  1. 16. Testing migratory Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) in orientation experiments using an artificial representation of the Milky Way

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Författare :Julius Jansson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The Bogong Moth, Agrotis Infusa, is a migratory moth native to South-Eastern Australia. These nocturnal insects migrate over more than 1000 km from their breeding grounds to caves in the Australian alps. To find their way during this migration, individuals of the species use several compass cues, both magnetic and celestial. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Host Community Attitudes and Overtourism : The Case of the Puster Valley in South Tyrol, Italy

    Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Författare :Thomas Weiss; [2021]
    Nyckelord :tourism; overtourism; south tyrol; südtirol; italy; dolomites; resident attitudes; sustainability; sustainable tourism; carrying capacity; social exchange theory; alps; host communities;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates host community attitudes towards tourism in South Tyrol’s Puster Valley in Italy along with predispositions against the emerging phenomenon of overtourism and explores the factors influencing its formations, as similar research in the same European context with a more mature tourism industry is still underdeveloped. Applying quantitative methods, data was collected through an online survey between May and June 2021. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Implications of a rapidly thinning ice-margin for annual moraine formation at Gornergletscher, Switzerland

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Författare :Lukas Rettig; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Recessional moraines; Ice-marginal processes; Glacier retreat; Glacial geomorphology; Glacial sedimentology; Alpine glaciers; Swiss Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Simulation of road slope with brake applications on horizontal ground

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Författare :Ivar Rockström; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Brakes; Simulation; CAN-bus;

    Sammanfattning : During some operations the brake system on a truck is exposed to severe stress and hightemperatures. To ensure function and safety during these operations, Scania test thebrake system both test rigs and in actual trucks around the world. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Jip Jan van Zoonen; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Digital Elevation Model; DEM; Glaciology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces This study explores methods to quantify and evaluate error in digital elevation models (DEMs) built from remotely sensed elevation data of the Hintereisferner glacier. A special focus lies on glacier surfaces because glaciers are often inaccessible for field observations but at the same time prone to measurement errors. LÄS MER
