Vall, Jon. "Finns det potential att införa en massdatabas för handel och utbyte av överskottsmassor i Eskilstuna?" Thesis, Mälardalen University, School of Sustainable Development of Society and Technology, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-5598.
Повний текст джерелаIn Eskilstuna and Sweden in general the level of reuse of surplus material containing soils and rocks from excavation is low. In this report the potential for increasing the reuse of excavated material in Eskilstuna by using a web-based earth information database has been examined. The purpose of a web-based earth information database is to connect those who have surplus material with those who need material for a fast and simple transaction. The intention is to give Eskilstuna a more environmentally and economically efficient handling of surplus material by increasing the level of reuse and thereby reducing the amount of surplus material that is wasted and emissions given off to the atmosphere during transportation. The potential has been examined in two different ways, by tracing information about a number of projects to see if excavated material driven to the dump could have been used in another project and by interviewing eight of the work leaders active in Eskilstuna. The potential has been determined to be low based mostly on the interviews and on the current legislation. Although many of the work leaders were positive to use an earth information database there is too much speaking against it. For example the contractor who wants to use another contractor’s surplus material has to apply to the local authority six weeks ahead. In the work place the limited time and space, which are the two most important factors for being able to reuse material on site, doesn’t allow the paperwork to take so long time. But it’s not impossible to launch a web-based earth information database in Eskilstuna and recommendations has been given for important considerations if one is to be initiated.

Повний текст джерелаLergjord är ett arbete som undersöker möjligheten till innovation genom att utnyttja lokala biobaserade material i Skåne i Sverige. Arbetet undersöker om stampad jordbyggnad kan användas för att genomföra de Lokala Färdplansmålen som Malmö Stad sätter fram till år 2030 (förk. LFM30). Genom kvalitativa forskningsmetoder undersöktes stampad lerjord som byggnadsteknik hos tre intressenter. Studien har sammanfattat möjligheten om hur stampad lerjord i Skåne kan bli ett konventionellt byggmaterial i framtiden. Vi (Ludvig Dovberg och Tobias Löfgren) har utvärderat den praktiska aspekten i stampad lerjord på Urban Living Lab i Lund med användandet av lokal lerjord från utgrävningar av tillbyggnation för järnvägsspår mellan Malmö och Lund i samarbete med Trafikverket. Arbetet visar att stampjordstekniken är möjlig med utvunnen lera från schaktmassorna mellan Lund och Malmö med hänvisning till projekt LERGJORD. Med tanke på den stora kvantitet av lera som finns kan denna utvinning vara användbar för andra projekt i Skåne. Hursomhelst, byggtekniken besitter på utmaningar såsom tidskrav och kunskapsluckan är tämligen lätt att adressera. Trots det, har ett prefabriceringskoncept inom byggtekniken utvecklats sedan slutet på 1990-talet i Tyskland, som kan vara en lösning på problemet. Arbetet tyder också på att högre utbildning och forskning krävs för att etablera en kunskapsbas som arkitekter kan arbeta vidare på. Fallstudien visar på att en standardisering av materialet krävs för att undvika långa och omständliga materialtester innan godkännande för konstruktion, likt Lehmbau-lagstiftningen i Tyskland. Materialets låga klimatpåverkan och cirkularitet gör det relevant för LMF30’s medlemmar att se vidare på alternativet för implementering i den skånska byggindustrin.

