  2. 1. Free Ensemble Improvisation

    Author : Harald Stenström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; aleatorics; artistic research; attractor state; central tone; chaotic systems; collective understanding; comprovisation; conceptual model; directed motion; ensemble size; feedback and feedforward; free ensemble improvisation; gesture; importance of rhythm; indeterminacy; interactional skill; listening skill; musical evaluation; musical interaction; musical maturity; musical chemistry; musical interpretation; musical composition; non-idiomatic improvisation; rhythmic flow; sound properties; stylistic influences;

    Abstract : The aim of this doctoral project has been to study so-called non-idiomatic improvisation in ensembles consisting of two or three musicians who play together without any restrictions regarding style or genre and without having predetermined what is to be played or how they should play. The background to this thesis has been the author’s own free improvising, which he has pursued since 1974, and the questions that have arisen whilst music-making. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cross-scale monitoring, landscape trajectories, and feedback in forest management : Examples from southern and middle boreal ecosystems in Sweden

    Author : Sofia Eriksson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestisk ekologi;

    Abstract : To manage for sustainability in a complex and changing world requires understanding of the coupled human-environmental system. The two case studies in this licentiate thesis are linked by what we can learn from past and current management in the form of feedback and how it can be incorporated into practical forest management within the boreal region.

  5. 3. Effects of GH and liver-derived IGF-I on growth and metabolism

    Author : Klara Sjögren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GH; IGF-I; Insulin; GHRH; Somatostatin; GHS; Body growth; Body composition; Liver; Bone mineral content; Bone mineral density.;

    Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) exerts major effects on body growth and metabolism. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is expressed in response to GH and is known to mediate many of the effects of GH. The largest expression of IGF is found in the liver although it is expressed in virtually every tissue of the body. READ MORE

  6. 4. Model-Based Optimization of Combustion-Engine Control

    Author : Gabriel Turesson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : Model Predictive Control MPC ; Partially Premixed Combustion; Pressure Sensor Feedback; Model Based Control; Particle Filter; Multiple Fuel Injections; Gasoline Compression Ignition; Model Predictive Control MPC ; Partially Premixed Combustion PPC ; Low Temperature Combustion; Model Based Control; Multiple Fuel Injections; Pressure Sensor Feedback; Particle Filter; Gasoline Compression Ignition;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis is motivated by the need to reliably operate a compression-ignition engine in a partially premixed combustion (PPC) mode. Partially premixed combustion is a low temperature combustion concept, where the ignition delay is prolonged to enhance fuel-air mixing in the combustion chamber before the start of combustion.

  7. 5. Who comes first? Implications of the plant-microbiome-soil continuum feedback on plant performance

    Author : David Castro; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Plants are sessile organisms that rely on their ability to explore the soil to access the nutrients and water they need to survive. Plants have co-evolved with certain groups of bacteria and fungi that provide nutrients and water and enhance tolerance to abiotic and biotic stressors in exchange for Carbon (C). READ MORE
