  2. 1. Busted by the bite : Molecular evidence of cryptic foraging behaviors in large herbivores

    Author : Ruth Nichols; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Large herbivores are charismatic species known to engineer ecosystems through a variety of effects. Conflicts can sometimes arise when these effects are undesirable. However, without detailed knowledge on herbivore selectivity for landscapes, patches and plants, these positive and negative effects remain difficult to predict. READ MORE

  4. 2. Precipitation, Raw Water Quality, Drinking Water Treatment and Gastrointestinal Illness

    Author : Andreas Tornevi; Bertil Forsberg; Gordon Langston Nichols; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Abstract : Background On numerous occasions, outbreaks of acute gastrointestinal illnesses (AGI) have been linked to municipal drinking water in the industrialised world. Many of the reported outbreaks were observed after heavy rainfall events, which suggests that such events could result in a deterioration in the quality of drinking water. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling and control of a line-commutated HVDC transmission system interacting with a VSC STATCOM

    Author : Paulo Fischer de Toledo; Hans-Peter Nee; Gustaf Ohlsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Keywords : HVDC transmission; LCC – Line-commutated Current-source Converter; STATCOM; VSC – Voltage Source Converter; Space-Vector complex vector ; transfer-function; frequency-domain analysis; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

    Abstract : The interaction of an HVDC converter with the connected power system is of complex nature. An accurate model of the converter is required to study these interactions. The use of analytical small-signal converter models provides useful insight and understanding of the interaction of the HVDC system and the connected system components. READ MORE
