Oskarshamn is one of the municipalities being discussed as a possible site for disposal of nuclear waste from the Swedish nuclear power plants, and there has been inquiries made for a pilot study in the area. In view of this the local council of Oskarshamn appointed a ´Youth team´, consisting of ten young politicians from all political parties represented in the local council. The aim of the team was to inform and create debate among adolescents about how to store the radioactive waste from nuclear power plants. The purpose of this survey, addressed to young people in Oskarshamn, was to shed light on their opinion towards a pilot study and possible disposal of nuclear waste in Oskarshamn. The respondents had to answer questions about their opinion on the use of nuclear power in Sweden, if they believed nuclear power to be abolished by year 2010, and about their general interest in issues concerning energy and nuclear power. Other questions concerned risks associated with nuclear power, the influence different groups have/ought to have when it comes to disposal of nuclear waste, and if the respondent would accept a decision to dispose nuclear waste in Oskarshamn. A number of questions dealt with the suggested pilot study; if the respondent was for or against a pilot study; who should decide about the pilot study; if there had been enough information about the study; and if the respondent had attended any meeting, signed any petition, contacted any politician, contacted or participated in mass media, or tried to influence anyone´s opinion on any issue concerning the pilot study. The respondents also had to state the issues they considered to be important to study in a pilot study. Furthermore the respondents had to give their opinion about a number of risks discussed in connection with disposal of nuclear waste in Oskarshamn. Other questions concerned the influence on job opportunities and tourism. Demographic items include age, gender, marital status, children, education, occupation, and trade union membership.

Abstract High power pseudocapacitors are extremely relevant to answer specific needs in the current energy transition arena and to implement an efficient renewable energy society. However, literature shows that are still open gaps concerning improvement of their energy density at high power, conversion efficiency, cost and cycle life. Electrodes based on active transition metal compounds, and in particular metal sulphides, evidence high potential to meet these objectives. This work discusses the dependence on the synthesis route of the charge storage mechanism of manganese sulphide-based materials and relates the pseudocapacitive response of these electrodes with their polycrystalline nature. Results reveal that a manganese oxy-sulphide mixture can achieve a high specific capacitance of 231 F.g−1 at 0.5 A/g in a 0.65 V active window. These values represent a 31.5 % increase compared to pure rambergite, γ-MnS, and 436 % compared to pure hausmannite Mn3O4 prepared under the same conditions. Moreover, the results show that manganese oxy-sulphide electrodes are characterized by good charge retention (73%), and superior long term capacity retention (above 86%) after 5000 cycles, evidencing potential for high power energy storage applications.

Artículos en revistas It is shown how a standard nonlinear programming approach can be applied to solve a sophisticated version of the static optimal mix problem in generation planning. The model presented includes technical minima of thermal capacity, detailed operating models of storage-hydro and pumped-hydro units, a realistic model of capital costs for hydro plants, operating reserve and minimum demand constraints, and capacity already in existence. The model formulation is in a format that can be directly handled by the well-known MINOS code and can be efficiently solved. The use of a general-purpose nonlinear optimization program results in a great flexibility, making it possible to modify the model formulation easily or to adapt it to the characteristics of a particular electric system. A realistic application to the Spanish generation system is presented info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Maps of Köppen classification are done from Temperature and precipitation obtained by the Global Circulation Model IPSL-CM5A-LR. The model runs under different scenarios: RCP8.5 and ice sheets melting superimposed to RCP8.5.To reproduce the ice-sheet melting, freshwater is put in the North Atlantic (corresponds to Greenland melting) or around West-Antarctica. Freshwater is introduced between 2020 and 2070 under the RCP8.5 scenario and the total volume corresponds to a sea level rise of 0.5m, 1m, 1.5m and 3m. For the Antarctica and Greenland + Antarctic scenarios, only the 3m scenario is available.Five time series of Global Köppen classification with 20-year running mean are available in this repository. The maps are produced annually with a resolution of 0.5 ° X0.5 ° and contain the 31 classes of Köppen.1951 and 2005 for historical run (historical)2006 and 2099 for RCP8.5 scenarios (RCP85)2006 and 2099 for Greenland melting (GrIS05m, GrIS1m, GrIS15m, GrIS3m)2006 and 2099 for Antamelting (WAIS3m)2006 and 2099 for Greenland melting (GrWAIS3m)The annual maps are in Geotiff format produced by raster library with R langage. Each Köppen's class corresponds to a number between 0 (sea) and 35. The Excel file (Descriptions of classification.xlsx) give the correspondance between the number and the Köppen classification name (abreviations or full name). The legendQGIS_Koppen.qpt permits to draw map from each geotiff file with the correct classes and colors with QGIS.
