  3. 22. Impact of security context on mobile clinic activities : a GIS multi criteria evaluation based on an MSF humanitarian mission in Cameroon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Vincent Muller; [2016]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; GIS; AHP; MCDA; Humanitarian; Security; MSF; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Humanitarian crises require a quick and effective emergency response to answer the needs of vulnerable populations. Deploying mobile health clinics in the field is an example of an outreach activity that can be undertaken for this purpose. READ MORE

  4. 23. Using multi-criteria evaluation and GIS for chronic food and nutrition insecurity indicators analysis in Ethiopia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Mathewos Tamiru Amato; [2016]
    Keywords : multi-criteria evaluation; food and nutrition insecurity indicators; food security dimensions; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; GIS; districts; Ethiopia; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The actual concept of food security focuses on four food security dimensions: food availability, food access, food utilization and food stability of which eight indicators were identified for this study. The study aims to evaluate vulnerability to chronic food and nutrition insecurity, one of the food stability types, in Ethiopia; and examines the relationship between four food security dimensions and stunting of children under age five.

    Abstract : This thesis is examining the possibility of powering small wireless sensor nodes using induction and magnetic fields, generated by alternating current in conductors. As more devices becomes online, powering them all using batteries is not a good enough solution. READ MORE

  6. 25. Recovery of primal solutions from dual subgradient methods for mixed binary linear programming; a branch-and-bound approach

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

    Author : Pauline Aldenvik; Mirjam Schierscher; [2015-10-06]
    Keywords : Branch-and-bound method; subgradient method; Lagrangian dual; recovery of primal solutions; ergodic sequence; mixed binary linear programming; set covering; facility location;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis is to implement and evaluate a Lagrangian heuristic and a branch-and-bound algorithm for solving a class of mathematical optimization problems called mixed binary linear programs. The tests are performed on two different types of mixed binary linear programs: the set covering problem and the (uncapacitated as well as capacitated) facility location problem. READ MORE
