  1. 21. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

  3. 22. Raw Material Management Strategies for Waste Reduction : A case study at a Swedish manufacturing SME

    University essay from Jönköping University/Tekniska Högskolan

    Author : Emil Ingelsten; Erik Johnsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular economy; Waste reduction strategies; Supply chain management; Raw material management; Sustainability; Butterfly diagram; Sustainable supply chain management.;

    Abstract : Manufacturing companies have a tremendous environmental impact in terms of the way they manage raw materials. In addition, the amount of waste produced by industries continues to increase, which puts even more significant pressure on the environment. READ MORE

  4. 23. Influence of structural complexity of the Rumperöd forest on evapotranspiration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Madeleine Durdek; [2023]
    Keywords : Forest structural complexity; evapotranspiration; vapour pressure deficit; eddy covariance; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The influence of Forest Structural Complexity (FSC) on evapotranspiration (ET) was investigated in a mixed forest of Southern Sweden where micrometeorological Eddy Covariance (EC) measurements were conducted for the years 2015 to 2022. For each year, the top 25% of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) were selected to emphasize the response of ET to the driest atmospheric conditions. READ MORE

  5. 24. The carbon footprint of rye bread production in Sweden : a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Fazer product Rågkusar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Stella Hildersten; [2023]
    Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; bread; rye bread; bread production; sustainable development; carbon footprint; global warming potential;

    Abstract : The future will require sustainable food systems; systems that meets the present and the future with consideration of economic and social development, as well as environmental protection. In the current food system, two key drivers towards environmental pressure are agriculture and food consumption. READ MORE

  6. 25. Mathematical Modeling and Simulation of Cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen Storage

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Gusten Zandler Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Modeling; Simulation; Liquid Hydrogen; Storage tank; Modelica; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Liquid hydrogen is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels in the aviation industry, but storing it both before and during flights introduces many challenges pertaining to the cryogenic liquid conditions required. Having reliable models to predict the dynamical behavior inside the storage tank is therefore of great interest. READ MORE
