1. 11. The Almighty Quasar — Destroyer of Worlds

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

   Author : Julia Ahlvind; [2019]
   Keywords : Astronomy; Habitability; Quasars; Active galactic nucleus; AGN;

   Abstract : In the study of habitability of terrestrial exoplanets, both life-supporting conditions and the prevalence of transient life-threatening events need to be considered. One type of hazardous effect that has so far not received much attention is the thermal effect of a nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN), or in this particular case, the class of the AGN known as a quasar.

3. 12. Dynamic analysis of high-rise timber buildings : A factorial experiment

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Victor Karlberg; [2017]
   Keywords : Acceleration; comfort criteria; cross-laminated timber; factorial design; finite element analysis; natural frequency; vibrations; Acceleration; komfortkrav; korslimmat trä; faktorförsök; finita elementmetoden; naturlig egenfrekvens; vibrationer;

   Abstract : Today high-rise timber buildings are more popular than ever and designers all over the world have discovered the beneficial material properties of timber. In the middle of the 1990’s cross-laminated timber (CLT), was developed in Austria. CLT consists of laminated timber panels that are glued together to form a strong and flexible timber element.

4. 13. Measurement of the convective heat transfer with wind : Developing and testing an Earth Scaled Atmospheric Temperature Sensor

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Philipp Wittmann; [2016]
   Keywords : Wind; ATS; heat transfer; air temperature sensor; atmospheric temperature sensor;

   Abstract :    The HAbitability, Brine Irradiation and Temperature Package (HABIT) instrument of the ExoMars Surface Platform will investigate the present day habitability of Mars at the near surface environment. This instrument includes three Atmospheric Temperature Sensor's (ATS's) which are similar to the ones previously used on the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, that has now been operating on Mars for more than four years.

5. 14. Field-Site Prototype for HABIT (FSP-HABIT) : Characterizing Martian Salts Prior to the ExoMars 2020 Mission

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Johannes Güttler; [2016]
   Keywords : Mars; Brine; Perchlorate; Chloride; HABIT; ExoMars; ESA; IKI; Prototype; Conductivity; BOTTLE ENVPACK; Salt;

   Abstract : One of the major remaining question about Mars is its habitability - if the requirements necessary to allow for life are presently fulfilled. One of the most relevant ingredients for life, as we know it, is water. Indirect evidence of transient liquid water on Mars has been retrieved from both rover [Martín-Torres et al. READ MORE

6. 15. A genetic analysis of traits recorded by automatic milking systems - the possibility for a new method to evaluate temperament of dairy cows

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Author : Rinell Ellen; [2013]
   Keywords : Temperament; automatic milking system; habitability; behaviour; genetic correlations; dairy cow; milking interval; teat cup kick-offs;

   Abstract : The increasing popularity of automatic milking systems beginning in Northern Europe and spreading to other parts of the world requires a re-evaluation of breeding goals for dairy cattle. Workability traits, including temperament, become more important because cows must make their own way to the milking unit and stand quietly while being milked. READ MORE
