Magnetic map sense in animals: effects of geographic and magnetic displacements

Popular Abstract in Swedish Djurs förmåga att hitta då de förflyttar sig långa sträckor mellan fortplantningsområden och övervintringsområden har fascinerat människor i hundratals år. Det finns flera olika teorier kring hur djur navigerar, till exempel med hjälp av dofter, landmärken, solen, polariserat ljus, stjärnorna eller jordens magnetfält. Att djur skulle kunna använda sig av just jordens maMigration research is a large and diverse field and in my thesis I have focused on the impact of geomagnetic cues on animal orientation, navigation and migratory fuelling. Several animal species from widely different taxa possess the ability to sense and make use of geomagnetic information during migratory or homing events. I used a map showing isolines for magnetic total field intensity and incl

The basic hypothesis is that mind is an emergent property of the processes that produce natural language expressions. The shape of the mind of a particular person can be discovered through the mechanisms forming the corresponding language space. Although covered by textual surface properties, this space is approachable with VERTEX, which is a new version of Perspective Text Analysis (PTA). Due to

Social stress och sociala risker i två städer – ett analysexempel

Människor som lever under social utsatthet bor ofta i särskilda delar av städer. I grannskap som präglas av strukturella riskfaktorer som arbetslöshet, otrygg boendemiljö, trångboddhet och territoriell marginalisering (utsatta bostadsområden), tenderar också befolkningen att utsättas för social stress, ohälsa, social oro och oönskade sociala händelser i högre utsträckning än andra. Detta tydliggör

The Role of Energy in the Industrial Revolution and Modern Economic Growth

The expansion in the supply of energy services over the last couple of centuries has reduced the apparent importance of energy in economic growth despite energy being an essential production input. We demonstrate this by developing a simple extension of the Solow growth model, which we use to investigate 200 years of Swedish data. We find that the elasticity of substitution between a capital-labor

Interart Poetics: Essays on the Interrelations of the Arts and Media

In this anthology are gathered 28 essays, devoted to the interrelations of the arts and media. They present together the current state of the emerging field of Interart Studies. The contributors – Stephen Greenblatt, Claus Clüver, Erika Fischer-Lichte, John Neubauer, Steven Paul Scher, Walter Bernhart, Ulrich Weisstein, Eric Haskell, Eric Vos, Thomas Elsaesser, among others – are leading internati

Channel capacity performance of multi-band dual antenna in proximity of a user

This paper presents an evaluation of single input single output (SISO), single input multiple output (SIMO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel capacities for a dual antenna prototype in proximity of a user. The dual antenna prototype mimics today’s small mobile phone design in size and in comprising internal, compact, multi-band antennas. Four different user cases are evaluated by m

A unified view of systems

A unified view of systems is suggested which relates to both model theory and relational databases. The approach towards a unified view is here centered around viewing a system as a structure of the form S = < A, R > putting focus on the relational aspects of the system concept. This is motivated by some examples of various systems which are shown to fit into the proposed unification.

The Linnaeus-Palme Exchange program — A program evaluation report for the period 2006-2012

Abstract in UndeterminedThe report is an evaluation of five years of Linnaeus-Palme exchange programme between the chemistry departments at University of Gothenburg, Sweden and University of the West Indies, Jamaica. The exchange programme gives students and teachers at the two universities the possibility to study and teach at the partner university to better understand the international implicat

Mach Number on Outlet Plane of a Straight Micro-Tube

The Mach number and pressure on the outlet plane of a straight micro-tube were investigated numerically for both laminar and turbulent flow cases. The numerical methodology is based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. The LB1 turbulence model was used for the turbulent flow case. The compressible momentum and energy equations with the assumption of the ideal gas were solved. The com
