1. 21. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

3. 22. Biomassatillväxt och koldioxidinlagring med mineralnäring och bionäring i norra Sverige

   University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

   Author : David Berglund; [2023]
   Keywords : organiskt gödsel; kolbildning; norrbotten;

   Abstract : Denna studie är en uppföljning på ett mastersarbete som är del av ett större projekt som heter ”Kolsänkor Norrbotten”. Projektet handlar om att jämföra bionäring (avloppsslam) och mineralnäring på 22 skogsbestånd utspridda i Norrbotten. Dessa bestånd gödslades mellan 2006 och 2008. READ MORE

4. 23. Demographic equilibrium modelling of single tree selection stands in Siljansfors : judging the sustainability of single tree selection systems in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Ludwig Olofsson; [2023]
   Keywords : CCF; continuous cover forestry; single tree selection; equilibrium models; forestry;

   Abstract : Lately debates have occurred questioning the rotation system, which is the most used silvicultural system in Sweden. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has therefore been suggested as an alternative management method, due to its environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and higher resilience against extreme weather which is important with the current climate change.

6. 25. Complexity Analysis and Structural Optimization for Architecture Models of Mechatronic Systems

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Yuanyang Zhang; [2023]
   Keywords : Mechatronic System Design; Architecture Model; DSM; Structural Complexity; Partitioning Optimization Design; Mekatronisk Systemdesign; Arkitektur Modell; DSM; Strukturell Komplexitet; Partitionering Optimering Design;

   Abstract : The design and development of mechatronic system are becoming an increasingly complex task due to the numerous disciplines involved, rapidly increasing scales, and the integration issues of different domains and technologies. The structural complexity of the architecture model design decides the quality of system design in many aspects: the scalability of the system design; usage of allocated resources which influences the computational overhead, etc. READ MORE
