  1. 16. Evaluation of Crop Water Use and Rice Yield Using Remote Sensing and AquaCrop Model for Three Irrigation Schemes in Sri Lanka

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Veronika Widengren; [2022]
    Keywords : WaPOR; remote sensing; evapotranspiration; crop water productivity; irrigation scheme; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; paddy rice; humid tropical climate; WaPOR; fjärranalys; evapotranspiration; vattenproduktivitet; bevattningssystem; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; ris; fuktigt tropiskt klimat;

    Abstract : With a changing climate and an increased competition over water resources for agricultural irrigation, the need to improve crop water productivity using time and cost-efficient methodologies have become critically important. The Malwathu Oya river basin in Sri Lanka is struggling with water scarcity, which threatens food security and the income of farmers. READ MORE

  3. 17. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexander Fors; [2022]
    Keywords : actual evapotranspiration; Malwathu Oya; remote sensing; Sri Lanka; SWAT modelling; SWAT calibration; WaPOR; water balance; faktisk evapotranspiration; fjärranalys; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; SWAT-modellering; SWAT-kalibrering; vattenbalans; WaPOR;

    Abstract : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. READ MORE

  4. 18. Exploring Experiential Qualities of Relaxation in ASMR through Soma Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Celine Mileikowsky; [2022]
    Keywords : somaesthetics; HCI; relaxation; soma design; tangibles; physical interactions; somaestetik; MDI; avslappning; soma design; tangible; fysisk interaktion;

    Abstract : Media designed to elicit Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) has been used for years for relaxation and improved sleep. Recent research has shown that experiencing ASMR lowers markers for stress, and can induce a relaxed mood. READ MORE

  5. 19. Automating the boiling of carbohydrate food through machine learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Mauricio Ramirez Zavala; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; embedded systems; convolutional neural network;

    Abstract : There are scenarios in the modern world of today when several things are being cooked at the same time on the stove in the kitchen. You typically have a saucepan that is boiling a carbohydrate. This requires attention and can result in elevated levels of mental exertion. READ MORE

  6. 20. A WORLD OF RICE AND GODS: WHERE WHITE GRAINS SYMBOLIZE WEALTH. A study of Japanese game localization and crosscultural translation

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för språk och litteraturer

    Author : Jamie Viklund; [2021-06-15]
    Keywords : japanska; Japanese; SIK; game localization; rice; culturally bound terms; translation; domestication; foreignization; Hasegawa; Venuti;

    Abstract : Studies of Japanese translation are a common topic, and with good reason. There is extensive material to work with, and the vast differences between Japanese and many other languages creates translation challenges of considerable complexity as such. READ MORE
