This research was conducted to determine which areas in the Robat Turk watershed in Iran are sensitive to gully erosion, and to define the relationship between gully erosion and geo-environmental factors by two data mining techniques, namely, Random Forest (RF) and k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). First, 242 gully locations we determined in field surveys and mapped in ArcGIS software. Then, twelve gully

Light extinction is widely used to study particles in sprays, soot-forming combustion, and multiphase reactive flows. However, quantitative interpretation of extinction signals remains challenging when particles have a sufficiently large scattering albedo, meaning that incident photons are scattered much more than they are absorbed. This is especially true when experiments involve large apertures

This paper studies and analyses the IIT in motor cars between Eastern and Western Europe. The driving forces and the determinants of IIT are manifold. In this paper the focus lies on the country level determinants and especially the relationship between economic integration, geographical proximity and economic size as determinants of IIT and the per capita GDP as a determinant of the nature of IIT

Purpose: The purpose of our thesis is to analyze the application of models from product branding on job-seeking business students as a way to establish a personal brand. Conclude: We found that the principles of product branding closely resembles those of personal branding and are therefore applicable. The models that build a products brand can do the same for a business student. Thereby we can co

The Internet is a unique medium never before seen and its introduction is probably only rivalled by that of television. It is unique in the sense that every person connected to the Internet has the possibility of interacting with other people across the globe simultaneously. The tools introduced to facilitate this interaction are IP-addresses and domain names. Domain names are connected to the IP-

This essay presents the reader with an insight to how Sweden, the UK and the US deal with matters concerning inventions created by employees. It provides information on how employee inventions are categorized, which type of employee inventions belong to the employer, what right the employer has in these types of inventions, what or if he is obliged to compensate the employee and how contracts betw

Non-harmonized direct taxes fall within the Member States' competence. This means that the Member States are free to develop their own tax systems, as long as there is no Community harmonisation. But since the freedom of establishment (and other rights under the EC Treaty) could be disturbed by national tax law, this competence must be exercised in consistency with Community law to avoid any d

Among adult brain cancers, glioblastoma (GBM) stands out for its frequency and severity, characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. Gabapentin, a gabapentinoid widely prescribed for managing neurological conditions such as neuropathic pain and seizures, has been proposed to influence tumor-neural interactions and modulates glioblastoma outcomes. This study used real-world clinical data

Buildings are responsible for approximately 30% of global energy use, with HVAC systems accounting for 40% of that demand. Among these, data centers have become significant energy consumers, requiring highly efficient and stable cooling solutions. This project aims to explore data-driven control methods to improve the energy efficiency of data center cooling systems as well as reduce the effort an

This study presents a custom surface electromyography (sEMG) data acquisition system combining the TI ADS1299 analog-to-digital converter, Teensy MicroMod micro-controller, and a Python-based graphical user interface for real-time signal monitoring and guided data collection. The system outperformed the widely used Ninapro dataset across all major classification metrics, demonstrating improved cla

This thesis investigates how Italy’s Piantedosi Decree and Distant Ports practice have reshaped the operations of Search and Rescue (SAR) NGOs in the Central Mediterranean. While existing literature discusses the securitization of migration and criminalization of humanitarian actors,less attention has been paid to the concrete impacts of recent legal and administrative measures on SAR operational

This thesis investigates the existence of a green bond premium, or greenium, in the European corporate bond market. It examines how ESG disagreements affect this premium. By utilising secondary market data for 515 green bonds and 2.325 conventional bonds issued between 2018 and 2025, a matching methodology based on Zerbib (2019) is employed to isolate the yield differential attributed to the green

Steam and water chemistry is fundamental for most power generation on indus trial scale. This includes the dosing of chemicals, the monitoring of both water and steam, as well as understanding the underlying causes to diagnose eventual problems. Öresundsverket, which was designed for seasonal operation, now has to perform multiple starts per year and in meeting these demands there is a possi bilit

This thesis examines how autonomous buses are interpreted and evaluated as a potential mobility solution within a multi-level planning context involving both municipal and regional perspectives. While autonomous vehicles are often framed as a key component of future sustainable transport systems, their implementation depends not only on technological development but also on social acceptance, inst

This thesis aims to address a dual crisis. Globally, the construction industry relies on a linear “take-make-dispose” approach and a “tabula rasa” tactic in each novel project, draining the Earth’s resources. Locally, around a half of residential buildings in Riga, Latvia, are of Soviet mass housing typology. These structures are on the verge of structural expiration, at risk of progressive collap

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an expanding role in infectious disease surveillance and intervention planning by enabling analysis of large-scale health data. One of the key challenges in this area is to characterize transmission within households and to identify factors that influence both infectivity and susceptibility. The present study focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic, which not only
