  1. 16. Palsa Growth and Decay in Northern Sweden : Climatic and Environmental Controls

    Författare :Frieda S. Zuidhoff; Jonas Åkerman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; ground thermal properties; palsas; permafrost degradation; peat porosity; Sweden; vegetation.; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis outlines the development and decay of palsas in northern Sweden in relation to climatic and environmental factors. Palsas were investigated on morphology, vegetation, peat porosity, ground temperature and local climate in four bogs situated on a north-south gradient in northern Sweden. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Thermal physiology and metabolism : Interplay between heat generation and energy homeostasis

    Författare :Gustavo Abreu-Vieira; Jan Nedergaard; Eric Ravussin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : Mammal metabolism is intimately connected to the maintenance of body temperature. While metabolic pathways invariably produce heat as a by-product, the natural heat present in the environment also plays a role in defining the adaptive metabolism and general physiology of an organism.

  4. 18. Quantifying the impact of winter warming on the Arctic carbon cycle

    Författare :Alexandra Pongrácz; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic; snow; permafrost; LPJ-GUESS; non-growing season; carbon cycling; LPJ-GUESS; Arctic; permafrost; snow; carbon cycling; non-growing season;

    Sammanfattning : The Arctic has undergone extreme changes during the last decades and is warming over twice the global average. There has been increasing interest in understanding how warming and changes in snow and rainfall will affect high-latitude ecosystems. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Seasonal snow storage for cooling applications

    Författare :Kjell Skogsberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vattenteknik; Water Resources Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Seasonal snow storage for cooling applications is an ancient technique now being revived in different parts of the world. From June 2000 the first Swedish large-scale snow cooling plant provides for comfort cooling at the hospital in Sundsvall. The snow is thermally insulated by a 0. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Wetting and drying of aerogel-based coating mortars in Swedish climates

    Författare :Ali Naman Karim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; runoff; Aerogel; retrofitting; coating mortar; wetting; drying; wind-driven rain; render;

    Sammanfattning : Aerogel-based coating mortars (ACMs) have emerged as energy-efficient wall finishes with thermal conductivities of 30–50 mW/(m∙K). These coating mortars represent a promising alternative to traditional thermal insulation materials for retrofitting uninsulated building envelopes particularly in culturally significant structures.
