  2. 1. Effects of temperature and terrestrial carbon on fish growth and pelagic food web efficiency

    Author : Robert Lefébure; Ulf Båmstedt; Pär Byström; Stefan Larsson; Agneta Andersson; Lars-Gösta Rudstam; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Attack rates; Bacterial production; Climate change; Critical resource density; Growth rates; Microbial food web; Three-spined stickleback;

    Abstract : Both temperature and terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (TDOC) have strong impacts on aquatic food web dynamics and production. Temperature affects vital rates of all organisms and terrestrial carbon has been shown to alter the dynamics of phytoplankton and bacterial production and affect the trophic structure of planktonic food webs.

  4. 2. Model based aircraft design : high angle of attack aerodynamics and weight estimation methods

    Author : Christopher Jouannet; John Fielding; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses modelling of high angle of attack aerodynamic characteristics and weight estimation for highly maneuverable aircraft during conceptual design. In order to allow configuration selection with sufficient confidence, especially with unconventional configurations, high angle of attack aerodynamic prediction and weight estimations methods need to be improved.

  5. 3. What is a life worth? : methodological issues in estimating the value of a statistical life

    Author : Mikael Svensson; Lars Hultkrantz; Magnus Johannesson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Value of a statistical life; scale bias; cognitive ability; hypothetical bias; cost-benefit analysis; calibration; certainty approach; attitude theory; seat belt use; bicycle helmet use; altruism; mortality rates; acute myocardial infarction; unemployment.; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses methodological issues in estimating the value of a statistical life (VSL). Two main approaches have been used to estimate the VSL, the indirect and direct methods; the indirect method is based on revealed preferences, such as the wage premium demanded for a risky job.

  6. 4. Essays on the term structure of interest rates and monetary policy

    Author : Magnus Dahlquist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Penningpolitik; Ränta;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four empirical essays, summarized below.In “On Alternative Interest Rate Processes'' the interest rate dynamics for four European countries are studied. There seems to be a positive relation between the interest rate level and the volatility of interest rate changes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease: Risk Factors and Outcome Predictors with special reference to the role of leukocytes and inflammatory mediators

    Author : Ali Mohamed Elneihoum; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transient ischemic attack.; stroke; risk factors; recurrence; mortality; leukocyte; epidemiology; cytokines; Atherosclerosis; cerebral ischemia; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is usually a consequence of atherosclerosis and is the commonest cause of stroke. The identification of risk factors and outcome predictors and the initiation of preventive measures constitute the cornerstone of efforts to reduce the risk of stroke and improve outcome. READ MORE
