  2. 1. Taxonomy, phylogeny, and secondary sexual character evolution of diving beetles, focusing on the genus Acilius

    Author : Johannes Bergsten; Anders N. Nilsson; Jyrki Muona; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; antagonistic coevolution; arms race; sexual conflict; diving beetle; Dytiscidae; Coleoptera; taxon sampling; long-branch attraction; parsimony; Bayesian analysis; taxonomic revision; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Sexual conflict can lead to antagonistic coevolution between the sexes, but empirical examples are few. In this thesis secondary sexual characters in diving beetles are interpreted in the light of sexual conflict theory. READ MORE

  4. 2. Arterial stiffness and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in young adults

    Author : Ulrika Fernberg; Anita Hurtig-Wennlöf; Maria Fernström; Bo Fernhall; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; arterial stiffness; pulse wave analysis; intima media thickness; cardiorespiratory fitness; physical activity; body composition; young adults;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a complex, chronic vessel wall disease that often leads to severe and acute cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as myocardial infarction and stroke. CVD are the most common cause of death, both globally and in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spatio-Temporal Data Mining for Location-Based Services

    Author : Gyözö Gidofalvi; Torben Bach Pedersen; Xiaofang Zhou; Agnès Voisard; Simonas Saltenis; Geomatic ApS - Center for Geoinformatics; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatio-temporal data mining; location-based services; location and trajectory anonymization;

    Abstract : Largely driven by advances in communication and information technology, such as the increasing availability and accuracy of GPS technology and the miniaturization of wireless communication devices, Location–Based Services (LBS) are continuously gaining popularity. Innovative LBSes integrate knowledge about the users into the service. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biomarkers of vascular function and structure in young healthy adults

    Author : Paul Pettersson-Pablo; Anita Hurtig-Wennlöf; Torbjörn Nilsson; Lars Breimer; Anders Larsson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; vascular function; vascular structure; body composition; age; inflammation; clinical chemistry; biomarker;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting the blood vessels in the body. Its pathophysiologic mechanisms involve infiltration of the vessel walls by fatty matter and immune cells. This process is slow, starting in childhood but typically not manifesting as symptomatic disease until late adulthood (after 60 years of age). READ MORE

  7. 5. Hygroscopic Properties of Atmospheric Aerosol Particles in Various Environments

    Author : Jingchuan Zhou; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tandem differential mobility analyser TDMA ; internal and external mixture; closure study; GDF95; AOE-96; Fysik; Physics; Kärnfysik; Nuclear physics; ACE-2; CLAIRE98; differential mobility particle sizer DMPS ; atmospheric aerosol particles; hygroscopic growth; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Zhou;

    Abstract : Atmospheric aerosol particles affect our living environment in many ways. Their effects are influenced by the interaction between the aerosol particles and the ubiquitous water vapour. The number-size distribution is a primary important parameter for aerosol particles and can be measured using the differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS). READ MORE
