Spatial and temporal dynamics of subarctic birch forest carbon exchange
Popular Abstract in English The long-term stability of the global terrestrial carbon sink has been a matter of concern in that a weakening would have serious consequences for atmospheric CO2 concentrations and, hence, for further changes in climate. High northern latitudes are of special importance for the global carbon budget as they store large amounts of organic matter in the soil and are expecHigh northern latitudes are of special importance for the global carbon budget as they store large amounts of organic matter in the soil and are expected to be the most strongly affected by climate change. Here we investigate carbon exchange in the subarctic mountain birch forest growing on the limit where tree growth is possible. The study sites are located close to the Abisko village in norther
IP security – a disruptive or sustaining technology shift?
The shift towards IP-based security products and systems is often touted as an example of a disruptive technology that have had – and will continue to have – profound consequences for the electronic security industry as a whole. Based on Clayton Christensen’s theories on disruptive innovation, this document argues that the in- troduction of IP-based technology has different effects depending on th
Parametric Study of Emissions from Low Calorific Value Syngas Combustion, with Variation of Fuel Distribution, in a Prototype Three Sector Burner
The emission composition is measured for a prototype burner while varying the equivalence ratio in discrete portions of the burner. The burner is a three sector system, consisting of a separate igniter, pilot/stabilizer and main burner. The design allows for discrete control of equivalence ratio in each of the three sectors. The ignition sector, designated RPL (Rich- Pilot-Lean), operates from ric

Abstract in Spanish En aquellas operaciones robóticas en las que un robotmanipulador interactúa con su entorno resulta de extremadaimportancia poder controlar la fuerza que ésterealiza. Normalmente, para poder llevar a cabo este control,se suele colocar un sensor de fuerza en la muñeca delmanipulador, cerrando de esta forma el lazo de control.En lo que se refiere a estos sensores, uno de los princ
Study of a Large Deformable Mirror Concept
Popular Abstract in Swedish Deformerbara speglar som används i teleskop är förhållandevis små med en diameter på 10-30 cm, med undantag av ett fåtal. Den största deformerbara spegeln som är integrerad i ett teleskop idag, har en diameter på 911 mm och återfinns i Large Binocular Telescope. I designen för E-ELT har en deformerbar spegel med en diameter på dryga 2 m inkluderats och GMT har ett antalIt is attractive to integrate a large deformable mirror for adaptive optics into an astronomical telescope rather than using relay optics within an auxiliary instrument. However, the resulting large deformable mirror can be expensive, particularly for extremely large telescopes. We have pursued a low-cost approach using force actuators connected to the back of the deformable mirror through suction

Perspectives of anxiety in stressful environments : Prospective studies in real-life settings
Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande avhandling behandlar upplevelsen av ångest i stressfulla miljöer. Studierna i avhandlingen fokuserar framförallt på att undersöka två olika frågor. Den första frågan som undersöks är om en ökad ångest som personlighetsdrag kan förutsäga en sämre förmåga att utföra olika exekutiva kontrollfunktioner framförallt relaterade till aktivitet i hjärnan pannlob. DeThe present thesis deals with perspectives of anxiety experienced in stressful environments. As such two major issues are addressed. The first issue is whether increased trait anxiety during work in a high-stress environment is related to impaired performance on executive control tasks. The second issue is whether the characteristic of a stressor and pre-stress individual differences in executive
On physical limitations for broadband electromagnetic scattering --- high order spherical waves
Limitations on the scattering matrix are derived for a wide class of objects, restricting their broadband interaction with electromagnetic vector spherical waves in terms of their size, shape and static material properties. In particular, it is seen that the order of the dominating term for electrically small objects increases with the order of the spherical wave. The results are applicable to man
Dynamics of Excitation Transfer and Charge Separation in Polymeric Semiconductors
Dynamics of optically excited electronic states have been studied in solid films and solutions of semiconducting polymers and model compounds. Transient absorption, monitored in the spectral range from 0.9 eV to 2.5 eV with a time resolution of about 100 fs, was the main experimental technique. Transient anisotropy, obtained from different polarizations of light, was employed to trace the dipole m
Nuns and Sisters in the Nordic Countries after the Reformation. A Female Counter-Culture in Modern Society
Female religious communities, and later also convents, accompanied the return of the Catholic Church to the Nordic countries in the middle of the nineteenth century. These religious communities were mostly so-called active orders or congregations, who helped in parishes or ran private schools, orphanages or nursing homes. In the 1930s there were nearly 1,400 Catholic sisters working in Scandinavia
Structural Assessment of concrete railway bridges: nonlinear analysis and remaining fatigue life
Density Evolution Analysis of Braided Convolutional Codes on the Erasure Channel
Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes with a structure that is similar to product codes or generalized LDPC codes. We derive explicit input/output transfer functions of the component convolutional decoders for the binary erasure channel (BEC). These are then used to formulate exact density evolution equations for blockwise BCCs under belief propagatio
Stat, kris och demokrati : Lapporörelsens inflytande i Finland 1929-1932
This dissertation discusses how actors within the state act during a crisis of democracy. This issue is examined from two angles: 1 . How can actors within the state act during democratic crises? 2. How have actors within the state acted during democratic crises? The structure of this book is guided by both of these issues. In the first part of the book, an analytical model is developed. With the
