1. 21. Evaluating structural landscape development in the municipality Upplands-Bro, using landscape metrics indices

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Marcus Eriksson; [2020]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; landscape development; land use; landscape indices; FRAGSTATS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to evaluate and describe the landscape development in an area located in the municipality of Upplands-Bro, Sweden. The main hypothesis was that the landscape patterns in the study area have changed, as I expected to discover that the landscape has undergone structural changes, in form of both changed land use and changed landscape patch composition.

3. 22. The Impact of Fracture Orientation on the Choice of Grout Fan Geometry - a Statistical Analysis

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Fredrik Osterman; [2019]
   Keywords : Rock Fissure Grouting; Grout Fan Geometry; Geology; Discrete Fracture Network; Sprickinjektering i berg; skärmgeometri; geologi; diskreta spricknätverk;

   Abstract : Water ingress into rock tunnels is a problematic phenomenon – especially in urban areas – as a lowered groundwater table may cause harmful settlements. Furthermore, too much ingress can be an incentive for the environmental court to halt the tunnel process, in order to protect the nature as part of a national interest. READ MORE

4. 23. GNSS Timing Receiver Performance in Urban Canyons

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

   Author : Xiangcheng Fu; [2019]
   Keywords : GNSS Timing Receiver; 1PPS; Synchronization; Urban Canyon;

   Abstract : Time synchronization is critical for the operation of radio base stations (RBS) in telecommunication companies. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is an existing technology to provide precise timing information to distributed RBSs. READ MORE

5. 24. Daylighting and sunlighting in street canyons. A quantitative research on the visual perception and in-situ daylight measurements of four urban canyons in Copenhagen.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Olesja Lami; [2019]
   Keywords : daylighting; sunlighting; urban canyon; visual perception; visual comfort; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : “Light creates ambience and the feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.” Le Corbusier With the current urban pressure and large waves of immigration, cities are facing an increase in population and therefore urban densification. This increase in building quantities affects daylight reaching the public space. READ MORE

6. 25. Sensitivity analysis of important parameters affecting daylight - Assessment of a typical cellular office in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Danai Vogiatzi; [2018]
   Keywords : daylight; office; dynamic metrics; static metrics; orientation; glazing transmittance; surface reflectance; window size; shape; position; number and niche; obstruction angle; sensitivity analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis was the impact evaluation of several parameters affecting daylight conditions in a typical cellular office in Lund, Sweden. The research approach that was followed consisted of three distinct steps; the literature review in order to specify the dependent and independent variables of the study, the simulation part to produce daylight performance data and the graphical analysis as interpretation of the data produced.
