The formal, more structured risk management requires a bigger effort from the people i
Event är korta tidsintervall som skiljer längre episoder med stabila oceaniska förhållanden från varandra. När cirkulationen i världshaven tillfälligt stängs av under ett event förändras fauna- och bergartssammansättningen, och även isotopförhållandena. Målet med detta arbete har varit att utröna hur de sensiluriska brachiopoderna reagerade på det globalt kända Lau Event. På Gotland omfattar det l

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Jonledning i Bränsleceller Jonkonduktivitet, eller jonledning, är viktigt i bl.a. bränsleceller. Bränsleceller använder sig av ett oxidationsmedel (oftast syrgas) och bränsle precis som andra förbränningskällor. Till skillnad från motorer som förbränner högenergetiskt bränsle med låg effektivitet och vanliga batterier som använder metaller med låg effektivitet kaIonic conductors have seen increased use over time. These are found in ion detectors, gas detectors and supercapacitors but finds special use in fuel cells and solar cells. Some ionic conductors are not only used as a conductor, but finds uses as insulators, ceramic blades or even as a diamond simulant. Most other works no ionic conductors concentrate on the general or macroscopic properties. Here
