Constructing dam is a possible solution for remitting the scarcity of irrigation water resource in Bortala, Northwest China. Considering the complexity of dam site selection, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was chosen in combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) as the method of Multi-Criteria Decision Making on selecting dam site. Precipitation, slope, geological layer, soil type, land
The app-industry today is ruled by two giants, namely Android and iOS. For companies and developers, it is essential to deliver their product to the majority of users, thus adapting to both platforms. The platforms involve their own way of developing applications and only barely resembles each other. A problem that the industry faces resides here, having to hire staff with knowledge in either Andr
Existing literature on investor motivations when financing social ventures is limited, despite a growing rise in the establishment of social enterprises and a growing interest in social entrepreneurship in Europe. The research presented in this paper, alongside the analysis that complements it, aim to provide new insights into the field of social venture financing, or what many business angels now

An increase in demand for fresh vegetables resulted in an increased production of minimally processed, ready-to-eat salad in Sweden. That also brought new food safety challenges that are yet to be addressed. To assess whether ready-to-eat leafy green vegetables present a threat in terms food borne outbreaks, aerobic bacteria, as well as bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family were rec
The right to life includes a right to live in dignity, a right to a dignified existence under the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, that requires the realisation of certain socio-economic and cultural rights. The European Court of Human Rights however, does not employ the same approach. Even though it does accept the interpretation of socio-economic rights in the context of the rights protecte
UBER är ett globalt företag som växer snabbt. UBER har skapat en applikation som gör det möjligt att, via applikationen, beställa en taxiresa från en person som kör sin egen bil.

Quantum many-body systems can be studied theoretically from first principles using microscopic models, but the computational cost of numerically exact calculations increases exponentially with the number of particles and the complexity of the interaction, limiting the systems that can be analysed. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) methods, heavil

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka potentialen hos geografisk objektbaserad bildanalys (GEOBIA) för att identifiera och övervaka alléer med hjälp av fjärranalysbilder och lidardata. För detta genomfördes en trefaldig litteraturstudie: först användes artiklar, böcker och rapporter för att skapa en bild av de viktigaste funktionerna inom GEOBIA. Sedan introducerades eCognition, ett välkäntThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential of geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) for the identification and monitoring of tree avenues with the help of aerial imagery and lidar data. For this, a literature review into three topics was conducted: First, scientific literature in form of journal articles, text books, and reports were used to highlight key features of GEOBIA.
Stroke affects a vast amount of people every year. As a result, many survivors have at least partially lost some of their abilities which are necessary to complete everyday activities. Although rehabilitation can be used to improve those abilities, many survivors claim that conventional methods are demotivating and discouraging. The aim of this project is to develop and test interactive objects, w
Over the past decade, flooding has been a great issue for several countries in Europe. With the movement of people and assets to flood prone areas, consequences due to flooding are increasing. Coping with this problem requires an effective response to flood risks. Therefore, this work has aimed to describe the emergency response to the 2013 flood incident in Suffolk, UK. This, in order to provide
