  1. 1. Looking for the present in the past: Social-Ecological Memory and Palaeoecology to explore changes in Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta-Colombia

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

    Author : Lina Gutierrez Cala; [2020]
    Keywords : Palaeoecology; Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta; mangrove; coastal ecosystems;

    Abstract : Mangrove forests are unique coastal ecosystems, formed through a complex network of terrestrial, estuarine, and marine processes that have provided a diverse assortment of societal benefits across time. Compounding anthropogenic pressures are driving critical mangrove degradation worldwide, threatening the wellbeing of coastal populations historically associated with these systems. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hydraulic modelling of the vulnerability for compounding high sea levels and high river discharge on the Swedish coastline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hannah Berk; [2020]
    Keywords : Coastal floods; combined compound flood events; fluvial floods; LISFLOOD-FP; hydraulic modelling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Coastal floodplains are at risk for combined high discharge and sea level events. Consequences when they occur can be several magnitudes greater than the impact from any isolated event. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Power of Long-Term Profitability and Compounding Effects: Empirical Evidence from the US American Market

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Felipe Gómez de Larrain; Joachim Bersztel; [2016]
    Keywords : investment strategy; long-term horizon; return predictability; compounding effects;

    Abstract : For the US American market, we examine whether a ten-year non-rebalancing investment strategy that picks stocks largely based on historical return on equity and the degree to which a company reinvests earnings can beat the market. Delisted companies are sold and the proceeds reinvested along dividends at the market return, which we approximate by the Russell 3000 TR index. READ MORE

  5. 4. Fracture failure and influence of process parameters, material selection and moisture content on weld lines

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Kamlesh Rajasekaran; [2014]
    Keywords : Design of experiments; Fracture mechanics; Injection moulding; Moisture content; Polymer composites; Weld lines;

    Abstract : Weld line is the most common problem found in injection moulding and manufacturing. The aim of this thesis is to know what and how the factors influence the injection moulded weld line. The factors considered are process parameters, selection of materials and environment. READ MORE

  6. 5. Biodegradable Composites : Processing of thermoplastic polymers for medical applications.

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Ingenjörshögskolan

    Author : Behzad Damadzadeh; Hamideh Jabari; [2009]
