  1. 11. The Effects of Material Properties in Saw Chain Cutting Efficiency Tests : Investigating the repeatability of cutting efficiency tests

    University essay from

    Author : Petter Ödvall; Jakob Ivarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Alternative Material; Cutting Efficiency; Density; Hardness; Knots; Moisture Content; Pinus Sylvestris; Polyethylene; Regression Model; Saw Chain;

    Abstract : Manufacturers of saw chains continuously strive to increase the performance of their products by reducing cutting times and minimising the energy consumption required for cutting. However, the evaluation process through testing is problematic as several uncontrollable factors impact the results. READ MORE

  3. 12. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Inga Berglind Eggertsdóttir; Emelía Ósk Gunnarsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

  4. 13. Life cycle assessment of timber high-rise building structures : Case study of a project examined in the context of French environmental regulation (RE2020)

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Corentin Le Gall; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The damages that the building sector does to the environment can no longer be ignored and need to be approached with a life cycle assessment (LCA). Advantages to build in wood and to build dense cities lead to a potential “two birds in one stone” effect regarding high-rise massive timber construction. READ MORE

  5. 14. Fungal pigmentation responses to microclimatic variables in isolated forest patches in Northern Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Karl Soler Kinnerbäck; [2023]
    Keywords : fungal ecology; mycology; functional traits; communities; pigmentation; CIELAB; lightness; microclimate; polypores;

    Abstract : Investigating functional traits is an important tool for understanding fungal communities, yet ecological functions of fungal pigmentation remain poorly investigated. Recent studies support the thermal-melanism hypothesis for fungal color lightness in relation to macroclimate, but it remains unclear if microclimate also affects fungal pigmentation. READ MORE

  6. 15. Quantity and quality of oaks (Quercus) as suitable habitats for the longhorn beetle species Plagionotus detritus : An inventory study in Stockholm and Uppsala County, Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ida Widegren; [2023]
    Keywords : Plagionotus detritus; P. detritus; Cerambycidae; Cerambycinae; longhorn beetle; insects; habitat; oak; Quercus; conservation; ecology; endangered; threatened;

    Abstract : The longhorn beetle Plagionotus detritus is associated with newly dead oak wood and is declining throughout its distribution range. In Sweden, P.detritus has displayed one of the most dramatic reductions in distribution recorded for insect species and is near regional extinction. READ MORE
