  1. 1. Distortion and attenuation free gain-assisted Superluminal Propagtion in a Rare-Earth Doped Crystal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Antonius Johannes Renders; [2023]
    Keywords : Fast Light; Superluminal Propagation; Negative group velocity; Rare earth; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A light pulse that travels through a narrow spectral window, i.e. a frequency range of low absorption, within a strongly absorbing frequency range will be delayed due to strong dispersion. READ MORE

  3. 2. Haga Företagscenter - historical and preliminary technical investigation of a contaminated site in Anderstorp, Småland, Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Max Boestam; [2022-12-21]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Haga Företagscenter site in Anderstorp, Sweden has a long industrial history, which include the extensive use of chlorinated solvents. Trichloroethene (TCE) was used in large quantities here but the release to the environment has not been previously investigated. READ MORE

  4. 3. Quantification of peat volume change in Northern peatlands : A study of mires capacity to swell and shrink and its relation to mire age and land management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Anna Engman; [2022]
    Keywords : peatland; peat volume change; ecohydrology; specific storage; peatland age; torvmark; myr; torvvolymförändring; ekohydrologi; specifik magasinkoefficient; ålder;

    Abstract : Peatlands are important ecosystems that provide ecohydrological functions related to carbon storage and cycling, water quality, flood attenuation, and groundwater recharge. One key characteristic that gives peatlands these functions is the capacity to swell and shrink upon wetting and drying, commonly referred to as peat volume change. READ MORE

  5. 4. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

  6. 5. A valuation of ecosystem services from blue-green infrastructure for stormwater management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofia Anderzon; [2021]
    Keywords : Stormwater; blue-green infrastructure; urban ecosystem services; indicators; semi-quantitative valuation; Dagvatten; dagvattenhantering; blågrön infrastruktur; urbana ekosystemtjänster; indikatorer; semi-kvantitativ värdering;

    Abstract : The ongoing urbanization leads to densification and growth of cities, which replaces natural areas with hard surfaces. Precipitation is then more likely to runoff as stormwater than to be detained locally. Also, precipitation is predicted to be increasing as an effect of climate change. READ MORE
