  1. 16. Agroforestry i tempererat klimat : identifiering av kunskapsbehov och hypotesformulering för framtida forskning

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Tove Sundström; [2019]
    Keywords : SAFE; alléodling; kolinlagring; nutrient pump; safety net hypothesis; läckage; mikroklimat; biomassa; beskärning;

    Abstract : Jordbruket behöver göras mer motståndskraftigt under ett klimat som är föränderligt, och negativ miljöpåverkan orsakad av jordbruk, exempelvis näringsläckage, utsläpp av växthusgaser och markerosion, behöver samtidigt minskas. I detta arbete presenteras agroforestry (medvetet användande av träd- och buskar på betes- och jordbruksmark) i tempererat klimat som jordbruksstrategi för att möta dessa behov, med stöd i det långliggande fältexperimentet SITES Agroecological Field Experiment (SAFE).

  3. 17. Shadow effects in open cross-sections : An analysis of steel temperatures with COMSOL Multiphysics, TASEF and Eurocode

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Lucas Andersson; [2018]
    Keywords : Shadow effects; Construction; Fire; COMSOL; TASEF; EUROCODE; Steel; Thermal radiation; Separated boundary conditions;

    Abstract : Steel is a material commonly used in various constructions such as high-rise buildings, sport arenas, ships etc. Steel is a versatile building material due to its isotropic characteristics, e.g. both high tensile- and compressive strength. READ MORE

  4. 18. Climate in mind - climate-adapted neighborhood design : a case study from Nyhamnen in Malmö, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Anna-Lena Sauer; [2017]
    Keywords : Nyhamnen; Malmö; SymbioCity Approach; Sustainability Science; urban green spaces; multifunctional space; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Cities affected by the impacts of climate change have to find new ways to adapt to the variability in weather patterns, such as heavy rainfalls and storms. The coastal city Malmö, a former industrial city, aims to be carbon neutral by 2020 and provided by 100 percent renewable energies in 2030. READ MORE

  5. 19. Quantifying the Shadow Effect between Offshore Wind Farms with Idealized Mesoscale Models and Observed Wind Data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : David Werner; [2016]
    Keywords : Shadow effect; offshore wakes; atmospheric stability; analog ensemble; wake forecasting; idealized mesoscale modeling; Weather Research Forecast WRF model; downscaling; North Sea; Princes Amalia; Egmond aan Zee;

    Abstract : Two post processing methods for quantifying the shadow effect of the offshore wind farm Princes Amalia (PA) onto Egmond aan Zee (OWEZ) wind farm are analyzed and benchmarked. The first method is the author’s proposed shadow effect determination method (SEDM), which quantifies an offshore wind farm’s shadow effect based on mesoscale WRF (Weather Research Forecast) idealized modeling and the observed frequency of the analyzed site’s wind conditions.

  6. 20. High Quality Shadows for Real-time Surface Visualization

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Mikael Zachrisson; [2016]
    Keywords : graphics; visualization; shadows; real-time;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the implementation of a shadowing system able to produce hard shadows. Shadow mapping is the most common real-time shadowing algorithm but it suffers from severe aliasing artifacts and self-shadowing effects. READ MORE
