A model to simulate long-term beach-dune evolution due to interacting longshore and cross-shore sediment transport processes is developed and tested. The work builds on a cross-shore model (CSM) previously developed at Lund University and includes changes to the equations describing aeolian transport and morphological evolution. The modifications are mainly based on existing conceptual geomorpholo

Asylum seekers are often assigned to a locality in their host country directly upon arrival based on some type of uninformed dynamic matching system which does not take the background of the asylum seekers into consideration. This paper proposes an informed, intuitive, easy-to-implement and computationally efficient dynamic mechanism for matching asylum seekers to localities. This mechanism can be

Accommodation businesses are increasingly dependent on a limited number of reservation platforms. A significant feature of these platforms is guest evaluations, which are transformed into ratings and rankings. As the positioning of the business in comparison to competitors determines customer demand, accommodation managers have considerable interest in maintaining or improving their online reputat

This is the resulting rapport from a master thesis in the field of structural analysis, with a focus on earthquake engineering. In this project are pipe supports’ impacts on seismic design analysed. This is done by modelling a building, pipe supports and a pipe system in two different computer softwares. One of them is commonly used for design of pipes at nuclear plants, and the other has applic

The report presents testresults from a research project conceming fatigue of reinforced normal and high strength concrete beams (0.3 x 0.4 x 6.0 m). The beams were designed to have the san1e flexural and shear capacity at a point 1.5 m from the support. Two beams of each sort were tested statically to failure, and four beams of each sort were tested with a fatigue load. The fatigue load varied bet

This study of plural suffixes in written plural contexts used by lebanese learners of second language French is based on previous works by Schlyter & Bartning (2004), Granfeldt et al. (2005) and Ågren (2008). The learning process of an L2 learner passes through stages that are clearly determined and systematic. In this study twenty lebanese learners of L2 French were asked to write a text base

In this paper the different factors that are of importance for the iceconditions in the southern part of the Sound are discussed. The factors are: the air temperature, the water temperature, the wind, the current, the salinity, the coastlines and the quantity of ice in the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea. The wind and the current have an influence on the iceconditions, and this is studied more
