Dominica, the hurricane-prone island nation, experienced severe destruction in September 2017 from a category 5 hurricane named Maria. Based on research and a minor field study to the island in the Lesser Antilles, a climate change adaptive and hurricane resilient design for a specific site in the capital Roseau is proposed in this master thesis project in Sustainable Urban Design. The project ai

There is not much that can compete with pre- paring and enjoying a meal, cooked to perfec- tion, in the company of friends. No matter how skilled you are at cooking or baking, it is impossible to achieve the same quality of bread and pizza as in a restaurant since a regular household oven will not genera- te the temperature or taste needed. To solve this I set out to design a way for homeowner

This thesis aimed to investigate the communication and information strategies, the evacuation

The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. The world international organizations and governments are devoting efforts and initiatives in a trial to manage global warming in

Romana mors (=Roman death) was the expression the Romans used for suicide since the Latin word suicidium didn’t exist in classical Latin and didn’t appear until the late Middle Ages. Such deaths were common among the upper classes in the 1st century B.C. and A.D., the two periods which I have drawn material from, and were considered as a noble way to end one’s life, a turning-point being Cato’s su

Ethiopia produces 86% of its electricity from hydropower source, still they experience frequent power shortages. As they are part of the East African Power Pool, this power shortage is usually made up for by buying energy from other members of the pool. Forecasting the energy available for usage in the future allows Ethiopia to buy energy ahead of time when prices are low, but also to sell surplus

Even though flying is the most unsustainable mode of transport due to its high contribution to global climate change (global warming), it is widely used and is predicted to increase considerably in the future. This goes against the global goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in order to reach the two-degree target set in the Paris Agreement. I am addressing this problem by looking into the

The white blood cell count and differential is an important part of diagnosing a number of medical conditions. Instead of doing this by manual microscopy, CellaVision’s technology has automated the process of finding and classifying white blood cells. To support a diagnosis it is desired that the system can produce cytoplasm-to-nucleus-ratio. This ratio is calculated from a segmented image where t

One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. The lignin was then processed by catalytic hydroproces

Changes in the landscape may affect our relation to specific places. In an increasingly globalized world with a global culture where planners and developers try to attract to the common and the average human, places run the risk of losing their unique characteristics. This may lead to a loss of people’s emotional attachment to places since they aren’t able to identify with the traits of the place
