Analyses of tree regeneration after wind throw in a central Swiss forest: testing a forest succession model’s abilities
(2023)Understorey vegetation plays an important role in forest succession. After stand replacing events (e.g., wind storm, forest fire), understorey vegetation can expand very quickly and compete with tree regeneration. This can severely reduce and retard tree regeneration due to competition for resources (e.g., light, water, nutrients). However, understorey vegetation is often not explicitly taken into account in forest succession models. The ...Bachelor Thesis -
Evaluation of Xilinx Versal Device
(2023)The ”Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform” from AMD/Xilinx combines a classical FPGA part with a CGRA part, the so-called AI Engines, to open up new ways to increase the performance of powerful computers. While ACAP based devices are now available for end users, it is still unclear what the actual capabilities of these devices are and how to use them most effectively. As the first step of this thesis, we examined the provided API and ...Bachelor Thesis -
Turtle Graphics for WebTigerJython-3
(2023)This bachelor thesis presents the development and integration of Turtle Graphics into WebTigerJython-3, an interactive web-based educational platform aimed at introducing beginners to programming and computational thinking. Turtle Graphics is a widespread visual programming concept made popular by Seymour Papert in the 1960s. It revolutionized the way beginners learn how to write code by allowing them to create intricate drawings and ...Bachelor Thesis -
Moment tensor inversion with transmission fiber optics
(2023)In recent years, fiber optic measurement techniques are of high interest in the field of seismology. Lately, it was discovered that earthquake detection with a system originally designed for stabilizing low-noise frequency signals in fiber optic cables is possible. This project demonstrates the usefulness of this phase transmission fiber optic technique in quantitative seismology by inverting for the moment tensor and seismic moment using ...Bachelor Thesis -

Evaluation of the waste management system at the Züri Fäscht
(2023)This thesis evaluates the waste management system implemented for Züri Fäscht, the biggest festival in Zurich. It aims to identify opportunities for optimization in environmental impact reductions and resource efficiency. The study encompasses the analysis of the material flow, transportation, costs, energy, and emissions. Comparisons are made between the latest editions with other big events worldwide. Sorting is a new waste treatment ...Bachelor Thesis -
Creating city archetypes: a new approach to present and future flooding problems
(2023)In an increasingly urbanised world, cities are the hubs of human activity. Shifting urban centers towards sustainability is crucial both from an economical and human perspective. Flooding is the most dangerous natural event for cities, especially those in the tropical belt, characterized by a climate prone to extreme rainfall events. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms that link cities and floods. Unplanned development, ...Bachelor Thesis
