6. Roughness lengths and roughness sublayer corrections in partly forested regions
Sammanfattning : Questions related to water resources management and climate change at regional to global scales have inspired research about processes governing exchange of water, heat and carbon between land and atmosphere. The concept of roughness length is fundamental in deduction of bulk transfer relations from the generally accepted Monin-Obukhov similarity theory for this exchange. LÄS MER
7. Geometry parameterisation and response surface-based shape optimisation of aero-engine compressors
Sammanfattning : The main goal in jet engine design is to achieve light, compact and highly efficient systems while reducing the cost and design times. Traditionally, the design has been based on trial-and-error procedures, which count on the skills and experience of the designer to suggest design improvements. LÄS MER
8. Submicrometre aerosol emissions from sea spray and road traffic
Sammanfattning : The uncertainty of the climate and health effects of aerosols is still large, one important reason being lack of knowledge of the primary emissions. This thesis combines laboratory and field experiments, and process modelling in an effort to better quantify the submicrometre aerosol emissions and to understand some of the processes in the atmosphere.

9. Automatic Shape Modelling with Applications in Medical Imaging
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to automatic shape analysis and the second part is devoted to decision support systems in medical imaging. Shape models are widely used in segmentation and shape analysis. The thesis begins with a review of deformable models and the preliminaries of shape modelling. LÄS MER
10. Experimental investigation of snow metamorphism at near-surface layers
Sammanfattning : Snow metamorphism is a direct objective in many snow research areas, and its charac-terisation is a major challenge in areas including winter road maintenance, detection of icing on wind turbine blades, and snow quality mapping for skiing. A common effect of snow metamorphism is compaction, which can be investigated from the associated vari-ations in physical properties of snow. LÄS MER
