2. 11. Engendering Spatial Planning : A Gender Perspective on Municipal Climate Change Response

   Author : Christian Dymén; Göran Cars; Richard Langlais; Susan Buckingham; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Spatial planning; climate change; gender perspective; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

   Abstract : While climate change mitigation has been on the agenda of spatial planning practitioners for over two decades, adaptation has only become influential in spatial planning practice in recent years. This trend is evident not only at the municipal levelbut also at the regional and national levels. READ MORE

4. 12. Homogenization of Some Selected Elliptic and Parabolic Problems Employing Suitable Generalized Modes of Two-Scale Convergence

   Author : Jens Persson; Anders Holmbom; Liselott Flodén; Marianne Lindberg; Mårten Gulliksson; Peter Wall; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; H-convergence; G-convergence; homogenization; multiscale analysis; two-scale convergence; multiscale convergence; elliptic partial differential equations; parabolic partial differential equations; monotone operators; heterogeneous media; non-periodic media; Mathematical analysis; Analys;

   Abstract : The present thesis is devoted to the homogenization of certain elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations by means of appropriate generalizations of the notion of two-scale convergence. Since homogenization is defined in terms of H-convergence, we desire to find the H-limits of sequences of periodic monotone parabolic operators with two spatial scales and an arbitrary number of temporal scales and the H-limits of sequences of two-dimensional possibly non-periodic linear elliptic operators by utilizing the theories for evolution-multiscale convergence and λ-scale convergence, respectively, which are generalizations of the classical two-scale convergence mode and custom-made to treat homogenization problems of the prescribed kinds.

5. 13. G-Convergence and Homogenization of some Sequences of Monotone Differential Operators

   Author : Liselott Flodén; Anders Holmbom; Nils Svanstedt; Mårten Gulliksson; Björn Birnir; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; G-convergence; Homogenization; Multiscale convergence; Two-scale convergence; Monotone opertors; Functional analysis; Partial differential equations; Mathematical analysis; Analys;

   Abstract : This thesis mainly deals with questions concerning the convergence of some sequences of elliptic and parabolic linear and non-linear operators by means of G-convergence and homogenization. In particular, we study operators with oscillations in several spatial and temporal scales. READ MORE

6. 14. Land Degradation and Climate in Iceland - a spatial and temporal assessment

   Author : Rannveig Olafsdottir; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatial analysis; long-term analysis; Holocene; spatial simulations; Iceland; Geology; fysisk geografi; physical geography; Geologi; land cover; farmers perception; Land degradation;

   Abstract : Degradation of vegetation and soil erosion has contributed to loss of biological productivity and land degradation in Iceland. This thesis focuses on spatial and temporal patterns of land degradation in Iceland from a geographical perspective both along short and long timescales. READ MORE

7. 15. Material metabolism of residential buildings in Sweden: Material intensity database, stocks and flows, and spatial analysis

   Author : Paul Gontia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
