  1. 1. Exploring the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties of quasi-low dimensional quantum magnets via thermodynamic measurements

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

    Author : Emelie Zhu; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maja Holm; [2024]
    Keywords : Physical geography; ecosystem science; soil organic carbon; soil sampling; perennial crops; carbon sequestration; carbon farming; Kernza™; soil organic carbon stock; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Concrete Limits: A sociometabolic analysis of the feasibility of the Circular Economy approach for the concrete sector

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Nicolette Simone Wedgwood Young; [2023]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research.

  5. 4. Intensifying Building Use: How the Cities of Amsterdam and Malmö Enable the Sharing of Spaces

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Sonja Leyvraz; [2023]
    Keywords : Building industry; circular economy; intensifying loops; urban governance; sharing economy.; Social Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In the building industry, circular economy has gained much attention in recent years, yet thus far, little research has been conducted on the topic of intensified building use, despite the great potential this strategy offers in terms of emission reduction. One way of intensifying building use can be through the sharing of spaces among different users at different times. READ MORE

  6. 5. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE
