21. Relational textiles : surface expressions in space design
Sammanfattning : The emergence of the Smart Textiles field opens possibilities for designers to combine traditional surface fabrication techniques with advanced technology in the design process. The purpose of this work is to develop knowledge on interactive knitted textiles as materials for architecture and to do so through practice-based design research. LÄS MER
22. Insights to beachcast management on Gotland, Sweden : An Industrial Ecology perspective on waste-resource ambiguity
Sammanfattning : Beachcast or beach wrack, washed-up algae and seaweed, used to be a highly sought-after agricultural resource (fertiliser and soil conditioner) in coastal communities around the world before being replaced by chemical fertilisers, but considering the talks of a circular bio-economy – can we reintroduce it? Since the abandonment of beachcast in agriculture, the amount of beachcast has significantly increased as an effect of eutrophication caused by the use of chemical fertiliser, and the material is commonly considered waste. Meanwhile, soils have degraded and need the multiple positive effects on agroecosystems that beachcast could provide. LÄS MER
23. Development and Applications of a General Coupled Thermal-hydraulic/Neutronic Model for the
Sammanfattning : Coupled calculations are important for the simulation of nuclear power plants when there is a strongfeedback between the neutron kineticsand the thermal-hydraulics. A general coupled model of the Ringhals-3 Pressurized Water Reactor has beendeveloped for this purpose. LÄS MER
24. Modeling of losses in power transformers from dc to the low kilohertz range
Sammanfattning : The development of HVDC converters, local generation and tractions systems increases the demand for power converters. While a lot of studies have been conducted on the power electronics, there are still open questions concerning the contained power transformer that operates at a few kilohertz. LÄS MER
25. Conditions for resource-efficient production of biofuels for transport in Sweden
Sammanfattning : Transportation has continued to increase worldwide and fossil-fuel dependency is strong which leads to a number of problems, e.g. increased emissions of green-house gases (GHG) and risks related to energy security. Biofuels have until now been one of the few renewable alternatives which have been able to replace fossil fuels on a large scale. LÄS MER
