  1. 1. INDUCTIVE RAILWAY SWITCH POINT HEATING : Improved control algorithm and phase compensation analysis for an inductive turnout heating system, and comparison with a resistive heating system

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Erik Nordlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Inductive switch point heating; Turnout heating; railway turnout heating; Inductive heating;

    Abstract : Railway turnout heating is essential during the winter because snow and ice can hinder the movement of the switch. In Sweden, heating has traditionally been done using resistive heating wires mounted to the stock rail, but the technology is outdated and generally exhibits low efficiency and performance.

  4. 3. Hårfällor för järv : en studie i alternativa inventeringsmetoder

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Tove Hydén; [2023]
    Keywords : järv; inventering; stora rovdjur; DNA; DNA-inventering; hårfälla;

    Abstract : Järv är ett mytomspunnet djur som vi vet relativt lite om i jämförelse med andra stora rovdjur. Järven tillhör mårddjuren och har en cirkumpolär utbredning i Europa, Asien och Nordamerika. i Skandinavien förekommer den främst kring fjällkedjan men utbredningsområdet ökar. READ MORE

  5. 4. Reprocessing weather data from Smart Stake weather stations on the Greenland ice sheet

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Leon Lovén; [2023]
    Keywords : ice sheet; data processing; weather station; Greenland; GEUS; Smart Stake; istäcke; databehandling; väderstation; Grönland; GEUS;

    Abstract : To identify a climate trend, a lot of data is required for the conclusion to be accurate. A trend can require 30 years worth of measurements in order to say anything with certainty about how the climate is changing. It is therefore important to utilize every source of data in climate research. READ MORE

  6. 5. Remote Sensing of Cryospheric Surfaces : Small Scale Surface Roughness Signatures in Satellite Altimetry Data

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Petter Ideström; [2023]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Altimetry; Arctic; Cryosphere; ICESat-2; Cryosat-2; Svalbard;

    Abstract : The Arctic cryosphere is experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the rest of the world due to Arctic amplification. As glacier elevation change provide reliable evidence of climate change it is routinely measured by satellite altimeters. READ MORE
