The aim of this study is to systematically compare parametric and non-parametric techniques for analyzing trends in annual NDVI derived from NOAA AVHRR sensor in order to examine how trend type and departure from normality assumptions affect the accuracy of detecting long-term change. To generate annual data, the mean NDVI of a four-month long ‘green’ season was computed for fifteen sites (located

The increase in population and urbanization has led to widespread concern about the resulting volume of consumption. This is especially problematic in the housing market, where home size continues to grow. In the United States the average size of a single-family home has doubled since 1950, leading to a profound environmental impact. This paper will seek to address the problem of overconsumption b

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Supramolekylär kemi är en relativt ny gren av kemin som involverar stora kemiska strukturer/enheter. Ett exempel på en ”supramolekyl” man dagligdags träffar på är klorofyll. Klorofyll (Figur 1 till vänster) består av en metall (magnesium) och en större kolvätestruktur som kallas porfyrin. Porfyriner finns i många olika varianter och används ofta i olika biologiskDuring the time range of this project, various compounds were synthesized. All of them will be used to synthesize the final compounds 2 and 3. Consequently, the compounds will build up a supramolecular cavity, which will be used to study a catalytic epoxidation of olefins. The aim of the project was furthermore to gain experience in laboratory work.

This report is the result of a Master Thesis project in Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Design at the Faculty of Engineering LTH at Lund University. The project was conducted in collaboration with ArjoHuntleigh AB, a company based in Malmö, Sweden. ArjoHuntleigh develops integrated healthcare solutions for people with low mobility and thereto related problems. The report describes the deve

Metallic hip prosthesis is an implant that gets more common and comes with problems like metallosis (inflammation due to metallic debris). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is a superior method when imaging soft tissue (compared to other medical imaging techniques) is affected by metal implants and will result in a distorted image.

Vulvar pain has been known of for thousands of years but the general knowledge of vulvar pain is limited and the condition receives less medical attention than other disorders. Previous research focus on physical and/or psychological causes, treatment strategies and problematizing female sexuality due to women’s inability to engage in sexual intercourse. This master thesis attempt to understand v
