  1. 31. Ekonomiska och miljömässiga konsekvenser, möjligheter och förutsättningar vid virkestransport på vägar med bärighetsklass 4 jämfört med bärighetsklass 1

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Lisa Karlsson; Erik Lenz; [2023]
    Keywords : rundvirke; HTC; regeringsuppdrag;

    Abstract : För drygt 700 år sedan påbörjades arbetet med virkestransporter i Sverige, då för att försörja gruvor och stålindustrier. Sedan dess och förmodligen en lång tid framåt kommer virkestransporter att utgöra en vital del av samhällsstrukturen i Sverige. READ MORE

  3. 32. 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

  4. 33. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

  5. 34. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tómas Halldórsson Alexander; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Soil moisture; Downscaling; Vegetation index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.

  6. 35. The Development and Testing of Low-Cost Heat Transfer Enhancements for Solar Dryers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Hoda Mahmoodi; [2023]
    Keywords : Solar dryer; Bhutan; Drying rate; Solar absorber; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the mountainous regions of Bhutan and Nepal, post-harvest losses cause significant challenges for producers. Open air sun drying is usually used by farmers to preserve their produce. There are many disadvantages to this method. READ MORE
