Sex allocation theory predicts that whenever the relative fitness of sons and daughters differ, females should invest more in the sex with the greatest fitness return. In this study, we evaluated the influence of various ecological factors on the brood sex ratio (BSR) of Savi’s warblers (Locustella luscinioides) across several breeding seasons. There was a slight but significant female production

In the SPREAD Sustainable Lifestyles 2050 European Social Platform project, a diverse group of societal stakeholders from business, research policy and civil society participated in the development of a vision for sustainable lifestyles in Europe by 2050. The Research Agenda is a key deliverable of the SPREAD Sustainable Lifestyles 2050 project.

Several empirical papers have studied the effect of government size, typically measured as government expenditures, on economic growth. There is no consensus on the direction of this impact, even though more recent studies tend to find a negative relationship between the general level of government expenditures and economic growth. This negative relationship is explained by the distortions that ra

The growing complexity of integrated circuits and increasing component density place higher requirements for raw material and clean room standards, which demand significant amounts of energy. In spite of these developments, semiconductor facilities managed to reduce their energy intensity measured per product unit. At the same time, the impact of increasing circuit integration on upstream life cyc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att gifta sig eller att vara med om en olycka är emotionella händelser som skapar våra mest livfulla och detaljerade minnen. Sådana minnen av händelser i tid och rum kallas generellt episodiska minnen. De flesta människor minns till exempel nästan exakt var de var när de hörde talas om terrorattackerna i New York 2001. De flesta av oss har nog redan glömt vad som hände The investigation of memory distortions provides insights into how memory normally works. Adopting a cognitive neuroscience perspective, the present thesis aimed at investigating memory distortions and the neural correlates of processes contributing to successful control of memory interference in healthy participants. All studies employed variations of the modified continuous recognition task. In

Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektrostatiske vekselvirkninger mellem biomolekyler er vigtige, ikke bare i biologiske systemer, men også i flere tekniske sammenhænge. I denne afhandling studereres en række forskellige egenskaber, relevant for særligt proteiner. Således har vi ved hjælp af molekylær simulering undersøgt hvorledes proteiner vekselvirker med protoner, salte, andre peptider og proteinerElectrostatic interactions in bio-molecular systems are important not only in the living cell but also in more technical applications. Using molecular simulation as well as approximate theories the properties of a number of aqueous protein solutions have been studied. This includes interactions with other proteins, protons, charged membranes as well as flexible polyelectrolytes. The focus is on el
