  2. 1. Cascading extinctions in food webs : local and regional processes

    Author : Anna Eklöf; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cascading extinctions; complexity; connectance; dispersal; food web; local dynamics; regional dynamics; resistance; spatial structure; species loss;

    Abstract : Ecological communities all over the world are loosing biodiversity due to different kinds of human activities and there is an urgent need of understanding how those losses affect the function of the ecosystems on which we all depend. The community's response to species losses is likely to depend on both the structure of the local community as well as its interactions with surrounding communities. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optical Parametric Devices in Periodically Poled LiTaO3

    Author : Martin Levenius; Katia Gallo; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Giuseppe Leo; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonlinear optics; parametric processes; frequency downconver-sion; quasi-phase matching; LiTaO3; broadband downconversion; quadratic cascading; nonlinear photonic crystals; twin-beam generation;

    Abstract : Optical parametric frequency conversion based on quasi phase matching (QPM) in nonlinear optical crystals is a powerful technique for generating coherent radiation in wavelength ranges spanning from the mid-infrared (mid-IR) to the blue, displaying low thermal load and high efficiency.This thesis shows how QPM in one- (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) lattices can be employed to engineer novel devices for parametric downconversion in the IR, af-fording freedom in designing both spectral and angular properties of the parametric output.

  5. 3. Mini-Jet Production in Proton-Antiproton Interactions and Particle Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions

    Author : Haiqiao Wang; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proton antiproton interaction; Quark-gluon plasma; dynamical fluctuation; intermittency; limiting fragmentation; intranuclear cascading; target fragmentation; heavy-ion collision; image processing; mini-jet; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:1997:Wang;

    Abstract : The thesis is based on the data analysis and detector development of the EMU01/CERN, E863/BNL and UA1/CERN experiments. Particle fluctuations are studied with the scaled factorial moments in the fragmentation region of oxygen-induced emulsion interactions from 3.7 to 200 A GeV. READ MORE

  6. 4. Coordination of protection system and VSC-HVDC to mitigate cascading failures

    Author : Rujiroj Leelaruji; Lennart Söder; Jianping Wang; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Abstract : The rapid development of the global economics has made power systems allover the world become large-scale interconnected grids. This increases the capabilityof power grids to transfer power over the long distance to serve the desiredpower demand with the minimum cost of operation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Data management in control applications : a proposal based on active database systems

    Author : Esa Falkenroth; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Active database management systems can provide general solutions to data management problems in control applications. This thesis describes how traditional control algorithms and high-level operations in a control system can be combined by using an embedded active object-relational database management system as middleware.
