  1. 1. Non-Destructive Biomass and Relative Growth Rate Estimation in Aeroponic Agriculture using Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Oskar Åström; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Image Analysis; Aeroponics; Hydroculture; Relative Growth Rate; Multi-variate Regression; Neural Network; ResNet; Plant Growth; Plant Physiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Optimising plant growth in a controlled climate requires good measurements of both biomass (measured in grams) and relative growth rate (measured in grams of growth per day and gram of plant). In order to do this efficiently and continuously on an individual level during plant development, this has to be done non-destructively and without frequent and labor intensive weighing of plant biomass.

  3. 2. A Laboratory-Scale Examination to Find an Optimal Application for a Groundwater Barrier Well

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Tatsuya Nagino; [2021]
    Keywords : Groundwater; Seawater intrusion; Countermeasure; Negative hydraulic barrier; Sea level rise; Coastal aquifer; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Seawater intrusion has been aggravated due to anthropogenic reasons, such as sea level rise and over abstraction of groundwater, which is spoiling the groundwater sustainability. This study focused on a negative hydraulic barrier using a barrier well as a countermeasure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Calibration of Breast Cancer Natural History Models Using Approximate Bayesian Computation

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Oscar Bergqvist; [2020]
    Keywords : Approximate Bayesian Computation; ABC; breast cancer natural history models; random effects; Bayesian statistics; likelihood-free inference; Approximate Bayesian computation; ABC; natural history models för bröstcancer; random effects; bayesiansk statistik; likelihood-fri inferens;

    Abstract : Natural history models for breast cancer describe the unobservable disease progression. These models can either be fitted using likelihood-based estimation to data on individual tumour characteristics, or calibrated to fit statistics at a population level. READ MORE

  5. 4. Does stakeholder pressure have an effect on the quality of the sustainability report?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

    Author : Eric Westergren; Linn Hasselgren; [2020]
    Keywords : GRI; sustainability reports; quality; stakeholder pressure; Sweden; Agency Theory; Legitimacy Theory; Stewardship Theory; Stakeholder Theory;

    Abstract : Our planet suffers from severe climate change and environmental issues has never been as important as it is now. Countries and communities come together to get involved in environmental questions and to work against a sustainable future. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a GIS model for water accounting in Jordan: focus on irrigation and energy usage in the water sector

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

    Author : Daniel Pastor Pascual; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With a water availability of less than 100 m3 per capita and year, Jordan is suffering extreme water-scarcity. To its intrinsic limited water resources more pressure is being added every year as a result of socioeconomic factors, such as the accelerated population growth, and a reduction of rainfalls and increase of evaporation as consequence of climate change.
