  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluating and optimizing Transformer models for predicting chemical reactions

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Siva Manohar Koki; Supriya Kancharla; [2023-10-23]
    Keywords : Chemformer; transformer; evaluation; explainable AI; fine-tuning; machine learning;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we assess the effectiveness of a transformer model specifically trained to predict chemical reactions. The model, named Chemformer, is a sequence-tosequence model that uses the transformer’s encoder and decoder stacks. READ MORE

  4. 3. Coupling between iron and humic substances in a land-sea transitional zone in the northern Baltic Sea

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anna Osterman; [2023]
    Keywords : Iron; Humic substances; Dissolved organic carbon; Baltic Sea; Rivers;

    Abstract : In marine ecosystems around the world, iron (Fe) is a well-studied and important trace element which has been found to stimulate phytoplankton and cyanobacteria growth, as well as limit nitrogen fixation and being essential for Legionella pneumophila which is known as the main cause of Legionnaires’ disease. Fe also contributes to the brownification of freshwater and has recently been documented to increase in concentration in rivers in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a PNA-drug conjugate for pretargeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Theranostics

    Author : Astrid Haraldsson; [2023]
    Keywords : PNA; pretargeting; cancer therapy; cytotoxic payload;

    Abstract : One of the major challenges in cancer treatment is delivering high enough doses of active substance specifically to cancer cells without accumulation in healthy organs. Pretargeting has emerged as a potential solution, where the delivery of a cancer recognizing (primary) agent and a cancer killing (secondary) agent are separated. READ MORE

  6. 5. Quantum Espionage

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Carlo Ninic Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Quantum Nano Photonics; SNSPD; OTDR; Nano Kvantfotonik; SNSPD; OTDR;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the security of optical fiber communication and demonstrates the feasibility of eavesdropping using different tapping methods and superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). Methods for surveillance against fiber intrusion are also investigated. READ MORE
