1. 21. An Individual-based Simulation Approach for Generating a Synthetic Stroke Population

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DVMT)

   Author : Abdulrahman Alassadi; [2021]
   Keywords : Agent-based simulation; microsimulation; modeling; synthetic population; Design Science; Repast Simphony; stroke.;

   Abstract : The time to treatment plays a major factor in recovery for stroke patients, and simulation techniques can be valuable tools for testing healthcare policies and improving the situation for stroke patients. However, simulation requires individual-level data about stroke patients which cannot be acquired due to patient’s privacy rules. READ MORE

3. 22. Separation of microfibers from laundry waste water by hydrocyclone : In cooperation with Electrolux Professional

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Anna Cecilia Carolina Lorentzon; [2021]
   Keywords : microfiber separation; microfibre separation; hydrocyclone; hydrocyclonic separation; microfibers; microfibres; laundry effluent; laundry waste water; laundry wastewater;

   Abstract : Microfibers, textile fibres shorter than 5 mm, and are shed from fabrics during wear and released into the laundry effluent during washing. When passed through the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), they adsorb toxins, heavy metals and pathogens before being released into the environment. READ MORE

6. 25. Exploring Spatiotemporal Relationships between InSAR-derived Land Subsidence and Satellite-based Hydrological Variables

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Yixin Zhang; [2021]
   Keywords : InSAR; Shabestar; subsidence; groundwater; hydrological variables; LSTM; Sentinel-1A; Geomatics; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Shabestar basin in the East Azerbaijan province, Northwest Iran, where irrigation is the main groundwater consumer, has experienced large-scale subsidence and groundwater deletion, which poses a threat to the local agricultural activities, economic development, and food security. With the emergency of mitigating the risk, satisfying future demand for groundwater, and improving resilience considering climate change, this study proposes a satellite-based approach to explore the spatio-temporal relationships between measured subsidence and hydrological variables in the basin to assist groundwater management strategy.
