1. 1. If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Jonatan Uusitalo; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique to reconstruct the contamination history of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, with a focus on Cu.

3. 2. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Amanda Hansson; [2023-08-07]
   Keywords : computational model; population dynamics; metapopulation dynamics; nutrient flow; simulation; spatially explicit; individual-based;

   Abstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.

   Abstract : The historic urban area of Lisbon emerged during the Middle Ages and was the origin of the development of a rather small neighbourhood, Mouraria. Not only did it count as the centre of the capital, but because of Lisbon being the metropolis of the Portuguese empire, Mouraria is now home to a diverse group of people, whose culture influences its special characteristics to this day.

5. 4. Assessing Electricity Prices and Their Driving Mechanisms in Brazil with Neural Networks

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

   Author : Henrique Costabile; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In general, electricity prices are very volatile and derive from many external variables. In Brazil, this price is determined by computer models developed and operated by government organizations. The supply and demand relationships are not enough to determine prices in Brazilian submarkets. READ MORE

6. 5. Decentralizing electricity generation in Cuba : Implementation of a microgrid in the sugar mil lCarlos Baliño

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

   Author : Aylin Berber; Cornelia Eriksson; [2023]
   Keywords : Microgrid; renewable energy; bagasse; self-sufficiency; Microgrid; förnybar energi; bagass; självförsörjande;

   Abstract : Cuba has a long history of different dependencies and is a country facing many energy challenges, and therefore seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The purpose of this degree project is therefore to conceptualize a microgrid based on renewable energy sources for local energy sustainability at the lowest cost possible. READ MORE