Повний текст джерелаIn recent years, metal oxide electronics has attracted more and more attention in research, mainly thanks to their potential lower cost and the possibility they offer to develop transparent electronics. There are several potential applications concerned with metal oxides including photovoltaics, thin film transistors and photo-electrochemistry. There are several n-type metal oxides with excellent electronic properties being well developed, such as Al doped zinc oxide. But the fabrication of devices fully made with metal oxides is largely impeded by the poor electronic properties of the p-type oxides so far studied. Therefore, there is the need for developing p-type metal oxide semiconducting materials with better electrical properties.In this thesis, the optimization of pure Cu2O thin film deposition was conducted using Aerosol Assisted MOCVD (AA-MOCVD). As a result, homogenous Cu2O films were deposited at low temperature (about 335 °C) without detectable amount of carbon contamination with high crystallinity. In addition, by incorporation of humidity during the deposition, particle size and the orientation of the Cu2O films could be tuned, thus Cu2O films with (111) textured large grain sizes (> 300 nm) were achieved. For optimized Cu2O films, the mobility can reach a maximum of 15 cm2/V.s with carrier concentration in the order of 1015 cm-3. Lastly, an excellent diode behaviour was observed by combining the optimized Cu2O films with ZnO, obtaining an on-off ratio exceeding 104.Besides the Cu2O optimization, the deposition of AgCuO2 by MOCVD was also tackled. In order to do so, the deposition of silver and silver oxide thin films was previously optimized. For that, two new silver precursors, namely, Ag(hfac)phenanthroline and Ag(hfac)triglyme were synthesized and fully characterized. High quality Ag coatings could be obtained with both precursors. Silver oxide films were obtained through electrochemical oxidation and oxygen plasma treatment of pre-deposited Ag coatings.Due to the incompatibility between the thermal AgCuO2 stability window and the temperatures needed to deposit Ag and Cu compounds by CVD with the precursors used, the direct deposition of AgCuO2 could not be obtained. Thus, solution based thin film coating techniques were adopted for AgCuO2 film deposition. In particular, Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) allowed the deposition of AgCuO2 thin films. Using a proper seed layer on glass, dense and continuous AgCuO2 films were coated, with minimum RMS value of 8 nm. The deposited AgCuO2 films had almost pure phase. The optical and transport properties of AgCuO2 thin films were thus carried out for the first time. Transmittance measurements confirmed the predicted low bandgap of AgCuO2 (1.2 eV), while by using the Tauc formula, we found that this material is more likely to have a direct bandgap, in agreement with published DFT calculations. Thanks to Hall Effect measurements, the deposited AgCuO2 films were confirmed to be p-type. The lowest resistivity achieved was 0.2 Ω.cm. In addition, those films had carrier density in the order of 1017 cm-3 and the best mobility achieved was 24 cm2/V.s. Comparing with the previously reported CuMO2 (M= Al, Cr, Ga etc) delafossite p-type compounds, this material has shown the lowest bandgap (appropriate for photovoltaic application) and rather high conductivity. The most interesting characteristic is that the general problem of low carrier mobility in those delafossite compounds has been solved in this AgCuO2, thanks to its mixed-valence electronic structure and charges delocalization. Thus, those unprecedented characterization results pave the way for using AgCuO2 films in functional devices

Повний текст джерелаThe planar design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is the most promising one due to its easier fabrication, improved performance and relatively high power density. In planar SOFCs and other solid-electrolyte devices, gas-tight seals must be formed along the edges of each cell and between the stack and gas manifolds. Glass and glass-ceramic (GC), in particular alkaline-earth alumino silicate based glasses and GCs, are becoming the most promising materials for gas-tight sealing applications in SOFCs. Besides the development of new glass-based materials, new additional concepts are required to overcome the challenges being faced by the currently existing sealant technology. The present work deals with the development of glasses- and GCs-based materials to be used as a sealants for SOFCs and other electrochemical functional applications. In this pursuit, various glasses and GCs in the field of diopside crystalline materials have been synthesized and characterized by a wide array of techniques. All the glasses were prepared by melt-quenching technique while GCs were produced by sintering of glass powder compacts at the temperature ranges from 800−900 ºC for 1−1000 h. Furthermore, the influence of various ionic substitutions, especially SrO for CaO, and Ln2O3 (Ln=La, Nd, Gd, and Yb), for MgO + SiO2 in Al-containing diopside on the structure, sintering and crystallization behaviour of glasses and properties of resultant GCs has been investigated, in relevance with final application as sealants in SOFC. From the results obtained in the study of diopside-based glasses, a bilayered concept of GC sealant is proposed to overcome the challenges being faced by (SOFCs). The systems designated as Gd−0.3 (in mol%: 20.62MgO−18.05CaO−7.74SrO−46.40SiO2−1.29Al2O3 − 2.04 B2O3−3.87Gd2O3) and Sr−0.3 (in mol%: 24.54 MgO−14.73 CaO−7.36 SrO−0.55 BaO−47.73 SiO2−1.23 Al2O3−1.23 La2O3−1.79 B2O3−0.84 NiO) have been utilized to realize the bi-layer concept. Both GCs exhibit similar thermal properties, while differing in their amorphous fractions, revealed excellent thermal stability along a period of 1,000 h. They also bonded well to the metallic interconnect (Crofer22APU) and 8 mol% yttrium stabilized zirconium (8YSZ) ceramic electrolyte without forming undesirable interfacial layers at the joints of SOFC components and GC. Two separated layers composed of glasses (Gd−0.3 and Sr−0.3) were prepared and deposited onto interconnect materials using a tape casting approach. The bi-layered GC showed good wetting and bonding ability to Crofer22APU plate, suitable thermal expansion coefficient (9.7–11.1 × 10–6 K−1), mechanical reliability, high electrical resistivity, and strong adhesion to the SOFC componets. All these features confirm the good suitability of the investigated bi-layered sealant system for SOFC applications.
