4. 43. Smart Hydroponics : Conceptual Design of Hydroponic Plant System for Home Environment

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

   Author : Erik Földhazy; [2018]
   Keywords : Industrial Design Engineering; User Experience; Sustainability; Product Design; Human- Centered Design; Hydroponics; Teknisk Design; Användarupplevelse; Hållbarhet; Produktdesign; Human-Centered Design; Hydroponik;

   Abstract : Hydroponics is a method of cultivating plants without the use of soil. Soil acts as a growth medium which gives plants stability, provides nutrients and allows roots to be kept wet without drowning. In hydroponics the soil’s functions are replaced by synthesized methods. Stability comes from a substrate (i. READ MORE

5. 44. Method evaluation : Electrical surface resistance measurements on coated conductive textiles

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Grete Wisung; [2018]
   Keywords : Electrical surface resistance; four-point probe; conductive textiles; conductive coatings; anisotropic materials.;

   Abstract :  This thesis has evaluated how electrical surface resistance can be measured on conductive coated textiles using two different probes. The electrical surface resistance is a measurement for how difficult it is for current to flow through a material. READ MORE

6. 45. Fire Risk and Vulnerability in Urban Informal Settlements in Metro Manila

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Darlene Rini; [2018]
   Keywords : Urban fire risks; informal settlement fires; urban fire risk management; GIS; URDI; urban disasters; risk indexing; fire statistics; Metro Manila; Quezon City; Science General;

   Abstract : Urban fires, particularly in informal settlements in rapidly urbanizing cities in the developing world, are an “everyday disaster” that oftentimes goes unnoticed or under-served in the face of disturbances of the more “lethal reputation”. These disturbances of normal existence are arguably the most debilitating to vulnerable communities and sustainable development, and yet get little attention in disaster literature or in practice.
