  1. 1. Soil compaction and the effect on infiltration in urban green environments : A study based on field measurements and HYDRUS 1D modelling

    University essay from

    Author : Anastasia Novikova; [2023]
    Keywords : HYDRUS; surface runoff; soil compaction; urban environments;

    Abstract : The consequences of recent flooding and extreme rain events have highlighted the importance of proper urban planning and preventative measures for storm water management. As cities become more urbanized the significance of permeable surfaces such as parks and other urban green spaces increases which infiltrate the water into the ground. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimalt pH-värde i åkermark för en effektiv växtproduktion : vilka rekommendationer finns i andra nordeuropeiska länder?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Kristina Wigfeldt; [2023]
    Keywords : mål-pH; kalkning; jordarter; grödor;

    Abstract : En effektiv, lönsam och hållbar växtproduktion vill de flesta lantbrukare i alla länder uppnå. Det är av största vikt att sträva efter ett optimalt pH då det är en variabel som påverkar de flesta kemiska reaktioner och processer i marken. READ MORE

  4. 3. Method evaluation for probing DNA sorption to clay minerals : Evaluation of fluorescent and spectroscopic quantification of DNA as well as DNA interactions of Kaolinite and Montmorillonite

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Oskar Wangdell; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The association of DNA/RNA to mineral surfaces is an emerging field with widespread applications from biotechnological solutions to paleogenetics. Evaluating available methods to quantify adsorption will be essential to further investigate how to control and predict loading of DNA onto minerals. READ MORE

  5. 4. The influence of passive measures on the highly demanding room climate requirements of a museum building in terms of sustainability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Jasmin Jost; [2021]
    Keywords : museum; museum climate; conservation requirements; climate risk assessment; indoor environment; thermal comfort; thermal mass; moisture buffering; hygroscopic materials; life cycle assessment LCA ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the exhibition space of a museum, a compromise between the requirements for the preservation of cultural goods and thermal comfort criteria for visitors has to be applied. Such a high level of control without allowing fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity poses a big challenge to the air conditioning systems to maintain these very specific hygrothermal conditions.
