  1. 1. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

  3. 2. Implementing SAE Techniques to Predict Global Spectacles Needs

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Yuxue Zhang; [2023]
    Keywords : small area estimation; area-level model; empirical best linear unbiased prediction EBLUP ; generalized linear mixed models; Conditional Autoregressive; spatial correlation; spectacle needs; assistive products; auxiliary data; hglm; relative standard error; simulation;

    Abstract : This study delves into the application of Small Area Estimation (SAE) techniques to enhance the accuracy of predicting global needs for assistive spectacles. By leveraging the power of SAE, the research undertakes a comprehensive exploration, employing arange of predictive models including Linear Regression (LR), Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP), hglm (from R package) with Conditional Autoregressive (CAR), and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM).

  4. 3. Hur påverkar viltskador ett framtida granbestånd? : en studie av en försöksyta på Asa försökspark

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Daniel Ridderbjelke; Gustav Forslund; [2023]
    Keywords : viltbetning; gran; kvalitetsfel;

    Abstract : Ett omfattande problem i det svenska skogsbruket är de skador som klövviltet orsakar på ungskog. Den vanligaste uppfattningen i det svenska skogsbruket är att granen inte påverkas mycket av viltskador trots att den anses vara härdigare än exempelvis tall och vissa lövträd. READ MORE

  5. 4. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  6. 5. A field-based estimation of eagle predation and scavenging on reindeer calves : towards mitigating human-wildlife conflicts

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Aemilius Johannes Van Der Meiden; [2023]
    Keywords : aquila chrysaetos; haliaeetus albicilla; rangifer tarandus; predation; repelling; human-wildlife conflict;

    Abstract : Eagle predation on semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) calves, both golden (Aquila chrysaetos) and white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is a well-known issue in Sweden. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the balance between scavenging and hunting and the role that each of the eagle species has in this issue. READ MORE
