This thesis considers the ecological and evolutionary significance of seed and bud dormancy. First, I present theoretical support to the idea that seed dormancy may evolve as a strategy to reduce sib competition in temporally homogeneous environments. In this thesis, I also analyze two different processes that may give rise to parent-offspring conflicts in angiosperms, viz. seed germination and se

Kidney transplants across the blood-group barrier are medically feasible even if blood-group compatibility is preferred from a medical point of view. However, these types of transplants are motivated by the fact that they help in increasing the number of kidney transplants with living donors. This paper investigates priority matchings in a pairwise kidney exchange problem where blood-group incompa

Pressure on reducing prices and a market demand for customisation and shorter production runs give cause for investigating alternatives to conventional printing. Traditional technologies, such as flexography and offset, are all using static printing forms, while a digital printing unit prints information directly from the data file. Hence, the latter alternative makes it possible to produce short

Vid LTH ska lärare under kursers genomförande ha kvalitetsdialog med studenterna. I samband med kursslut ska studenterna ges möjligheten till kursvärdering med enkäten CEQ (Course Experience Questionnaire). Enkätdata från CEQ avses utgöra delar av underlaget för kvalitetsarbetet. Svarsfrekvenserna för kursvärderingsenkäterna vid LTH varierar stort, med ett snitt på drygt 50 %. När upplevelser, upp

Den dömande verksamheten är en av samhällets mest ingripande former av maktutövning. För att allmänheten ska ha förtroende för denna verksamhet krävs att den framstår som objektiv och därmed legitim. Med utgångspunkt i olika typer av kritik, som förts fram inom såväl den massmediala debatten som den mer rättsinterna aktualiseras frågor om objektivitet och rättstillämpningens legitimitet. FörfattarThe adjudication process is one of society’s most intrusive forms of power. To maintain the general public’s confidence in the judiciary, it is crucial that the judicial activities are perceived as being conducted objectively and hence legitimately. Criminal trials have been subjected to scrutiny and criticism of various kinds in the media as well as in internal debates within the legal discipline

A sequential Bayesian estimation algorithm for joint positioning and multipath mitigation in global navigation satellite systems is presented, with an underlying process model that is especially designed for dynamic user scenarios and dynamic channel conditions. In order to facilitate efficient integration into receivers it builds upon complexity reduction concepts that previously have been applie
