1. Face in cyberspace : Facework, (im)politeness and conflict in English discussion groups
Sammanfattning : The purpose of the current study is to explore the discourse strategies and linguistic resources employed by the participants in English electronic discussion fora when handling ‘face’ (public self-image) and conflict online.Two data sets were collected from the moderated Musiclassical mailing list and from the non-moderated alt.

2. Supporting Dynamic Decision Making in Naval Search and Evasion Tasks
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates a decision aid to support tasks where there is an initial sighting of an object and then the decision maker has to guide some vehicles, either to reestablish contact with the lost object or to stay clear of it. As such, the tasks are analogous to naval search and evasion tasks. LÄS MER
3. Limiting conditions for a sustained flame over condensed fuels : Analysis by experiments and stagnant layer theory
Sammanfattning : Ignition and extinction characteristics of a material determine whether a fire will be initiated and grow. In fire safety engineering, where modellers deal with a multitude of materials, simplified thresholds are commonly used to determine when ignition and extinction occur. LÄS MER
4. Fighting flameless fires : Initiating and extinguishing self-sustainedsmoldering fires in wood pellets
Sammanfattning : Smoldering fires represent domestic, environmental and industrial hazards. This flameless form of combustion is more easily initiated than flaming, and is also more persistent and difficult to extinguish. The growing demand for non-fossil fuels has increased the use of solid biofuels such as biomass. LÄS MER
5. Comparative study of residue pellets from cane sugar and palm-oil industries with commercial wood pellets, applied in downdraft gasification
Sammanfattning : While biomass utilization for energy conversion in the industrialized nations is being largely developed, highly efficient and environmentally friendly, many tropical countries still use biomass at low efficiencies and high emission levels. The main reasons for these gaps are both political and technological: the energy markets are different, the Gross National Product (GDP) differs widely, and the feedstock differs in form and conversion behaviour.
