Estimating the resilience value of soil biodiversity in agriculture: a stochastic simulation approach

Abstract in UndeterminedCharacteristic of ecosystems is that different organisms can have similar functions and hence provide similar ecosystem services. Consequently functional diversity can maintain the rate of services despite environmental fluctuations. In this paper we present a method for estimating the resilience value of biodiversity. Central to a resilience perspective on biological conse

Multiple description image coding using regions of interest

A multiple description (MD) coding scheme encodes an image such that each description alone yields an acceptable reconstruction quality, and the descriptions together render increasingly better approximations of the image. Traditionally, each description contributes equally to the reconstruction quality throughout the image. This is inefficient from a coding perspective since all descriptions larg

Stress at work and optimism: Implications for health

Previous studies on pessimism and optimism in organizations have mainly focused on productivity and performance. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of optimism in the relationship between stress at work and health. An Internet-based questionnaire was sent to 1345 female and male employees at both managerial and non-managerial level working in a Swedish telecom company. Altoge

The Casa del Torello di Bronzo (V 1,7) in Pompeii. Investigating a residential house and its complex water system

The goal of the thesis is to present the thorough documentation and analysis of a private dwelling in Pompeii, the Casa del Torello di Bronzo (V 1,7), the largest and most dominating dwelling in insula V, and in particular its complex system of water use and distribution. The work is embedded in the on-going study of the entire insula, carried out by the Swedish Pompeii Project, so that it will ul

Multitasking Real-Time Control Systems in Easy Java Simulations

The paper presents the development of interactive real-time control labs using Easy Java Simulations (Ejs). Ejs is a free software tool that allows rapid creation of interactive simulations in Java. A new TrueTime-based kernel has been designed in Ejs in order to create multitasking real-time system simulations as well as soft real-time applications. The main features of these new capabilities are

Film museum exhibitions. Local, regional and national stories about film and culture

Film archives as an institution has for a long time been a prominent object in film studies and archives research. Film museums have since also been studied, but mainly as a place for the archives and less as a locality for exhibitions about film. This presentation discusses different types of film museums and their exhibitions, ranging from the smallest local to the national-level, and asks quest
