  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Establishing High-Temperature Models for Leakage Current in Gated Lateral Bipolar Junction Transistors

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Jimmy Atterstig; [2024]
    Keywords : Electronics; leakage current; brokaw bandgap; semiconductor physics; gauss-newton;

    Abstract : Power-efficient circuits are a vital step in moving towards a greener future. Battery life can get substantially improved by decreasing the amount of power a circuit needs. Lower power also leads to less excess heat generated. READ MORE

  4. 3. Peak Load Shaving Strategies of an Office Building : A Case Study at AirSon

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Azin Farzam; [2024]
    Keywords : Shifting Peak Load; Electricity Reduction; Measuring Peak Load; Electricity Efficiency; Building Management System; Electricity Consumption.;

    Abstract : Introduction: The global demand for renewable energy is expected to grow annually due to rising electricity consumption and economic and regulatory incentives. Efficient consumption and management of electricity consumption can support this trend (shifting from fossil resources to renewable resources) and benefit companies economically by reducing peak loads, reducing subscription costs, and protecting companies' power systems and networks.

  5. 4. Identifying Graph Characteristics in Growing Vascular Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Finn Plummer; [2024]
    Keywords : Anigogenesis; Vascular Networks; Network Science;

    Abstract : One of the ways that a vascular network grows is through the process of angiogenesis, wherebya new blood vessel forms as a branch from an existing vessel towards an area which isstimulating vascular growth. Due to the demands for nutrients and waste transport, growingtumour cells will access the surrounding vascular network by inducing angiogenesis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Exploring the Depth-Performance Trade-Off : Applying Torch Pruning to YOLOv8 Models for Semantic Segmentation Tasks

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

    Author : Xinchen Wang; [2024]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Semantic segmentation; Network optimization; Network pruning; Torch Pruning; YOLOv8; Network Depth; Djup lärning; Semantisk segmentering; Nätverksoptimering; Nätverksbeskärning; Fackelbeskärning; YOLOv8; Nätverksdjup;

    Abstract : In order to comprehend the environments from different aspects, a large variety of computer vision methods are developed to detect objects, classify objects or even segment them semantically. Semantic segmentation is growing in significance due to its broad applications in fields such as robotics, environmental understanding for virtual or augmented reality, and autonomous driving.
