Eriksson; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Black carbon; soot; vehicle exhausts; wood stove emissions; atmospheric processing; SP-AMS;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol particles contribute significantly to the global burden of disease, and remain the main source of uncertainty in assessments of human-induced climate change. The microphysical characterization of particles is necessary to understand the roles they play in the detrimental effects of air pollution on human health, and in the energy budget of our planet.

  5. 35. Effects of heavy metal contamination on carbon and nitrogen cycling : An ecological approach to assess risks to soil functions

    Författare :Ingrid Rijk; Alf Ekblad; Dan Berggren Kleja; Erik Karltun; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy metals; soil contamination; stable isotopes; N cycling microbial guilds; 13C; 15N; nitrification; denitrification; biochar; soil respiration; microbial activity; bioavailability;

    Sammanfattning : Soil contamination with heavy metals may disrupt soil microorganisms with important roles in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. However, there is a lack of understanding on how microorganisms are affected in soil, which may lead to a mismatch when assessing risks of contaminants to field soils. LÄS MER
