  1. 1. Birds' Flight Range. : Sensitivity Analysis.

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Brian Masinde; [2020]
    Keywords : Flight; Sensitivity Analysis; Sobol indices; meta-modelling; quasi-Monte Carlo method;

    Abstract : ’Flight’ is a program that uses flight mechanics to estimate the flight range of birds. This program, used by ornithologists, is only available for Windows OS. It requires manual imputation of body measurements and constants (one observation at a time) and this is time-consuming. READ MORE

  3. 2. Binding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to organic soil horizons of peat and mor : effect of solution chemistry and soil organic matter composition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Jennifer Makselon; [2019]
    Keywords : sorption; electrostatic interactions; isotherms; partitioning coefficient; soil organic matter; cation; PFOS; PFOA; desorption;

    Abstract : The understanding of sorption processes of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soils is important for the determination of their fate and transport in the environment. The sorption behavior of PFASs of varying chain length and hydrophilic headgroup was studied in three organic soils, two peat soils and one mor layer, with differing chemical composition of the soil organic matter (SOM).
