  1. 21. A Comparative Analysis of Decommissioning Scenarios Based on Radiation Dose Modeling and Multi-criteria Decision Analysis for Oskarshamn Nuclear Reactor 3 : Lessons Learned from Operating Experience in the Reuse of Decommissioned Sites

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : May AlAli; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An increasing number of decommissioning activities are being undertaken worldwide at facilities where radioactive material has been produced, used, or managed, which will also be the case of the Oskarshamn nuclear reactor O3 in Sweden, the remaining operational unit at that power plant. Decommissioning, which seems to be the sign of ending, is, in fact, a future-oriented process that can prove successful the safe management of nuclear facilities throughout their entire lifetimes but especially after shutdown.

  3. 22. Keeping the (Waste) Heat in the City

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Romy Kölmel; [2020]
    Keywords : waste heat recovery; district heating; energy governance; governance instruments; modes of governance; Law and Political Science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The recovery of ‘waste heat’ from industrial and urban processes could meet a significant share of heating demands in urban and semi-urban areas. Replacing conventional heat sources in district heating (DH) systems with recovered heat could decrease primary energy inputs in a sector that globally relies to 90% on fossil fuels. READ MORE

  4. 23. Motivationsfaktorer till val av träbyggnader : en jämförande fallstudie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Sunne Mari Adler; Daniel Gourie; [2020]
    Keywords : materialval; miljöval; motivationsfaktorer; resurseffektivisering;

    Abstract : I en tid när hållbarhetsarbete och miljöfrågor är aktuella är det även viktigt att bygga mer klimatsmart. Träbyggen anses vara mer miljövänliga eftersom de har lägre koldioxidutsläpp och primärenergianvändning än stål och betong. READ MORE

  5. 24. Time series analysis for spring barley phenology monitoring using Sentinel 2 – A case study of Southern-central Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Pavlos Aslanis; [2020]
    Keywords : spring barley; crop phenology; crop growth stages; TIMESAT; double logistic; threshold optimization; Sentinel 2; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Monitoring crop phenology at parcel scale aligns with the concept of precision agriculture (PA) and can provide invaluable information to agronomic management systems. Satellite time series data are commonly deployed for detecting crop growth stages, while the recent advancements in remote sensing (RS) technologies such as the launch of Sentinel 2 (S2) are providing unprecedented opportunities for crop monitoring.
