  1. 1. Timber pile-supported road embankment : Numerical and analytical analysis of field monitoring project E4 Råneå

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Kent Nystedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Geosynthetic reinforcement; Geosynthetic reinforced pile supported embankment; Pile distance; Embankment height; Finite element method; Pile efficacy;

    Abstract : The previous E4 Råneå road embankment was prone to flooding. Risk of flooding in combination with settlements of the road due to the weak underlying sulphide soil was problematic. The Swedish Transportation Administration improved the length section E4 Råneå by rebuilding the road using the method light embankment piling. READ MORE

  3. 2. Previously undiscovered neurons of the Bogong moth brain: 3D-reconstruction and registration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Olle Claesson; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The Australian Bogong moths are thought to have the ability to sense the earth’s magnetic field. This ability has to be reflected in the animal’s neural architecture. Hence reconstruction of three brain neurons was carried out, though these respond to visual stimulation instead of magnetic. READ MORE

  4. 3. Neural Mechanisms Underlying Self-Localization in Rodents

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Jenny Thelander; [2015]
    Keywords : place cells; head direction cells; grid cells; self-location; spatial processing;

    Abstract : The ability to self-localize and navigate in both stable and changing environments is crucial for the survival of many species. Research conducted on the non-human mammalian hippocampus and surrounding brain structures has uncovered several classes of spatial related cells. READ MORE

  5. 4. Coastal parallel sediment transport on the SE Australian inner shelf : a study of barrier morphodynamics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Håkan Arvidsson; [2002]
    Keywords : Geomorphology; Pedology; Cartography; Climatology; Naturgeografi; Geomorfologi; Marklära; Kartografi; Klimatologi; Physical geography; Deposition morphology; Geographic information systems; Coastal processes; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In SE Australia, sediments are moved northwards by longshore currents and deposited as barriers, dunes, and estuarine or inner shelf deposits. According to Roy & Thom (1981), the magnitude and complexity of the deposition morphology increase from south to north. READ MORE
