  1. 6. Probabilistic Added Wave Resistance Predictions for Design of RoPax Ferries

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jonathan Viinikka; [2023]
    Keywords : Added wave resistance in head waves; Roll-on Roll-off Passenger ferry; Probabilistic wave environment; Semi-empirical method; Adderat vågmotstånd i motsjö; Roll-on Roll-off Passagerar Fartyg; Probabilistiska vågförhållanden; Semiempiriska beräkningsmethoder;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates reasons for significant uncertainties in added wave resistance predictionsand how wave conditions can potentially affect the design of RoPax ferries. The objectiveis to find a suitable prediction method of added wave resistance for the RoPax ferry designapplication. READ MORE

  3. 7. Developing Wastewater-based Early Warning System for the Detection of Disease Outbreaks and Emerging Variants with focus on SARS-CoV-2

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Ayda Kiyar; [2023]
    Keywords : wastewater-based epidemiology; early warning system; RT-qPCR; normalization; SARS-CoV-2; avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi; förvarningssystem; RT-qPCR; normalisering;

    Abstract : Under covid-19-pandemin har avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi (WBE) använts i stor utsträckning som ett komplement till kliniska tester över många delar av världen. Detta projekt syftade till att detektera och kvantifiera belastningen av Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) i avloppsvattenprover med hjälp av Revers transkriptas kvantitativ polymeraskedjereaktion (RT-qPCR).

  4. 8. Modeling Epidemics On Different Networks : Insights into Testing Strategies

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

    Author : Martin Bacic Mikkelsen; Daniel Kenas; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Modeling epidemics is of great interest because it allows us to anticipate and investigate what countermeasures like testing are more effective in slowing down the spread of a disease. In traditional mathematical modeling techniques, a society is represented as a singular entity where everyone can interact with everyone. READ MORE

  5. 9. Soil compaction and the effect on infiltration in urban green environments : A study based on field measurements and HYDRUS 1D modelling

    University essay from

    Author : Anastasia Novikova; [2023]
    Keywords : HYDRUS; surface runoff; soil compaction; urban environments;

    Abstract : The consequences of recent flooding and extreme rain events have highlighted the importance of proper urban planning and preventative measures for storm water management. As cities become more urbanized the significance of permeable surfaces such as parks and other urban green spaces increases which infiltrate the water into the ground. READ MORE

  6. 10. Comparison of drone ecology and behavior between Apis mellifera mellifera and the hybrid Buckfast in southwestern Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Finja Schaumann; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Most research on the biology of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) focuses on the worker bees, but knowledge about drones is lacking despite their important role in mating with a virgin queen. Available information about their ecology and behavior are mainly based on direct observations in need of intensive experience and knowledge about honey bees. READ MORE
