1. 21. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Charlie van Houwelingen; Timothy Ley; [2021]
   Keywords : Coastal protection; nature-based solutions; salt marshes; salt meadows; sea level rise; wave damping; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE

3. 22. Numerical Investigation of the Near FieldZone Flow Behavior of Isothermal CornerImpinging Jet Ventilation Using CFD

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

   Author : Too-chukwu C. Ogbuagu; [2021]
   Keywords : Ventilation; Computational fluid dynamics;

   Abstract : Abstract The impinging jet ventilation's importance in providing better air distribution and energy-efficient operation, as well as both its heating and cooling flexibility potential cannot be overemphasized. This is because acceptable indoor air quality and its environmental conditions are essential to occupant’s wellbeing, comfort, productivity, and improved cognitive function. READ MORE

4. 23. Making the connection : Are post-tensioned CLT walls an economically sound option?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

   Author : Jakob Mehlig; Elisabeth Wade; [2021]
   Keywords : CLT; post-tensioned; shear wall; pre-stressed; cost; connections; stability;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to compare the cost of post-tensioned connection systems with conventional connections for the transferal of uplift forces in CLT stabilising walls. The desire for taller timber buildings has increased over time, in part due to environmental aspects but also to meet demands from an urbanizing population. READ MORE

5. 24. HÄLJARPS LYCKOR : ett stationsnära boende

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Anette Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : järnvägsstation; stationsnära planering; hållbar bebyggelse; utvecklingsområde; Häljarp; stationsort;

   Abstract : Idag reser vi allt mer och allt längre både privat och till vardags. Vårt utökade geografiska rörelsemönster har minskat antalet lokala arbetsmarknader. En allt mer sammankopplad region ger möjlighet för människor att bo i den mindre orten men ändå ha tillgång till flera arbetsmarknader i olika kommuner. READ MORE

6. 25. Beech provenance trail in Sweden : growth and timber quality evaluation

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Lukás Vanícek; [2021]
   Keywords : Beech; climate change; growth; provenance; Sweden; timber quality;

   Abstract : Provenance trails allow to test tree growth differences and meet current requirements for timber quality in a particular experimental site. The aim of this manuscript was to distinguish the differences in growth and timber quality features between European beech (Fagus sylvatica L. READ MORE
