  2. 1. Anchoring biases in estimations of age, weight and height

    Author : Linda Langeborg; Mårten Eriksson; Peter Juslin; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; anchoring; anchor effects; own-anchor effect; assimilation; contrast; age estimation; weight estimation; height estimation; social judgments;

    Abstract : The main purpose of this thesis was to study the circumstances under which anchoring biases occur for estimation of age, weight and height. Paper I investigated accuracy and biases in age estimates made by salespersons with experience in age estimation, compared to a control group without any similar experience. READ MORE

  4. 2. Breaking the ice : effects of ice formation and winter floods on vegetation along streams

    Author : Lovisa Lind; Christer Nilsson; Christine Weber; Michael Scott; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; anchor ice; climate change; in-stream; riparian; river ice; streams; vegetation;

    Abstract : Streams in cold regions are characterized by unique hydrological processes that control flow regime and water levels. One of the most important processes is the formation, growth and melting of different types of ice in and around the stream channel during winter. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ice, wood and rocks : regulating elements in riverine ecosystems

    Author : Johanna Engström; Christer Nilsson; Roland Jansson; James Helfield; Tenna Riis; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : riparian zone; timber floating; river restoration; cut-off side channels; hydrochory; large wood; anchor ice; fish;

    Abstract : Riparian ecosystems are of great importance in the landscape, connecting landscape elements longitudinally and laterally and often encompassing sharp environmental gradients in ecological processes and communities. They are influenced by fluvial disturbances such as flooding, erosion and sediment deposition, which create dynamic and spatially heterogeneous habitats that support a high diversity of species.

  6. 4. Perilipin expression in the islets of Langerhans and Surface expression in the baculovirus/insect cell system

    Author : Jörgen Borg; Molekylär endokrinologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; lipotoxicity; beta-cell; perilipin; amino-terminal anchor; Baculovirus; surface display;

    Abstract : Surface display in insect cells: Systems available for surface display that utilize bacterial phages are insufficient for displaying a number of eukaryotic proteins. By instead presenting proteins on the surface of eukaryotic cells or virus, some of these problems might be overcome. READ MORE

  7. 5. Robust execution of robot task-plans : a knowledge-based approach

    Author : Abdelbaki Bouguerra; Lars Karlsson; Alessandro Saffiotti; Froduald Kabanza; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Autonomous mobile robots; plan execution and monitoring; semantic knowledge; cognitive robotics.; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer and Systems Science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Autonomous mobile robots are being developed with the aim of accomplishing complex tasks in different environments, including human habitats as well as less friendly places, such as distant planets and underwater regions. A major challenge faced by such robots is to make sure that their actions are executed correctly and reliably, despite the dynamics and the uncertainty inherent in their working space. READ MORE
