  1. 16. Local traversability assessment in an unmanned ground vehicle : An analysis of mobility on the UGV Husky

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Kidus Y. Getahun; [2023]
    Keywords : UGV; Husky; Robotics Operating System; Traversability Estimation; Vehicle Dynamics; Elevation Mapping; UGV; Husky; Framkomlighets Bedömning; Fordonsdynamik;

    Abstract : This thesis project aims to learn and understand more about implementing a path planner to the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), UGV Husky, specifically its traversability algorithm, and investigate how it could be further improved. A surrounding grid is generated around the UGV where each cell contains information connected to its traversability. READ MORE

  3. 17. SOLAR WIND HEATING OBSERVED BY SOLAR ORBITER

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Karan Pal; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this project, we investigate the plasma heating associated with coherent structures, such as current sheets and vortices, in different solar wind conditions: slow solar wind, stream interaction regions, and heliospheric current sheets, observed by the Solar Or- biter mission. To unravel this mystery, we first use the Partial Variance of Increment method [1] to locate these coherent structures. READ MORE

  4. 18. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

  5. 19. Understanding Access to Clean Cooking Fuels in Kenya

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Manuel Enrique Salas Salazar; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adoption of clean cooking fuels is conditioned by factors known as barriers and enablers, which characterize the decision-making environment of a household. Access to clean cooking is a target part of the Sustainable Development Goals, yet it currently stands at 19.5% in Kenya. READ MORE

  6. 20. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Nils Helge Havertz; [2023]
    Keywords : Microtopography modelling; Remote sensing; Boreal mixed mires; Object Based Image Analysis OBIA ; random forest RF ;

    Abstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.
