1. 16. Indoor Air Pollution, Passive Ventilation Strategies and Thermal Comfort in Nepal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Marianne Löwgren; [2019]
   Keywords : Energy poverty; Solid biomass fuels; Improved cooking stoves; Indoor air pollution; Carbon monoxide; Vernacular architecture; Passive ventilation; Air exchange rate; Indoor air quality; Thermal comfort; Operative temperature; Sustainable societal development; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. READ MORE

3. 17. Thermal Comfort and Energy-Use in Urban Transitional Spaces- Bus stop in Slovenia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Saima Iqbal; [2019]
   Keywords : Thermal comfort; energy-use; UTCI; bus stop design; passive design strategies; climate-based design; energy-efficient; self-sufficient; solar integration.; Arts and Architecture; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Transportation plays an essential role in the European economy. The European Transport Policy aims to establish a sustainable means of transportation system to provide the social, economic and environmental needs of society contributing to an integrated society. READ MORE

4. 18. En fallstudie av The Travelling Transect : att upptäcka en plats i analys och design

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Emma Henriksson; [2019]
   Keywords : The Travelling Transect; transekt-er; Ytterön; platsanalys; efemära aspekter; designprocess;

   Abstract : Platsanalysen är en central och väsentlig del av designprocessen inom landskapsarkitektur för att den är med och skapar förståelsen av en plats såväl som ett landskaps förutsättningar. Designprocessen begränsas ofta av en kort tidsram med få eller inga platsbesök. READ MORE

5. 19. A Method to Examine Passive and Active Force Production, and their Correlations with Muscle Morphological Parameters for Healthy Children

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Elif Dumlu; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Muscle morphological and mechanical properties play a crucial role in explaining the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of muscle weakness, joint stiffness, muscle contraction, and the resultant loss of motor function in children. Information in the literature about how muscle architecture correlate with muscle force production in passive and active conditions in children is very limited. READ MORE

6. 20. Thermomechanical Design and Analysis of the Lisa Phase Measurement System

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

   Author : Pablo Martinez Cano; [2019]
   Keywords : LISA; PCB; temperature; passive; aluminum; aluminium;

   Abstract : Gravitational Waves (GWs) are ripples in the curvature of spacetime that propagate as waves at the speed of light while travelling basically undisturbed from the moment of their creation by accelerated masses. GWs provide unique information about astrophysical sources, such as binary systems, allowing their exploration under a wide range of masses, mass ratios and physical states inaccessible otherwise and therefore opening a new window to observe the universe.
