  1. 16. On the geometry of calibrated manifolds : with applications to electrodynamics

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Rasmus Leijon; [2013]
    Keywords : Calibrations; geometry; plurisubharmonic functions; special Lagrangian; electrodynamics; manifolds.;

    Abstract : In this master thesis we study calibrated geometries, a family of Riemannian or Hermitian manifolds with an associated differential form, φ. We show that it isuseful to introduce the concept of proper calibrated manifolds, which are in asense calibrated manifolds where the geometry is derived from the calibration. READ MORE

    Abstract : With the environmental problems caused by man-induced pollution by persistent toxic compounds, the importance of finding remediation solutions is immense. As an emerging field, microbial environmental biotechnology may provide the tools to achieve novel solutions. READ MORE

  4. 18. Analysing citizen’s adaptive capacity: – Individual adaptation strategies in Helsingborg, Sweden before, during and after the Advent Storm in 2011

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Joakim Lindblad; [2012]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is predicted to lead to an increase in the frequency and severity of climate extremes and variability (IPCC 2007). The result is an increase in climate-related disasters in a world where, even without climate change, the number of disasters is already on the rise (UNISDR 2010). READ MORE

  5. 19. Users from a role perspective : A model to provide a user-centered system development process

    University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Ida Johansson; Stina Johansson; [2007]
    Keywords : Usability; users; user models; user portraits; user-centered; system development process; role profile; role profile model;

    Abstract : Today there exist several systems that lack usability. The reasons are, among others, the pressure to add more features in the system, but also that focus has been earlier on technology and functionality. It becomes more important to think of the user, so that systems can be more usable. READ MORE
