  1. 16. Synergistic fire- and mechanical effect of biochar and ammonium polyphosphate in epoxy composite

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Anton Olausson; Ludvig Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ammonium polyphosphate; Biochar; Composite; Epoxy; Synergistic effect;

    Abstract : Polymer composites are used in a varying extent and are challenging the use of traditional materials due to the push towards sustainable development. They have replaced steels and aluminum alloys in applications. READ MORE

  3. 17. Evaluation of structurally controlled rockfall hazard for underground excavations in seismically active areas of the Kiirunavaara mine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Manuel Alberto Fuentes Espinoza; [2023]
    Keywords : Structurally controlled rockfalls; rockfalls due to seismic shaking; sublevel caving; fork layout; Unwedge; wedge analysis; deterministic analysis; probabilistic analysis;

    Abstract : Sublevel caving operations at great depths are subjected both to large stress concentrations that are redistributed as the mining front progresses and to mining-induced seismicity. This is the case for Kiirunavaara mine, Sweden’s largest underground mine. READ MORE

  4. 18. IoT - based Microseismic Detector

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Anton Lindgren; [2023]
    Keywords : IoT; accelerometer; microphone; BLE; embedded;

    Abstract : Rockfall, which is the detachment of rocks from a mountain, is a major hazard in the mining industry. To help combat this issue, this thesis aims to develop a sensor platform that is able to detect both the potential risk for rockfall and if any rocks do hit the ground. READ MORE

  5. 19. African Climate Hazard Assessment - A composite index assessing national vulnerability to climate change

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Josefine Falk; Otto Fjelkner; [2023]
    Keywords : Composite Index; Climate Vulnerability; Assessment; African Nations; Acute Physical Hazards; Chronic Physical Hazards; Systemic Hazards; Exposure; Multidimensional Approach; Sensitivity; Adaptation; Indicators; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The study is compiled into a composite index for assessing the climate vulnerability of African nations. By employing a multidimensional approach, the index comprises nine distinctive hazards to examine a country’s sensitivity to climate change. READ MORE

  6. 20. Evaluating Direct3D 12 GPU Resource Synchronization on Performance and Cache Operations

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Fakulteten för datavetenskaper

    Author : Nadhif Ginola; [2023]
    Keywords : Direct3D 12; Barrier; Cache; Data Hazard; Synchronization; Direct3D 12; Barriärer; Cache; Datarisk; Synkronisering;

    Abstract : Background. Lower-level graphics programming interfaces such as Direct3D 12 re-quire synchronization and data hazards between dependent workloads to be resolvedmanually. A barrier is a primitive used to resolve synchronization and data hazardsin a manner to achieve correct behavior by allowing developers to define waits be-tween workloads. READ MORE
