  1. 1. Constructing a civilized wilderness. An intersectional discourse analysis of the Sierra Club 1893-1910

    University essay from

    Author : Eleonor Ivdal; [2023-10-05]
    Keywords : the Sierra Club; intersectional theory; discourse analysis; civilization; American wilderness; national park movement; gender; class; race; ethnicity;

    Abstract : This study investigates if and how the Sierra Club adapted complex and contradictory rationalizations to legitimize their authority in wilderness and civilization. The study aims thereby to enhance our understanding of the origin narrative of the American preservation and conservation movement at the turn of the twentieth century which depicted white male heroes as discoverers and protectors of a pristine wilderness.

  3. 2. Optimization of loads and power production for wind turbines in Swedish conditions

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

    Author : Manikanta Viswanadha Prabhu Kankatala; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The project aims at quantifying differences in power production and fatigue loads for wind turbines placed in the Baltic sea and in forested, topographically-complex areas compared to turbines placed offshore and in flat terrain. Based on these results, suggestions will be provided on how to optimally site and operate turbines in these conditions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Henrik Hagelin; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Physical geography; Prometheus; WiSE-FASS; The 2014 Västmanland wildfire; Wildfire growth modelling; Wildfire suppression support; Wildfire behaviour; MESAN; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. READ MORE

  5. 4. Signed Distance Field For Deformable Terrain Shovel Collision Detection

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Johannes Strid; [2023]
    Keywords : Signed Distance Fields; Collision Detection; Deformable Terrain;

    Abstract : One commonly used representation of complex objects in physics-based simulations are triangle meshes. This representation utilizes a collection of triangles to approximate an object. An alternative representation is a Signed Distance Field (SDF). READ MORE

  6. 5. The influence of soil modeling on the prediction of vehicle dynamics and mobility – A comparison between the Finite Element Method and a Semi[1]Empirical Model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Jimmy Kjellqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the influence of soil modeling on vehicle dynamics and mobility predictions with a focus on two different soil models implemented in Project Chrono: the Bekker-Wong model, and a Finite Element (FE) model. The primary objective is to provide insights for decision-making regarding the most suitable soil model under specific circumstances. READ MORE