A concepção planar de células de combustível de óxido sólido (SOFC) é a mais promissora devido a sua fabricação mais fácil, um melhor desempenho e uma densidade de potência relativamente elevada. Nas SOFCs planares e outros dispositivos de electrólitos sólidos são necessárias vedações estanques ao gás ao longo das arestas de cada uma das células e entre os tubos de distribuição de gás e de pilha. Materiais vítreos e vitrocerâmicos (GC), em particular com composições baseadas em aluminosilicatos alcalino-terrosos, estão entre os materiais mais promissores para aplicações de vedação à prova de gás em SOFCs. Além do desenvolvimento de novos materiais à base de vidros e vitrocerâmicos, são também necessários novos conceitos para superar os desafios enfrentados pela tecnologia selante atualmente existente. O presente trabalho visa dar um contributo nesse sentido, propondo soluções de vedação para SOFCs e outras aplicações electroquímicas. Para o efeito, foram sintetizados vários vidros e GCs à base de diópsido, os quais foram caracterizados por recurso a uma grande variedade de técnicas. Todos os vidros foram preparados por fusão, enquanto os GCs foram produzidos por sinterização (tratamento térmico) de compactos de pó de vidro nas faixas de temperatura de 800 − 900 ºC por 1 − 1000 h. Além disso, foram estudados os efeitos de diversas substituições iónicas, especialmente de CaO por SrO, e de MgO + SiO2 por Ln2O3 (Ln = La, Nd, Gd, e Yb), em composições de aluminosilicatos à base de diópsido na estrutura, sinterização e cristalização dos vidros e nas propriedades dos GCs resultantes com particular relevância para as propriedades de vedação em SOFCs. Com base nos resultados obtidos neste estudo, foi possível propor um novo conceito de selante vritrocerâmico em bi-camadas que visa ultrapassar os desafios enfrentados pelos vedantes actualmente usados em SOFCs. Os sistemas designados por Gd−0,3 (em % molar: 20,62 MgO−18,05 CaO−7,74 SrO−46,40 SiO2−1,29 Al2O3−2,04 B2O3−3,87 Gd2O3) e Sr−0,3 (em % molar: 24,54 MgO−14,73 CaO−7,36 SrO−0,55 BaO−47,73 SiO2−1,23 Al2O3−1,23 La2O3−1,79 B2O3−0,84 NiO) foram seleccionados para realizar o conceito de bi-camada. Ambos os GCs exibem propriedades térmicas semelhantes, e excelente estabilidade térmica ao longo de um período de 1.000 horas, mas diferem nas suas fracções vítreas/cristalinas. Eles revelaram também elevada aptidão para se ligarem à interconexão metálica (Crofer22APU) e ao electrólito sólido (zircónia estabilizada com 8 mol% de ítria (8YSZ) sem a formação de camadas interfaciais indesejáveis entre os diferentes componentes das SOFCs. Duas camadas separadas compostas pelos vidros (Gd−0,3 e Sr−0.3) foram preparadas e depositadas sobre as interconexões metálicas através de uma abordagem tape casting. As bi-camadas vitrocerâmicas mostram boa capacidade de molhamento e ligação à placa Crofer22APU, coeficientes de expansão térmica adequados (9,7−11,1 × 10−6 K−1), confiabilidade mecânica, elevada resistividade eléctrica, e uma forte adesão aos componentes da SOFC. Todas estas características confirmam a boa adequação do sistema selante bi-camadas investigado para aplicações em SOFCs.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this study was to compare hygrothermal acoustical and mechanical properties ot different materials based on vegetal aggregates and clay in order to characterize the performances of different biocomposites to provide building insulation solutions with a view to valorizing agricultural waste. We first analyzed the raw materials in order to get the density, thermal and hydric properties of the vegetal aggregates in one hand and the mineralogy and gravimetric data of the selected crude earth in the other hand. Thermal behavior of earth:vegetal aggregates mixes have been investigated at different humidity rates and different density ranges. Additionally, hydric properties have been measured to produce sorption and desorption curves and moisture buffer values (MBV) in one hand and capillarity of both aggregates and biocomposites on the other hand. One of the main interests of this study is to confirm that a wide range of locally produced vegetal byproducts could be used as - bioaggregates for concretes. Local biomaterials industries could therefore emerge depending on the locally available resources at country scale

Повний текст джерелаThe growing interest in optical quantum systems has led to the exploration of multiple platforms. Though pioneering experiments were performed in trapped atom and trapped ion systems, solid state systems show promise of being scalable and robust. Rare earth dopants in crystalline hosts are an appealing option because they possess a rich spectrum of energy levels that result from a partially filled electron orbital. While level structure varies across the period, all elements possess crystal field splittings corresponding to near infra-red or optical frequencies, as well as Zeeman and often hyperfine levels separated by radio frequency and microwave frequencies. These levels demonstrate long excited-state lifetimes and coherence times and have been used in diverse applications, including demonstrating storage of a photonic state, converting of optical to microwave photons, and manipulating a single ion as a single qubit. The ions' weak interaction with their environment results in low coupling to optical fields, which had previously required measurements with macroscopically large ensembles of ions. Coupling the ions to an optical cavity enables the use of a smaller ensemble, which is required for the development of the aforementioned technologies in an on-chip scalable architecture.
