1. 16. Plant phenology and climate change : possible effect on the onset of various wild plant species first flowering day in the UK

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Nigel Fox; [2019]
   Keywords : geography; GIS; plants; phenology; climate change; global warming; FFD; IPCC; Bluebell; Garlic mustard; Coltsfoot; Cuckooflower; United Kingdom; Woodland Trust; UK; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The IPCC states that the planet is significantly warming due to effects of climate change. This warming effect has consequences for phenological events. Many species cannot track rapid climate change, resulting in phenological mismatches. This study looks at an extreme weather event and the longer-term effects of climate change. READ MORE

3. 17. The experience of a heat wave and preparations for a hot future - A case study of climate change adaptation and health risks faced by the elderly population of Trelleborg

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

   Author : Love Frykman; [2019]
   Keywords : heat wave; climate change; climate change adaptation; elderly population; citizen participation; coping strategies; adaptation interaction; resilience; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : As global temperatures rise, adverse health effects due to heat exposure are an increasingly pressing issue, particularly threatening to the health of elderly people. Mitigating these threats requires a dynamic climate adaptation system embedding a variety of measures. READ MORE

4. 18. Circular Economy in Plastic Production : The recycling challenges and solutions in plastic production

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

   Author : Victor Wadstein; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The consequences of the linear economy of plastic production has started to show. Media reports of "plastic seas," beaches full of waste, and habitats and environments destroyed.

Objects studied are residential multi-storey buildings, originally built before 1970 and retrofitted during the last decade. READ MORE

6. 20. Engine and Gearbox Thermal Management Modeling

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Author : Amaury Arlotto; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In order to improve the global efficiency of an engine within the French company Groupe PSA, a research axis focuses on gearbox thermalmanagement for a quicker reduction of its own friction losse after a cold start. The principle remains in deriving a little part of the coolant energy towards the gearbox – until now heated by its own internal frictions – as long as the impact on the engine warm-up is low enough for a global final gain.
