  1. 1. Study of a vertical slot fish ladder : Evaluation of flow dynamics through a standardized bypass and the effect of predesigned roughness elements

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Iñigo Revilla; Laia Pons; [2020]
    Keywords : Vertical slot fishway; roughness element; pattern; slope; velocity; turbulence; Fluent;

    Abstract : Migrating freshwater fish population has been significantly declined, mostly by the obstruction of their migratory routes by hydropower dams. To diminish such impacts, fish ladders have been developed to facilitate the passage of migrating fish. READ MORE

  3. 2. Urban Growth and Environmental Risks - A GIS-Based Analysis of Landslide Susceptibility in Bukavu (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för geografi

    Author : Simon Paul; [2019]
    Keywords : Bukavu; Landslides; Environmental Risks; GIS; Urban Growth; Slope Inclination; Land Cover; D. R. Congo; South Kivu; Satellite Data; Digital Elevation Model;

    Abstract : The city of Bukavu, located at the eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the province of South Kivu, is a large and densely populated urban agglomeration that has experienced rapid growth during recent years. At the same time, Bukavu has been repeatedly struck by environmental hazards, especially by devastating landslides. READ MORE

  4. 3. Simulation of Lower Limb Muscle Activity During Inclined Slope Walking

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

    Author : Ganesh Prasanth Arumuganainar; [2019]
    Keywords : Simulation OpenSim VICON Motion Capture Lower Limb Muscle Activity Analysis Inclined Slope Ramp Gait Analysis Biomechanics Considerations Robotic Exoskeleton Design;

    Abstract : Robotic exoskeletons are designed to assist patients with motor dysfunctions. Recent researches focus on extending the robotic assistance to patient activities other than ground level walking. This study aims to analyse the lower limb muscle activity during inclined slope walking contrasting with that of ground level walking. READ MORE

  5. 4. Low slope roofs : Moisture transfer in inverted roofs constantly exposed to high moisture loads and drainage systems

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik

    Author : Charalampos Antonopoulos; [2017]
    Keywords : inverted roofs; green roofs; corrosion; corrosion protection; paint coatings; drainage; horizontal valleys; drains; overflows;

    Abstract : Low slope roofs are roofs with an inclination between 1:16 and 1:4 and have been constructed and preferred for many years due to the benefits they present. The goal of the present work is to study the following problems of low slope roofs, as they are suggested by previous relevant theses and the current needs of the market. READ MORE

  6. 5. Developing a web-based system to visualize vegetation trends by a nonlinear regression algorithm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Yufei Wei; [2016]
    Keywords : PolyTrend; nonlinear regression algorithm; vegetation trends; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; NDVI; Web Development; Django; MATLAB; Python; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Comparing with traditional linear regression methods that used to monitor vegetation trends, a nonlinear regression algorithm (PolyTrend) developed by Jamali et al. (2014) can provide more accurate information of vegetation trends by fitting a polynomial line with a degree of up to three for ASCII-formed time-series NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) dataset of a single pixel.
