Abstract Future climate change scenarios project a water temperature increase of 2 to 5 ˚C for the upcoming 100 years. Simultaneously, north temperate zones will face precipitation changes that will ultimately enhance humic content and water colour in freshwater systems. I hypothesised that increased temperature and water colour would benefit the grazing activity of mixotrophs, and the dominance

Som ett steg i utvecklingen av nästa generations hjullastare görs studier av olika delsystem för att se var energiförbrukningen ligger. Denna masteruppsats har som mål att ta reda på energiförbrukningen för fyra länkage med olika konstruktion. Den kommer även att undersöka hur energiförbrukningen förändras när en elektro-hydraulisk kompensering introduceras för att hålla lasten parallell samt vad As a stage in the development of the next generation of wheel loaders, all systems are evaluated in order to minimize the energy consumption. This master thesis aims to investigate the energy consumption for four linkages with different design. It will also investigate how the energy consumption changes when an electro-hydraulic compensation is added in order to keep the load parallel and what the

To be able to change gears in a transmission it is necessary to remove the torque when disengaging and engaging gears in order not to damage the teeth of the cogs. If the driving torque from the engine to the wheels is interrupted for a longer period of time it can be perceived as very uncomfortable for both the driver and passengers in the vehicle. A gear change can be divided into three main sta

Quantum entanglement between electrons in nanostructures is a key concept of quantum information still waiting to be experimentally demonstrated. In this master's thesis we present and analyze the full counting statistics of the charge transfer of a sextuple quantum dot system which works as both entangler and detector of spatially separated electrons. Under certain resonance conditions the sy

With the diminishing reserves of oil and the growing public concern for environmental issues, the end of gasoline powered vehicles is getting closer each year. To prevent this from causing the personal and comfortable way of transportation mankind has gotten used to, to die with them, an alternative without the downsides of the gasoline engine must be developed. The environmentally friendly electr

In 1996 the European Union adopted the Seveso II Directive. The Directive stated actions to be taken in the process industry in order to prevent and limit the impact of serious chemical accidents. In the Directive it is clearly stated that domino effects shall be considered, but the level of detail required is not specified. Due to that fact and the high degree of complexity linked to domino e

Reduction of the cleaning time is an important issue for companies using large tanks. A common solution is a stationary pipe going into the tank with a cleaning nozzle mounted on the end. Today the spray pattern of most cleaning systems is fixed. It would be beneficial to adjust the cleaning cycles so that the most soiled places of the tank get extra attention without increasing the total cleaning

Climate change is exponentially becoming one of the most pressing issues of our time. While it is an issue that plaques the international community it is an issue that needs to be addressed on all levels. Local government has been highlighted as the level closest to the people and is uniquely positioned to instigate a range of activities that directly address climate change and sustainability. Thi

Happiness is a relatively new discipline within economics. Traditionally, economists have not paid too much attention to it since they considered that both indicators and theoretical assumptions in which this discipline was based were not neither reliable nor useful for policy recommendations. However, especially in the last decade, there has been extensive research which, if not proved, at least

Kommunernas naturvård bedrivs av många olika anledningar. Politikerna och tjänstemännen prioriterar olika områden och naturvårdens status i kommunerna är inte alltid vad den borde vara. Detta bidrar till att naturvårdsfrågorna inte får de utrymme som de behöver för att säkerställa ett gott artskydd. Att naturvården sker i kommunal regi är den vanligaste formen av naturvård, då naturområdena inte In this study I have examined which conditions that play a role in the conservation of natural environment. The results in this paper have been analysed from interviews that I have conducted with conservation officers working with conservation efforts in local municipality's in southwest Skåne, Sweden. In the process, I have come to the conclusion that the nature conservation the conservation

The aim of this thesis is to study the anthropology of contemporary Swedish ecotheology and theo­logy of creation, Bo Brander, Per Larsson and Wilfrid Stinissen, in comparison with the ecofeminist theology of Sallie McFague. The Swedish theologians in this study describe man as steward, micro­cosm, priest, co-sufferer and the image of God. McFague use the term partner when describing man, a term w

This research aims to explore how consumption impacts on the construction of affiliation boundaries within heterogeneous consumption-oriented subcultures. In order to accomplish this purpose, we have studied the growing phenomenon of barefoot running in relation to the consumption of minimalist footwear as a symbolic product. By doing so, we have explored how consumption vertebrates the subculture

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur revisionsprocessen påverkas av redovisningsregelverken K2 och K3. Mer specifikt vill vi undersöka om bedömningen av risk och väsentlighet skiljer sig eftersom regelverken kategoriseras som regel- respektive principbaserade. Metod: Vi använder oss av ett induktivt förhållningssätt till teorin samt en kvalitativ undersökningsdesign. Teori: Teorin t

Mikroskopiska echinodermfossil har undersökts ur prover från täljstensintervallet och intillig-gande delar av ’lanna’- och ’holenkalkstenen’ i Hällekis stenbrott, Västergötland. Den undersökta sektionen är från översta volkhov och mellersta kunda, darriwilian (mellanordovicium). Tidigare studier har konkluderat att en regression/transgression skedde under den undersökta perioden, vilket bekräftas Microscopic echinoderms were studied in acid-insoluble residues from the Lanna and Holen limestones at Hällekis, Västergötland, Sweden. The section studied spans the uppermost Volkhov and lower–middle Kunda Baltoscandian stages, within the Darriwillian global Stage (Middle Ordovician). The echinoderms show an increase in abundance, accompanying falling sea levels during the well-recognized regress

Concerns about water scarcity in Sub-Saharan African countries, difficulties in accessing a safe and reliable water source is becoming a serious threat to both child health and mortality reduction. The major challenges of water access condition in most Sub-Saharan Africa nations are depending on water source and daily water fetching time. This thesis will look into these two factors, examining the

In this study it is shown that Skåne Nordväst, which is a partnership between 11 municipalities in northwest of Scania, has good grounds to be able to increase its use of electric vehicles and seems to be using the right strategies to do so. The increased use of electric vehicles is something that they intend with their new operational plan for 2014. Using of available research and literature of w
