  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. Sustainable and affordable housing in Nairobi, Kenya : An analysis of challenges and opportunities from the perspective of key actors

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Toyah Eglin; [2023]
    Keywords : affordable housing; sustainable buildings; local implementations; bioclimatic adaptations;

    Abstract : The global urban population is projected to grow rapidly in the coming years, leading to an increase in housing demand that is not always met with adequate supply of quality housing. In the low-and middle-income context of Kenya, this gap has led to the proliferation of sub-standard housing implementations, with significant social and environmental impacts. READ MORE

  4. 3. Low-Power Global Time Synchronization for the Contiki-NG Operating System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Arnis Gustins; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Time synchronization is a well-known problem in low-power embedded wireless networks. While many synchronization protocols exist, usually they are not standard-compliant or do not provide synchronization of a global calendar time which is required by many applications, such as event correlation and certificate validation.

  5. 4. Scalable Reinforcement Learning for Formation Control with Collision Avoidance : Localized policy gradient algorithm with continuous state and action space

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI); KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Andreu Matoses Gimenez; [2023]
    Keywords : Control theory; Multi-agent systems; Distributed systems; Formation control; Collision avoidance; Reinforcement learning; Teoria de control; Sistemes multiagent; Sistemes distribuïts; Control de formació; Prevenció de col·lisions; Reinforcement Learning; Reglerteknik; Multi-agent system; Distribuerade system; formationskontroll; Kollisionsundvikande; Reinforcement learning; Teoría de control; Sistemas multiagente; Sistemas distribuidos; Control de formación; Prevención de colisiones; Reinforcement Learning;

    Abstract : In the last decades, significant theoretical advances have been made on the field of distributed mulit-agent control theory. One of the most common systems that can be modelled as multi-agent systems are the so called formation control problems, in which a network of mobile agents is controlled to move towards a desired final formation.

  6. 5. Exploring Contextual Barriers to Implementing Mission-Oriented Innovation Towards Achieving Bioeconomic Shifts : A Case Study of Uppsala Region

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Julian Strömqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioeconomy; Bioeconomic shifts; Mission-oriented innovation; Innovation policy; Grand challenges; explicit knowledge; tacit knowledge; codification;

    Abstract : Tackling grand challenges such as anthropogenic climate change, urgently requires an increase in bio-based resource utilization in regard to offsetting fossil dependencies within industrial sectors, also known as bioeconomic shifts. Bioeconomic shifts can be achieved by implementing Mission-oriented innovation (MOI), which concerns facilitating and directing resources towards achieving predetermined missions. READ MORE