This thesis contains recent progress towards fabricating optical micro and nanocavities coupled to ensembles of erbium ions, mainly erbium in yttrium orthosilicate. In one design, focused ion beam milling was used to create a triangular nanobeam photonic crystal cavity in a bulk erbium-doped substrate. A second design leveraged the fabrication capabilities of silicon photonics, defining amorphous silicon ring resonators using electron beam lithography and dry etching. These devices coupled evanescently to erbium ions below the ring, in the bulk substrate. Simulation, design, fabrication, and characterization of both resonators are discussed. Coupling between the ions and the resonator is demonstrated for each, and capabilities offered by these devices are described. Preliminary work implementing coherent control of erbium ions is presented. Lastly, alternative substrates are evaluated for possible future solid-state erbium systems.

Along with the advantages in information technology (IT), teachers try to integrate teaching methods by using IT for many years. However, the advantage of IT is very fast and its application on education needs training and time, it is very important to help teachers to use IT on curriculum design and teaching. This research adapt technology acceptance model (TAM) to study the advantage of IT on teaching. According to the past research, there are many difficulties to teach the geophysical related subjects, such as latitude, longitude, weather, cloud, precipitation…etc. Also students will make some misconception from traditional curriculum. These difficulties could be resolved by using geographic information system (GIS). Google Earth is a new but popular GIS on web world; users can fly to every corner of the planet during mouse clicks. For these reasons, we developed auto-formed teaching materials on Google Earth; teacher can use it on weather related curriculum. Questionnaire survey was made to estimate the advantage of GIS on teaching. Preliminary results indicate that teachers are satisfied on this design, also it shown high acceptance and willingness on using GIS in geophysical related subjects.

Повний текст джерелаKnowledge of the earth’s morphology is essential to the understanding of many geomorphic and hydrologic processes. Recent advancements in the field of remote sensing have significantly improved our ability to assess the earth’s surface. From these, LiDAR elevation data permits the production of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) over large areas. LiDAR is a major technological advance as it allows geoscientists to visualize the earth’s morphology in high detail, even allowing us to resolve low-relief landforms in forested areas where the surface is obstructed by vegetation cover. Such a technological advance calls for the development of new and novel approaches to realize the scientific potential of this new spatial data. In this context, the present work aims to develop two digital mapping approaches that use LiDAR elevation data for assessing the earth’s subsurface composition. The first approach to be developed uses the location of low-relief beach ridges observed on LiDAR-derived DEMs to map the extent of a large and regionally important paleo-sea, the Champlain Sea. This approach allowed us to accurately map the 65,000 km2 area once inundated by sea water. The model serves to the assessment of the distribution of marine and littoral sediments in the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The second approach uses the relationship between field-acquired samples of soil parent material (SPM) and LiDAR-derived topographic attributes to map SPM at high-resolution and at a regional scale on the Canadian Shield. To do so, we used a novel approach that combined object-based image analysis (OBIA) with a classification tree algorithm. This approach allowed us to produce a fine-resolution 185 km2 map of SPM in a heterogeneous post-glaciation Precambrian Shield setting. The knowledge obtained from producing these two models allowed us to conceptualize the subsurface composition at the limit between the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Canadian Shield. This insight provides researchers and resource managers with a more detailed understanding of the geomorphology of this area and contributes to improve our capacity to grasp ecosystem services and predict environmental hazards related to subsurface processes.
