    Sammanfattning : This study focusses on the urban infrastructure for water supply in Roman Pompeii. The water distribution network of lead pipes was constructed inside the city walls, at the time when the city was connected to an aqueduct. LÄS MER

  3. 2. POSITION MOORING OF WAVE ENERGY CONVERTERS - An engineering study into the mooring of structures in a highly exposed shallow ocean regime, within the context of the economics of renewable energy conversion

    Författare :John Fitzgerald; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; energy; catenary; articulated tower; ocean; Mooring; wave; anchor; energy;

    Sammanfattning : The principles of systems engineering are applied in order to establish the requirements formooring wave energy conversion devices. These requirements capture both the function ofmaintaining position in energetic wave climates as well as the need to enable an economiclifecycle for the development of a viable wave energy conversion industry.

  4. 3. Remote sensing phenology at European northern latitudes - From ground spectral towers to satellites

    Författare :Hongxiao Jin; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Remote sensing; climate sensitivity.; calibration; ground spectral tower; Plant phenology index PPI ; northern latitude;

    Sammanfattning : Plant phenology exerts major influences on carbon, water, and energy exchanges between atmosphere and ecosystems, provides feedbacks to climate, and affects ecosystem functioning and services. Great efforts have been spent in studying plant phenology over the past decades, but there are still large uncertainties and disputations in phenology estimation, trends, and its climate sensitivities.
