  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Keywords : crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Abstract : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. READ MORE

  3. 2. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dynamic Analysis of Portal Frame Bridges for High-Speed Trains : A Parametric Study

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Antonio Dib; Ramayana Salgado; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A high-speed railway network is important for Sweden’s development. However, anincreasing train speed brings new challenges in bridge design due to higher bridgeaccelerations. READ MORE

  5. 4. The influence of soil modeling on the prediction of vehicle dynamics and mobility – A comparison between the Finite Element Method and a Semi[1]Empirical Model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Jimmy Kjellqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the influence of soil modeling on vehicle dynamics and mobility predictions with a focus on two different soil models implemented in Project Chrono: the Bekker-Wong model, and a Finite Element (FE) model. The primary objective is to provide insights for decision-making regarding the most suitable soil model under specific circumstances. READ MORE

  6. 5. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE
