  2. 16. Food webs in agroecosystems : implications for biological control of insect pests

    Author : Eve Roubinet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The management of insect pests in modern agriculture is dominated by chemical control, despite wide recognition of its detrimental impact on the environment and human health. As a sustainable alternative, the service of biological control of insect pests is provided by a diversity of natural enemies, such as ground dwelling carabids and spiders. READ MORE

  4. 17. Towards efficient modeling and simulation of district energy systems

    Author : Johan Simonsson; Wolfgang Birk; Khalid Atta; Mika Ruusunen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatic Control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Dynamic simulation of district energy systems has an increased importance in the transition towards renewable energy sources, lower temperature district heating grids and waste heat recovery from industrial plants and data centers. However, a city-scale, automatically generated and updated simulator that can be used for the whole lifecycle of the plant remains a distant vision. READ MORE

  5. 18. Daylight compliance of multi-dwelling apartment blocks : Design considerations, evaluation criteria and occupant responses
