  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. A techno-economical analysis of a solar PV system and a feasibility study for biogas production for cooking – A case study of the Tumaini Open School in Tanzania

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Martina Prpic Vucenov; Lovisa Magnusson Ericsson; [2023]
    Keywords : electricity demand; electricity services; electricity consumption; electricity load profile; micro off-grid standalone solar system; solar energy; solar optimisation; solar optimization; PV optimisation; battery optimisation; biogas; biogas plants in developing countries; clean cooking; Tabora; Tanzania; school; MFS; Minor Field Study; biofertiliser; biofertilizer; EWB-SWE; Engineers Without Boarders; SDG 3; SDG 7; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Detta examensarbete är en fallstudie av Tumaini Open School för gravida studenter och studerande mödrar i Tabora, Tanzania. Genom den ideella organisationen Ingenjörer utan gränser Sverige genomförde författarna en Minor Field Study i Tanzania för att fastställa efterfrågade eltjänster, det resulterande elbehovet och den maximala dagliga effektkurvan för skolan vid fullskalig verksamhet.

  4. 3. Soil Improvement method by Mass Stabilization : Settlement analysis in stabilized sulfide soil

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Albin Åkerlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Mass stabilization; Sulfide soil; settlement.;

    Abstract : Mass stabilization is not a common soil improvement method in Sweden, and even less so in sulfide soils. Previous research indicates that a linear elastic material model is suitable for settlements in stabilized sulfide soil. A construction project in the northern part of Sweden applied mass stabilization in sulfide soil. READ MORE

  5. 4. CFD study of the different inlet configurations and airflows in a room with IJV

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Christos Stiapis; [2022]
    Keywords : Ventilation; CFD; Impinging Jet Ventilation;

    Abstract : A method of providing ventilation using impinging jets (IJV) utilizes stratification while delivering air at a high velocity. As a result of this attribute and the simplicity of its terminal construction, IJV offers an advantage over the well-known Displacement Ventilation (DV) system. READ MORE

  6. 5. Long-term Effect of Metallic Iron Sorbents on Arsenic Mobility in an Anoxic Aquifer : An assessment based on long-term column experiments

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Stéphanie Nyström; [2022]
    Keywords : Zero valent iron; ZVI; Remediation; Anoxic; Column tests; ICP-MS;

    Abstract : Zero valent iron (ZVI) sorbents have successfully remediated soils burdened with different groups of contaminants. When working to alleviate arsenic (As) contamination, the location-specific subsurface chemistry greatly affects the efficiency of the sorbents as it controls the speciation of As and the transformation of the ZVI, as well as the interaction between these (remediating mechanisms).
