In this work, an existing cooling tower, created for educational purposes, was modelled and simulated. The model was solved in Matlab using the built in function ode15 and it was eval-uated by implementing both absorption and process control. The implementations were per-formed in the simulation only. The model was deemed to be fit for the existing tower although there were unfortunately some unc

Oxygenases are a group of enzymes that use molecular oxygen to oxidize a substrate, a very important process both biologically and industrially. High-valent Fe(IV)-oxo species have long been implicated as the key reactive intermediates in heme and non-heme iron oxygenases. Since the first well-characterized mononuclear non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complex was reported in 2003, much effort have been put i

There has been an increasing interest in wastewater treatment in last decades to reduce human footprint. Primarily, anaerobic technology focused on treatment and stabilization of sludge, but now the tendency is to give it a major role in low cost treatment of high/low strength wastewaters, since anaerobic digestion offers energy generation through gas production. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (A

The six participants, two in Sweden and four in Denmark, interviewed for this thesis are all organizational outsiders: they consult organizations on how to create diverse workplaces. The empirical, qualitative material is analyzed within an interdisciplinary framework consisting of feminist, queer, anti-racist, affect and critical diversity theories. The focus of the thesis concerns resistance fro

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a human-specific pathogen frequently associated with respiratory tract infections. Recruitment of human plasminogen is one of the multifaceted colonization and invasion strategies employed by NTHi. Plasminogen is a proenzyme abundant in human plasma. Physiological activators convert plasminogen to the proteolytically active broad-spectrum protease plasm

Commutation Failures in LCC HVDC converters is a topic that is normally addressed from the component perspective, looking at converters’ internal signals. How these commutation failures affect the outer AC network is not deeply understood yet. This thesis will provide proof of how commutation failures causes abnormal behavior in the AC network, and how PMU data can be used in order to distinguish

The building industry in Sweden is dominated by concrete today. However, this material has a greater impact on carbon emissions compared to wood. By examining some of the general properties of wood and specifically cross laminated timber we have explored the basic advantages and disadvantages of this relatively new and mildly used building material, as well as, investigated why it has not develope

Over the past two decades non-representational and affectual geographers have cited the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze to the point of exhaustion. In this thesis I read Deleuze’s interpretation of Spinoza through the weird tales written by the American horror author H. P. Lovecraft to argue for a radicalization of the former’s work within geography. To this end I examine the often recognized, b

Historiskt sett har transportören, med undantag för force majeure och krigshandlingar, varit strikt ansvarig för all skada på det transporterade godset. Detta kom att förändrades under slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet när transportörerna började begränsa sina ansvarsgrunder med klausuler i transportavtalen. Snart var transportörerna inte ansvariga för i princip någonting, vilket var pThe carrier has historically been strictly liable for all damage to the cargo carried, with the exception of acts of God and war. This changed during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when the carriers began to limit their liabilities in the contract of carriage. They were soon not liable for very much which was problematic for the shippers, since they did not receive compensation when their goods
