  1. 6. Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Jip Jan van Zoonen; [2020]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Digital Elevation Model; DEM; Glaciology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces This study explores methods to quantify and evaluate error in digital elevation models (DEMs) built from remotely sensed elevation data of the Hintereisferner glacier. A special focus lies on glacier surfaces because glaciers are often inaccessible for field observations but at the same time prone to measurement errors. READ MORE

  3. 7. Modelling of the Hong Kong Power System by 2030

    University essay from KTH/Energi och klimatstudier, ECS

    Author : Gauthier Pierre-Antoine Colonel-Bertrand; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China. As a former British colony on the South China Sea, it enjoyed early exposure to international trade. Hong Kong now features a developed liberal economy largely based on financial services. It is also densely populated and features little indigenous energy resources. READ MORE

  4. 8. Comparing head- and eye direction and accuracy during smooth pursuit in an augmented reality environment

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

    Author : Marcus Hogler; [2019]
    Keywords : Augmented reality; Eye tracking; Smooth pursuit; ;

    Abstract : Smooth pursuit is the movement that occurs when the eyes meticulously follow an object in motion. While smooth pursuit can be achieved with a stationary head, it generally relies on the head following the visual target as well. During smooth pursuit, a coordinating vestibular mechanism, shared by both the head and the eyes, is used. READ MORE

  5. 9. Analysis of Burkina Faso Electricity System

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

    Author : Robert Karisa Masumbuko; [2019]
    Keywords : Electricity; Burkina Faso; LEAP; renewable energy; vulnerability; climate change; Elektricitet; Burkina Faso; LEAP; förnybar energi; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Burkina Faso like many other Least Developed Countries (LDC) in their quest for sustainable development has realized that for there to be meaningful economic and social progress, prioritizing resilience to impacts of climate change is critical. In its National Adaptation Plan, a decrease in average rainfall is forecasted in the order of 150 mm by 2025, in comparison to an average annual value of 798mm for the period 1991 to 2016, and an increase in average temperatures between 1° C - 2.

  6. 10. Finite element modelling of strained nanowire heterostructures

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

    Author : Alexander Grape Wyke; [2019]
    Keywords : Strain; nanowire; heterostructure; physics; nanophysics; COMSOL; simulation; lattice; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : When two materials with different lattice constants are grown together, this generates stress between them, and therefore strain. This strain causes them to have different thermal and electrical properties, and this is especially important on the nanoscale where changes have large impacts. READ MORE
