  1. 16. Assessing annual forest phenology: a comparison of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and phenocamera datasets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shangharsha Thapa; [2020]
    Keywords : Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Near-surface Remote Sensing; UAV; Phenocamera; Forest Phenology; Phenophase; Seasonality; NDVI; GCC; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Near-surface remote sensing platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and phenocameras appear to be potential platforms for keeping track of seasonal dynamics at a local scale. This research focusses on extracting time series of different vegetation indices (VIs) from both platforms, computing seasonality events from them and comparing the results against spectral sensor data.

  2. 17. Identifying the role of remote display Protocol in behavioral biometric systems based on free-text keystroke dynamics, an experiment

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Alexandr Silonosov; [2020]
    Keywords : Behavioral biometric systems; free-text keystroke dynamics; virtual desktop infrastructure; remote display protocol; network latency;

    Abstract : The ubiquity and speed of Internet access led over the past decade to an exponential increase in the use of thin clients and cloud computing, both taking advantage of the ability to remotely provide computing resources. The work investigates the role of remote display Protocol in behavioral biometric systems based on free-text keystroke dynamics. READ MORE

  3. 18. A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Julika Wolf; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; drought impacts; old-growth forests; forest management; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. READ MORE

  4. 19. Impact of Carbon Sinks on Urban Heat Island Effects : Assessment Using Satellite Data in Water Scarce Region of the Thesis

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Nadine Macauley; [2020]
    Keywords : Urban Heat Island; Carbon Sinks; Qatar; Satellite Remote Sensing; Al Bayt Stadium; Energy Systems; Energy Use; Sustainability; LST; Hot Arid Climate;

    Abstract : Urbanization modifies the thermal characteristics of the land and makes way for a succession of transformations in the urban environmental system. This phenomenon, known as Urban Heat Island (UHI), is characterized by elevated temperatures in urban areas that negatively impact on the quality of life and environment in urban areas including, increased emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) and rising energy consumption.

  5. 20. Perceived impacts of Cloud Computing adoption on the role of an IT department of a higher institution in a developing country.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för informatik (IK)

    Author : Stephen Adebayo; [2019]
    Keywords : Cloud Computing; Adoption; Impacts; ICT department; Tertiary Education Institution; Qualitative Research; Semi-structured interviews.;

    Abstract : Cloud computing popularity has continued to be on the increase side, and it has been significant contributory factor to the of 24/7 365 days business culture of the digital 21st century where data and data centers are accessed via the internet through any connected device, anytime and from anywhere. Higher Education Institutions (HEI) or Tertiary Education Institution (TEI) are also among organisations, medium and large, that are tapping into this trend by gradually adopting this technology to reduce their high budgets in the prevailing face of financial shortage.
