Chemical kinetics and transport of tropospheric trace compounds - implications for environment and air quality

– Att förstå mänsklig och naturlig påverkan på klimat och luftmiljö Människans energiförbrukning ökar i stadig takt med jordens befolkning och fokus på klimatförändringar gör att efterfrågan på hållbar energi har blivit stor. Ett alternativ till fossila bränslen är de så kallade ”andra generationens biobränslen”. Dessa kan tillverkas av cellulosa från träd och gräs som inte är värdefulla som livsmFourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to study the kinetics of gas-phase reactions of three lactones, γ-valerolactone (GVL), 2(5H)-furanone (2(5HF) and 3-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (3M2(5H)F) with Cl atoms, OH radicals and O3 respectively. The experiments were performed in a photochemical reactor at a total pressure of 700 Torr at room temperature (298±2 K). Both relative rate an

Determining the effective temperature of cool stars from near-infrared spectra

När vi tittar upp mot himlen kan vi urskilja skenet från tusentals strålande stjärnor. En mörk natt kan man också förnimma ett ljussvagt stråk som spänner över himlen; Vintergatan. Stråket består av (för ögat) oupplösta stjärnor, som tillsammans med gas och stoft sammanfogats under gravitationens inverkan för att, över tid, bilda vår hemgalax. Tittar man med ett teleskop kan man se en enorm variatContext. Effective temperature is one of the fundamental stellar parameters. A traditional spectroscopic way to determine it is from optical spectra using excitation balance of Fe-lines. With technological advances and the advent of the next generation telescopes there will be an emphasis on the relatively unexplored near-IR (NIR) wavelength region (1-5 μm). A method to determine the effective tem

Social perceptions of Personal Income Tax compliance from a Spanish perspective: estimating the impact of its legal framework

This research seeks to find how the Spanish society perceives Personal Income Tax compliance. By following the Slippery Slope Framework developed by Kirchler (2008) the study aims at measuring perceived trust and power of Spanish authorities. Higher levels of trust in authorities and power of authorities are proportional to raised levels of tax compliance. Estimating respondent´s perceptions as to

Motion-emotion metaphors in English, Swedish and Spanish: a cross-linguistic comparison

In cognitive linguistics there are three prevalent theoretical perspectives on metaphor: (universal) conceptual metaphors, discourse metaphors and language-consciousness interactionism. This thesis looked for evidence of support for these positions by conducting an empirical study comparing motion-emotion metaphors in English, Spanish and Swedish, focusing on the source domain MOTION. Following th
