    Abstract : In many developing tropical countries, rapid urban growth leads to several problems, including increased thermal stress. This has negative consequences for people's health and well-being, and affects social and commercial outdoor activities negatively. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization of components and materials for EMC barriers

    Author : Urban Lundgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Electronics; Industriell elektronik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents contributions to work for better methodologies for addressing Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) issues. In particular measurement methods are reviewed and devised for acquiring data on barriers used for EMC. Such data is used for characterization, modeling and model verification of barriers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Housing clusters for densification within an upgrading strategy : the case of Kampala, Uganda

    Author : Assumpta Nnaggenda-Musana; Dick Urban Vestbro; Tumsifu Nnkya; KTH; []
    Keywords : low-income housing; home-based enterprises; house types; residential density; urban sprawl; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The process of urbanisation in the urban centres of most sub-Saharan African countries has been brought about by numerous factors including rural to urban migration, natural increase in population, and in-migration. In Uganda due to these factors the capital city Kampala is growing rapidly. READ MORE

  6. 4. EMC barriers : measurement methodologies and model verification

    Author : Urban Lundgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Electronics; Industriell elektronik;

    Abstract : The subject of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is introduced. A short overview of the regulatory EMC requirements in Europe and in the United States is presented. An explanation is given why it is important for people in the electronics business to understand the need for EMC regulations. READ MORE

  7. 5. Predicting the sound field from aeroacoustic sources on moving vehicles : Towards an improved urban environment

    Abstract : In a society where environmental noise is becoming a major health and economical concern, sound emissions are an increasingly critical design factor for vehicle manufacturers. With about a quarter of the European population living close to roads with heavy traffic, traffic noise in urban landscapes has to be addressed first. READ MORE
