1. 1. Hibernation Sites and Activity of Bats During Winter

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Jacqueline Nelms; [2023]
   Keywords : bats; temperate bats; hibernation; winter activity; temperature; hibernation sites; fladdermöss; tempererade fladdermöss; övervintring; vinteraktivitet; temperatur; övervintringsplatser;

   Abstract : In the temperate region, bats have evolved the strategy of hibernation to survive the harsh winter. During hibernation, bats enter the vulnerable state of torpor that requires specific environmental conditions to function optimally. Bats are known to use caves and anthropogenic structures as hibernation sites. READ MORE

3. 2. Variations on a Wave : A case for nature, music and concert halls - Norrland's Philharmonia and Music Centre

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitet

   Author : Carl Blix; [2022]
   Keywords : Architecture; music; mental health; waves; nature; concert hall; philharmony; biophilic design;

   Abstract : Music listening has experienced one of its major paradigm shifts in this latest generation, taking the step from analogue media into the digital sphere. Today a human can reduce stress levels by limiting noise and disturbances to shut away unwanted impressions, to find peace and tranquility or strength and courage. READ MORE

4. 3. Implementing a multi-criteria GIS analysis and predictive modelling to locate Upper Palaeolithic decorated caves in the Périgord noir, France

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Benjamin Bernard Fabien Gérard Borgeais; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; MCDA; MCE; MCDM; MCA; predictive modelling; archaeology; decorated caves; Upper Palaeolithic; Périgord; Dordogne; Vézère; France; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Geographical Information Systems are a powerful tool for the processing of geographical data and can be used to implement predictive modelling for the purpose of archaeological research. The study presented here proposes a predictive model based on multi-criteria evaluation, and aims at analysing the parameters of known Upper Palaeolithic decorated caves in the Périgord noir, in southwest France.

5. 4. Planetary Mineral Database Development and Validation of Spectra Classification Methods

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Sam Taylor; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Future astronauts working on planetary bodies need to have a detailed understanding of their surroundings and get real-time feedback from their tools to properly explore these bodies. As such, the ESA PANGAEA course trains astronauts in astrobiology and geology to help with their research as well as providing analytical techniques for sampling and scientific analysis in the field.

6. 5. Hydraulic Erosion Simulation on the GPU for 3D terrains

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

   Author : Sebastian Isheden; [2022]
   Keywords : Hydraulic Erosion; 3D erosion; CUDA; erosion; simulation; Vatten Erosion; 3D erosion; CUDA; erosion; simulering;

   Abstract : Erosion is the action of various natural processes, such as water flow, wind and gravity, that displaces material from one area to another. Creating physically-based models of these complex phenomena has been a major challenge in creating realistic terrain in video games in a fast way, without having a 3D artist model the terrain by hand.
