21. Evaluation of Numerically Developed Models of an ECB for Estimating the Braking Torque on the SkiCrosser
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : Cross-country skiing is a popular method of exercising that builds strength, stamina and engages the entire body. As cross-country skiing requires snow to be present, it is typically only performed during the winter, resulting in a rather limited way of exercising. READ MORE

22. Front and rear irradiation distribution for different bifacial PV systems : Simulation and evaluation of the irradiation distribution on the solar PV panels at different albedo conditions using ray-tracing software
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknikAbstract : Bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules are a type of solar panel that has the capability to capture sunlight and generate electricity from both the front and rear sides of the modules. This work focuses on evaluating the irradiation on both the front and rear sides of bifacial PV modules for various system designs (vertical, tilted, and elevated) and under different ground albedo conditions (grass, snow, and bare soil) using ray-tracing software.

25. Climate effects of managed boreal forests : combining effects from carbon balance and albedo
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Boreal forests are considered as a global carbon (C) sink and are utilized for climate-change mitigation. Judging the climate impact of a forest solely on its C balance might leave an incomplete picture, since forest-climate feedbacks are also caused by various other biophysical and biogeochemical processes, e.g., albedo effects.
