1. Structural health monitoring of concrete structures using diffuse waves
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis has aimed to investigate and implement techniques for ultrasonic measurements in structural health monitoring applications for civil structures. The focus of the work has been to make these systems practical in real applications, where the large size of the structures, and the changing environments they are exposed to, pose problems for many methods which otherwise fare well in laboratory settings.

2. Structural health monitoring of large concrete structures
Sammanfattning : There is an increasing demand on the safety and reliability of the civil structures that make up our cities and infrastructure. The field of structural health monitoring aims to provide continuous non-destructive evaluation of such structures. LÄS MER
3. Investigating the potential of current and future neutrino detectors to identify the sources of the astrophysical neutrinos seen by IceCube
Sammanfattning : High energy neutrino astronomy aims to view the universe with a new messenger, the neutrino. This messenger provides another window onto the universe, complementing what we can learn from photons, cosmic rays, and gravitational waves. LÄS MER
4. Outdoor heat in urban areas - Model development and applications
Sammanfattning : Heat waves and high outdoor air temperature can lead to heat stress with negative implications for human health and wellbeing such as heat stroke, heat cramps, dehydration and in extreme cases death. The urban population is at higher risk of such outcomes because of the generally warmer urban climate. LÄS MER
5. Time Spectral Methods - Towards Plasma Turbulence Modelling
Sammanfattning : Energy comes in two forms; potential energy and kinetic energy. Energyis stored as potential energy and released in the form of kinetic energy. This process of storage and release is the basic strategy of all energy alternatives in use today. This applies to solar, wind, fossil fuels, and the list goes on. LÄS MER
