  1. 6. Georgian Environmental Kuznets Curve: An Appropriate Estimation.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Farahim Suleymanli; [2022]
    Keywords : Environmental Kuznets Curve; integrated processes; Planetary Boundary; Environmental Degradation Index; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. READ MORE

  3. 7. Experimental characterization of focal ratio degradation of optical fibers due to various coupling technologies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Isabella Rudengren; Julia Dahlberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Focal ratio degradation; Optical fibers; Light losses; Coupling technologies; Fusing technology; FRD; Collimated beam test;

    Abstract : The goal of this project was to develop a measuring method and software code to determine and compare the focal ratio degradation of optical fibers for two different coupling technologies. One of the couplings used a fusing technology to splice the fiber, and the other coupling used a refractive index matching technology. READ MORE

  4. 8. Maximizing performance gain of Variable Rate Shading tier 2 while maintaining image quality : Using post processing effects to mask image degradation

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Fredrik Lind; Andrés Diaz Escalante; [2021]
    Keywords : Variable Rate Shading; VRS; Adaptive shading; Rendering optimization; Image based shading; Variable Rate Shading; VRS; Adaptiv skuggning; Renderingsoptimering; Bildbaserad skuggning;

    Abstract : Background. Performance optimization is of great importance for games as it constrains the possibilities of content or complexity of systems. Modern games support high resolution rendering but higher resolutions require more pixels to be computed and solutions are needed to reduce this workload. READ MORE

  5. 9. Quantifying the state of the coral reef ecosystem in relation to biophysical benthic and pelagic indicators and biological drivers of change in the Saba National Marine Park, Dutch Caribbean

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Wiebke Homes; [2021]
    Keywords : GCRMN; Reef Health Index; ; marine protected area; fish-benthos interaction; macroalgae; herbuvory; trophic cascade; fishing; coral disease; Caribbean;

    Abstract : Coral reefs are experiencing large scale degradation. Motivated by the need for regular data monitoring and for quantification of the state and change of benthic and pelagic organisms, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network protocol was executed on 18 dive sites in fished and unfished areas around the island of Saba in the Saba National Marine Park (SNMP) in the Dutch Caribbean from March to May 2019.

  6. 10. Relating land-use and plant biodiversity in Scanian semi-natural grazing lands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Timothy Micallef; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Land-use; Biodiversity; Grazing land; Remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. READ MORE
