  1. 16. Spatial co-occurrence between wind power and boreal forestlands with lichen important for reindeer browsing : a landscape analysis

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

    Author : Erik Lundmark; [2022]
    Keywords : lichen; qGIS; reindeer; reindeer husbandry; spatial analysis; wind power;

    Abstract : To meet the increasing demand of renewable energy, Sweden aim to expand the onshore wind power production from 30 TWh today, to 80 TWh by 2040. Most wind power sites will be placed in Northern Sweden, which coincides with the reindeer husbandry area, where indigenous Sami have a legislated reindeer husbandry right. READ MORE

  3. 17. Walking into the Future : Exploring WiFi fingerprinting in pedestrian-oriented planning

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Carl Vilhelm Boström; [2022]
    Keywords : WiFi fingerprinting; WiFi positioning; pedestrian; planning; pedestrian flows; traffic safety; urban planning; traffic planning; micro simulation; interview; Delphi;

    Abstract : In order to investigate what place WiFi fingerprinting has in pedestrian-oriented planning, an interview study was carried out by conducting 12 semi-structured interviews with different actors working in pedestrian-related fields. The actors represent both the private and the public sector, and work in various geographical scales. READ MORE

  4. 18. Estimation of dissolved organic carbon from inland waters using remote sensing data and machine learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lasse Harkort; [2022]
    Keywords : dissolved organic carbon; machine learning; remote sensing; inland waters; water quality; open source data; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the first attempt to estimate Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in inland waters over a large-scale area using satellite data and machine learning (ML) methods. Four ML approaches, namely Random Forest Regression (RFR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and a Multilayer Backpropagation Neural Network (MBPNN) were tested to retrieve DOC using a filtered version of the recently published open source AquaSat dataset with more than 16 thousand samples across the continental US matched with satellite data from Landsat 5, 7 and 8 missions.

  5. 19. Interdisciplinary and interspatial discrepancies in urban planning : a multi-actor-multi-criteria analysis of the effects of densification on accessibility and sustainability

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jelmer van der Ham; [2022]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Urban Planning; Densification; Accessibility; Multi-Actor-Multi-Criteria Analysis; Interdisciplinarity;

    Abstract : Density has increasingly been used as a strategy by urban planners to increase accessibility and urban sustainability. Particularly, it has been opted as a tool to achieve sustainable development goal 11 ‘inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and human settlements’. READ MORE

  6. 20. Including Finite Larmor Radius Effects on RF Heating of Fusion Plasmas using Weak-Form Contributions in COMSOL

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

    Author : Jonas Christ; [2022]
    Keywords : plasma; fusion; RF; radio frequency; IBW; FW; ion Bernstein wave; fast wave; simulation; FEM; finite element method; Taylor; Taylor expansion; COMSOL; MATLAB; FLR; finite larmor radius; magnetized plasma; hot plasma; thermal plasma; plasma; fusion; radiofrekvens; simulation; FEM; finita elementmethod; Taylor; Taylorutveckling; COMSOL; MATLAB; FLR; ändliga Larmorradie-effekter;

    Abstract : In a fusion plasma, the ions have to be heated to reach fusion relevant temperatures. One possibility is to launch an electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency band into the plasma. This wave can resonate with the ions at their cyclotron frequency and hence, the method is called ion cyclotron resonance heating. READ MORE
