  1. 1. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Duncan Jones; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

  3. 2. Status and Risk Assessment as Decision Support for Energy Efficiency Measures in Historical Buildings; Testing and Development of the ‘3B’ Method

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård

    Author : Klara Sundlöf; [2022-07-05]
    Keywords : historic buildings; energy efficiency; decision support; status; risk;

    Abstract : Within the Swedish research and development programme on energy efficiency in historic buildings, one project is developing a transdisciplinary method for assessing building status and intervention risks as a means of providing decision support for the selection of measures. The method, here tentatively referred to as the ‘3B’ method, fuses the disciplines of Building conservation, Building physics and Building biology into a holistic approach. READ MORE

  4. 3. Pre-renovation considerations for a Swedish single-family house : Analysis of energy saving potential

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Meghdeepa Choudhury; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : According to United Nations 7th sustainable development goal, increased use of fossil fuels in energy accounts for around 60 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions and in order to debacle this crisis of global warming, the European Union aimed to reduce energy use by 32.5 % within 2030 by improving energy efficiency.

  5. 4. Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in Poland : a study of the forest carbon farms project’s (Leśne Gospodarstwa Węglowe) implications for biodiversity

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Antoni Lozinski; [2020]
    Keywords : climate change adaptation and mitigation; biological conservation; Pinus sylvestris; sustainable forest management; forest carbon farms; Leśne Gospodarstwa Węglowe;

    Abstract : Climate change is affecting forests in Europe. In response, Polish State Forests developed the Forest Carbon Farms project (FCF) which involves a range of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies (CCAMS) for adoption. Those strategies are meant to change the current forest management in Poland. READ MORE

  6. 5. Suturing in Surgical Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

    Author : Kiran Beersing-Vasquez; [2019]
    Keywords : Surgical suturing; spline model; Lagrange constraints; multibody dynamics; differential algebraic equations; Kirurgisk suturering; spline-modell; Lagrange-begränsningar; multikroppsdynamik; differentiella algebraiska ekvationer;

    Abstract : The goal of this project is to develop virtual surgical simulation software in order to simulate the suturing and knot tying processes associated with surgical thread. State equations are formulated using Lagrangian mechanics, which is useful for the conservation of energy. READ MORE
