1. Thermal adaptation along a latitudinal gradient in damselflies
Sammanfattning : Understanding how temperature affects biological systems is a central question in ecology and evolutionary biology. Anthropogenic climate change adds urgency to this topic, as the demise or success of species under climate change is expected to depend on how temperature affects important aspects of organismal performance, such as growth, development, survival and reproduction.

2. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of BWR Stability
Sammanfattning : Best Estimate codes are used for licensing, but with conservative assumptions. It is claimed that the uncertainties are covered by the conservatism of the calculation. LÄS MER
3. Modelling and Simulation of Thermal Radiation in Biomass Combustion
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents numerical investigations and simulations of fixed bed combustion of wood, models for predicting thermal radiative properties of particles and gases related to the combustion of wood, and a review of heat load calculations in gas turbines. All subjects have a common factor in thermal radiation. LÄS MER
4. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Boiling Water Reactor Stability Simulations
Sammanfattning : The best estimate codes are used for licensing of Nuclear Power Plants (NPP), but with conservative assumptions. It is claimed that the uncertainties are covered by the conservatism of the calculation. LÄS MER
5. The Plastic Flow Behaviour of Aluminium Alloys Exhibiting Dynamic Strain Ageing
Sammanfattning : The phenomenon known as dynamic strain ageing, abbreviated DSA, has been known since the beginning of last century. It was first discovered as serrations in the load-elongation curve obtained upon deforming specimens of certain alloys in tension. This phenomenon became known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect. LÄS MER
