1. 1. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

3. 2. Win-Wind situation? The Local Labor Market and Wind Power Investments in Sweden

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Alfred Arnborg; [2023]
   Keywords : Renewable energy; Labor market; Difference-in-differences; Local projections;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the local economic impacts of wind power deployment in Sweden, focusing on the net labor market effects. Using a difference-in-differences model and a local projections model, the study quantifies the impact of wind power investments on unemployment at the municipal level. READ MORE

4. 3. Displays of Deference, Projections of Power : The English East India Company in Japan, 1615–1622

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Historiska institutionen

   Author : Tami Hioki; [2023]
   Keywords : English East India Company; Hirado; Japan; Richard Cocks; Tokugawa shogunate; connected histories; cosmopolitanism; power relations; global interactions;

   Abstract : From 1613 to 1623, the English East India Company (EIC) maintained a trading post at Hirado, Japan. This trading post was one of the first that the EIC established, and because England was far from the empire it would one day become, Company members had to adjust to local customs and respect the laws of Japan in order to conduct business there.

5. 4. Renewable Energy and Sweden : An overview of how different regions in Sweden work towards an increase in implementation of renewable energy.

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Joel Espling; Alfred Sjölander; [2023]
   Keywords : renewable energy; solar power; wind power; Sweden; interview study; modelling of solar and wind potential; future energy systems;

   Abstract : The goal of achieving carbon neutrality for year 2045 puts Sweden on a road towards further implementation of renewable energy into their energy system. The goal of this degree project is to investigate how the implementation of renewable energy in Sweden is worked towards on a regional level but also to explore how this expansion might look for the Norra Småland Region.

6. 5. Beyond Traditional Tomography: X-ray Multi-projection Imaging for Additive Manufacturing

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

   Author : Maria Esther Vilar Alvarez; [2023]
   Keywords : X-ray tomography; X-ray multiprojection-imaging; deep learning; additive manufacturing; synchrotron radiation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to push the limits of 3D X-ray imaging by studying the minimum number of projections required to retrieve high-quality reconstructions for additive manufacturing processes. This project first focuses on understanding how X-ray tomography works, by reconstructing additive manufacturing data already obtained (from PSI, TOMCAT beamline) using two standard reconstruction algorithms, GRIDREC and SIRT.
