Cementstabiliserad asfalt (CSA) är ett kompositslitlager bestående av en asfaltbeläggning med högt hålrum som är fyllt med en cementbaserad slamma. Produkten kan därför kallas för ett semiflexibelt slitlager på grund av att egenskaper från både asfalt och betong kombineras. Egenskaperna som kännetecknar CSA är asfaltens elasticitet samt cementens bärighet och beständighet, hög motståndskraft mot kCement stabilized asphalt (CSA) is a composite layer consisting of an asphalt with high cavity which is filled with a cement-based slurry. The product can therefore be called a semiflexible wearing course because of its combined characteristics from both asphalt and concrete. The characteristic features of CSA are the asphalts elasticity and the cements buoyancy and resistance, high resistance aga

I grund- och gymnasieskolan har omkring 25 procent av eleverna en bakgrund i andra länder, och om vissa kriterier uppfylls har dessa rätt till modersmålsundervisning. Att som andraspråkstalare ha ett starkt modersmål kan gynna inlärni

Trafikverket har tillsammans med andra aktörer inom bygg- och anläggningssektorn bland annat satt upp som mål att utsläpp av växthusgaser ska minskas med 50 % år 2030 jämfört med år 2015. I anläggningsprojekt utgör transport av schaktmassor den största delen av utsläppen. Ofta är dessutom hanteringen av massor ineffektiv då även rena massor som hade kunnat återanvändas transporteras till deponi.

Ditt dricksvatten kan innehålla hälsofarligt kadmium från berggrunden Har du dricksvatten från egen brunn hemma? Eller har du sommarstuga på landet med egen brunn? Då bör du se till att regelbundet provta ditt vatten! Grundvatten är generellt renare än ytvatten, och i vissa fall är det så rent att det kan drickas utan föregående behandling. Men grundvatten kan också innehålla ämnen som är skadliCadmium poses a threat to both human health and the environment. In this study, cadmium levels in groundwater in the area around Rörums Fur in the municipality of Simrishamn, Sweden, and their potential sources were mapped, with the aim of getting an overview of the cadmium situation in the area. For this purpose, groundwater analysis data from various sources were compiled and compared to informa

This thesis introduces TrustNet, a flexible and distributed system for deriving, and interacting with, computational trust. The focus of the thesis is applying TrustNet as a tool within distributed chat systems for implementing a subjective moderation system. Two distributed chat systems, Secure Scuttlebutt and Cabal, are discussed, the latter having been extended with a proof of concept implement
