Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom gamla träd har blivit mycket ovanligare de senaste 200 åren, både i skogslandskapet och på ängs- och hagmarker, har djur som lever i gamla träd blivit mycket sällsyntare och många arter är utrotningshotade. I gamla ekar bildas ofta mulm i stammarnas håligheter. Mulmen består av murket trämjöl och i den lever en rik och specialiserad fauna som framför allt utgörMany species associated with old trees are threatened, as this habitat has decreased severely in Europe during the last 200 years. In old oaks, hollows with wood mould often form in the trunks and these harbour a specialized fauna mainly consisting of beetles, flies and pseudoscorpions. This thesis contains the first quantitative examination of the habitat requirements and population ecology of sp

Kan kunskap om människors vardagliga aktiviteter användas för att nå närmare målet om minskad energiförbrukning i hushållssektorn? (Kajsa Ellegård: Hushåll, energi och vardagliga aktiviteter, I J Palm & K Ellegård (red), Energi och IT. Carlssons, Stockholm, 2008, s.141-171) Inom ramen för den frågeställning Kajsa Ellegård ställer sig finns två grundläggande definitionsproblem man måste ta stä

In this study, we compared age-related lip mo- vement variability with acoustic variability ac- ross repetitions using Functional Data Analysis (FDA). Lip movement and acoustic data of 15- 20 repetitions of a short Swedish phrase from 50 Swedish speakers were collected. Results showed weak to moderate negative correlations for age and variability in lip movements, phrase duration and sound pressur

When evaluating whether the effect of one treatment is larger than that of another the first step in the comparison is to decide what should be understood by the statement that one patient has achieved a greater effect than has another patient. When the outcome variable is quantitative, measured on a ratio scale, absolute or relative effects are the most commonly used effect measures; however, suc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jag kommer i denna avhandling att resonera kring frågor om skräckfilm som genre och studera hur Hellraiser förhåller sig till dess teman och problem. Hellraiser är en skräckfilm och således, på gott och ont, bunden till en kontroversiell genre. Jag anser det omöjligt att frångå detta i min analys där jag bland annat studerar ondska, sexualitet och genus. Efter en presenIn this dissertation I will discuss horror film as a genre and study how Hellraiser relates to its themes and problems. First I describe the production of the film and after that I present Clive Barker - his background, authorship, film-making and artwork. Next I study the problems of the genre and the different ways in which this genre is defined. I look at narrative characteristics as well as, f

The mechanical properties of major arteries may reflect early manifestations of vascular disease and are also of interest because they are important for cardiac work. Using echo-tracking sonography and blood pressure measurements, arterial stiffness and diameters were investigated in healthy individuals as well as in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or alpha₁-ant

Improved add-compare-select and branch metric units are presented to reduce the complexity in the implementation of trellis-based decoding architectures. These units use a complementary property of the best rate 1/2 convolutional codes to reduce both area requirements and power consumption in a silicon implementation with no loss in decoding performance. For a 0.13μm CMOS process, synthesized comp
