  1. 16. Reinforcement Learning for the Optimization of Explicit Runge-Kutta Method Parameters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH; Lunds universitet/Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten); Lunds universitet/Matematikcentrum

    Author : Mélanie Fournier; [2023]
    Keywords : reinforcement learning; numerical analysis; Runge-Kutta; policy gradient; REINFORCE; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Reinforcement learning is one of the three main paradigms in machine learning, which is increasingly used as a method to approach scientific problems. In this thesis, we introduce and use reinforcement learning to find the optimal parameters of a numerical solver. READ MORE

  3. 17. Clearcut tourism : a framework for a forest regeneration initiative based on sustainable forestry and public participation involvement

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Keywords : sustainable forestry; landscape architecture; clearcutting; sustainable tourism; ecosystem-based forestry; single-tree selection; clearcut-tourism; sustainable business model; environmental psychology; environmental education; ecosystem services; detached tourism;

    Abstract : Swedish forestry (and forestry in general) is a long-term investment that should last through generations. Some generations are only putting in the money to take care of it and not seeing much profit. Sometimes there is a point, where an individual landowner decides, it is time to get at least some income by clearcutting the forest. READ MORE

  5. 19. Of Chaos And Clockworks : A Formal Criticism Of The Modern Sustainability Paradigm

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Sebastian Arnström; [2023]
    Keywords : sustainability; sustainability science; complexity; complex adaptive systems; Earth system; Earth system science; resilience theory; the adaptive cycle; chaos theory; eco-theology;

    Abstract : This thesis is a critical review of two central theories in the modern sustainability paradigm – namely… (1) the theory that the Earth’s geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere form a complex adaptive system – the Earth system, and (2) the theory that all human activities are intrinsically dependent on, and constrained by, non-anthropogenic states and processes in the Earth system. The thesis explains the origins and the logic of these theories, and subjects them to formal, semi-formal and comparative criticism. READ MORE
