Intergrating Peatland and Permafrost dynamics in dynamic vegetation model Integrating peatland and permafrost dynamics in dynamic vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) PhD Half time seminar review Nitin Chaudhary PhD-Student Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science Lund University Supervisors Ben Smith and Paul Miller Introduction Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are considered an imp
We present the results of 3D high-resolution calculations of the last inspiral stages and the final coalescence of neutron star binary systems. The equations of hydrodynamics are solved using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method with up to 106 particles. Using Newtonian gravity, but adding the forces emerging from the emission of gravitational waves, we focus on the impact of microphysics on
Popular Abstract in English The world’s resources of fossil fuels are rapidly being depleted, and we now know that the combustion of these fuels leads to the emission of greenhouse gases resulting in climate change. It is therefore imperative that we develop renewable sources of fuel. The production of bioethanol in Brazil is the best example today of the introduction of a renewable fuel on a largLignocellulosic biomass refers to plant material that is composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. These materials are today of large interest to researchers in the field of biofuel and bioenergy. Residues for forestry and agriculture are particularly interesting since they result from crops with established cultivation procedures and technology for harvest and transportation are alr
This doctoral dissertation presents the development and digital hardware realization of cardiac event detectors. Implantable medical appliances, as the cardiac pacemaker, have progressed from a life sustaining device to a device that considerably improves life quality for all ages. The number of electronic devices and household appliances in everyday live has an ongoing exponential growth. The
In this thesis I have summarised my work on the analysis and improvement of xylose utilisation by recombinant S. cerevisiae. A metabolic flux model was developed and used to analyse the intracellular fluxes in the recombinant xylose utilising S. cerevisiae TMB 3001 cultivated in chemostat at various dilution rates and xylose/glucose concentrations. Xylose uptake increased with xylose concentration
Partial migration is a common phenomenon in animals but has mostly been studied in birds. However, partial migration of cyprinid fish from lakes into streams during winter is a wide-spread phenomenon. Despite the potential trophic effects from an absence of dominant planktivores from the lake during large parts of the winter, only few studies have described this phenomenon. This thesis considers v
Popular Abstract in Swedish Spionen var under kalla kriget en gäckande gestalt som i egenskap av sin synliga osynlighet blev en orienteringspunkt för vardagliga fantasier. Han – för denna det kalla krigets emblematiska figur var oftast en han – blev i flera avseenden just en samtidens mittpunkt i vilken en tudelad världsbild synliggjordes. Mannen i mitten handlar om Spionen i svensk kallakrigskultThe aim of this thesis is to contribute to a broadening of perspectives on Cold War Sweden. It is a study not primarily of the explicit political events or debates, but of the everyday cultural narratives of the era. During the long 1950s, Swedish Cold War imagination was largely characterised by a determination to maintain total security in the response to the threats that loomed on all sides, an
The paper is based on an inventory of crofts and cottages that was made in the parish of Länghem in the southern part of the province of Västergötland, Sweden at the end of the 1950ies and the beginning of the 1960ies. The parish of Länghem has both manors (the medieval Torpa and Hofsnäs and the 17th century Sällerås) and independent villages. The inventory was made quite traditionally. We tried t
That data from polar orbiting satellites have detected a widespread increase in photosynthetic activity over the last 20 years in the grasslands of the Sahel is justifies investigating its role in the tropical carbon cycle. But this task is undermined because ground data that are generally used to support the use of primary production models elsewhere are lacking. In this paper, we profile a Light
Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom innebär att maginnehåll backar (reflux) upp från magsäcken till matstrupen på ett onormalt sätt. Hos den friska individen finns flera mekanismer som skyddar matstrupen från reflux, vilket tydligt åskådliggörs av att man efter en måltid kan ställa sig upp och ner utan att föda backar upp i matstrupen. Vid refluxsjukdom föreligger defekter inEsophageal pH monitoring is important in the clinical management of patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in research aiming to clarify the mechanisms involved in the development of GERD complications. Catheter-based techniques for pH recording are uncomfortable, not well tolerated by all patients and cannot reliably measure acid exposure in the most dist
Cerebral accumulation of amyloid-β is thought to be the starting mechanism in Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid-β can be detected by analysis of cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β42 or amyloid positron emission tomography, but it is unknown if any of the methods can identify an abnormal amyloid accumulation prior to the other. Our aim was to determine whether cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β42 change before am
Organic farming may contribute substantially to future agricultural production worldwide by improving soil quality and pest control, thereby reducing environmental impacts of conventional farming. We investigated in a comprehensive way soil chemical, as well as below and aboveground biological parameters of two organic and two conventional wheat farming systems that primarily differed in fertiliza
Denna uppsats behandlar den historiska utvecklingen som ledde fram till fri abort i Sverige och USA samt jämför två rättsfall från Europadomstolen och USA:s Supreme Court, A, B and C v. Ireland och Roe v. Wade, för att utöver den historiska kontexten ge en förståelse för den juridiska argumentationen. Rättsfallen fokuserar på rätten till abort i relation till rätten till privatliv och analysen ämnThis essay deals with the historical development which prompted free abortion in Sweden and the United States of America, and compares two cases from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the United State’s Supreme Court, to give an understanding of the legal reasoning behind them. The cases focus on the right to abortion in relation to the right to privacy, the analysis therefore aims to
Molten salt applications are challenging from a material perspective. This degree project was carried out at Alfa Laval to give them a better understanding of the corrosion of solar salt on the standard heat exchanger material stainless steel 321. Similar tests have previously been performed externally. By developing test methods for in-house corrosion testing time and money can be saved. In thi
More than 70% of the population in Ethiopia lack access to electricity and thus rely on traditional sources of energy such as biomass that is associated with negative consequences on health and the environment. Decentralized community-based micro-hydropower plants (MHPs) are being utilized as effective means to transition to modern low-carbon energy systems providing access to electricity to commu
Three Approaches to Finitude in Belief Change Sven Ove Hansson (soh@kth.se) Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract. Since neither a human mind nor a computer can deal directly with infinite structures, well-behaved models of belief change should operate exclusively on belief states that have a finite representation. Three ways to achieve this without resorting to a finite langua

För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of
Over the last 40 years, the concept of resilience has made a journey from the fields of ecology and psychology into the social sciences. By now, it has become a term commonly used in the international climate change adaptation and development spheres, describing the ability of an individual or a community to cope with or recover from harmful events. Critics have raised concerns about this spread,
