  1. 1. Constructing a civilized wilderness. An intersectional discourse analysis of the Sierra Club 1893-1910

    Kandidat-uppsats,

    Författare :Eleonor Ivdal; [2023-10-05]
    Nyckelord :the Sierra Club; intersectional theory; discourse analysis; civilization; American wilderness; national park movement; gender; class; race; ethnicity;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates if and how the Sierra Club adapted complex and contradictory rationalizations to legitimize their authority in wilderness and civilization. The study aims thereby to enhance our understanding of the origin narrative of the American preservation and conservation movement at the turn of the twentieth century which depicted white male heroes as discoverers and protectors of a pristine wilderness.

  3. 2. Optimization of loads and power production for wind turbines in Swedish conditions

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Manikanta Viswanadha Prabhu Kankatala; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The project aims at quantifying differences in power production and fatigue loads for wind turbines placed in the Baltic sea and in forested, topographically-complex areas compared to turbines placed offshore and in flat terrain. Based on these results, suggestions will be provided on how to optimally site and operate turbines in these conditions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data

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

    Författare :Henrik Hagelin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Physical geography; Prometheus; WiSE-FASS; The 2014 Västmanland wildfire; Wildfire growth modelling; Wildfire suppression support; Wildfire behaviour; MESAN; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Betesmönster hos älg (Alces alces) vintertid i fjällnära skog : En studie av födoval i relation till trädslagssammansättning och habitat

    Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Författare :Ella Hambeson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Food choice; Alces alces; forested mountainous terrain; winter diet; selection; Betesval; Alces alces; fjällnära skog; vinterföda; selektion;

    Sammanfattning : Browsing patterns in large herbivorous mammals are complex and decisions regarding food items occur at different levels depending on internal or external factors such as energy requirements and available food sources. A broader understanding of the behavior of animals living in habitats of economic interests for humans enables human exploitation with as little impact as possible on the animals' habitats. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Signed Distance Field For Deformable Terrain Shovel Collision Detection

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Författare :Johannes Strid; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Signed Distance Fields; Collision Detection; Deformable Terrain;

    Sammanfattning : One commonly used representation of complex objects in physics-based simulations are triangle meshes. This representation utilizes a collection of triangles to approximate an object. An alternative representation is a Signed Distance Field (SDF). LÄS MER
