  1. 1. Thermal adaptation along a latitudinal gradient in damselflies

    Författare :Viktor Nilsson-Örtman; Frank Johansson; Karl Gotthard; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Growth rate; metabolic theory of ecology; universal temperature dependence; environmental gradients; thermal performance; thermal sensitivity; environmental variability; optimality theory; life history; acclimation; size structure; competition; cannibalism; intraguild predation;

    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.

  3. 2. First-principles description of planarfaults in metals and alloys

    Författare :Wei Li; Levente Vitos; Ujfalassy Habil Balazs; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Phase interface and stacking fault are two common planar defects in metallic materials. In the present thesis, the interfacial energy and the generalized stacking fault energy of random alloys are investigated using density functional theory formulated within the exact muffin-tin orbitals (EMTO) method in combination with the coherent-potential approximation (CPA).

  4. 3. Charge and Energy Transport in Disordered Organic Semiconductors

    Författare :Hassan Abdalla; Martijn Kemerink; Ronald Österbacka; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Improvement of the performance of organic disordered semiconductors (OSC) is driven by the understanding   of the underlying charge transport mechanisms and systematic exploitation thereof. There exists a multitude of materials and material systems based on polymers and small molecules with promising performance for use in organic light emitting diodes, photovoltaics, organic field-effect transistors and thermoelectrics.

  5. 4. Phase dependent heat transport in superconducting junctions with scattering theory

    Författare :Fatemeh Hajiloo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heat transport; heat conductance; scattering theory; superconducting hybrid devices; conductance fluctuations; phase dependent heat currents;

    Sammanfattning : The operation of nanoscale devices at low temperatures is highly sensitive to heating effects. This motivates current research on controlling heat currents in these devices. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effect of water contamination on the diffused content of hydrogen under stress in AISI-52100 bearing steel

    Författare :Tajammal Imran; Maskinelement; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; materialteknik; Materiallära; Material technology; Hydrogen Diffusion; Rolling Element; Machine Elements; Tribology; Hydrogen Embrittlement; vibration and acoustic engineering; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Hydrogen embrittlement is a degradation process of mechanical/tribological properties (toughness, wear etc.) of mating steel surfaces. This is caused by the presence and interaction of hydrogen with applied stresses. Therefore, it is important to quantify the hydrogen content which could be dissolved under applied stresses in steel.
