2. 1. The impact of cormorant nesting colonies on plants and arthropods

   Author : Gundula S. Kolb; Peter Hambäck; Lenn Jerling; Post David; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; seabirds; cormorants; islands; nitrogen; phosphorus; plants; arthropods; δ15N; Baltic Sea; ecological stoichiometry; species richness; species composition; numeric response; Biology; Biologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

   Abstract : Seabirds concentrate large amounts of marine nutrients on their nesting islands. This nutrient input can have large consequences for island food webs and community structure. The high nutrient load may also cause runoff into surrounding waters and affect marine communities. READ MORE

4. 2. Bioaccessibility, corrosion and surface properties of metals, alloys and metallic powder in biological fluids of relevance for occupational and consumer health hazard assessment

   Author : Xuying Wang; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Yolanda S. Hedberg; Lars Nyborg; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metal and alloy; metal release; synthetic biological fluids; surface oxide; corrosion resistance; hazard assessment; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : When assessing hazards of metals, alloys, and metal-containing items, the metal release (bioaccessibility) is of high importance. Triggered by increasingly stricter hazard classifications for metals, especially cobalt (Co), and limited knowledge, the aim of this doctoral thesis is to assess correlations between the metal/alloy surface characteristics, corrosion and metal release pattern in different simulated biological fluids relevant to human exposure scenarios (dermal, ingestion and inhalation, Papers I-V).

5. 3. Dynamically Reconfigurable Resource Array

   Author : Muhammad Ali Shami; Ahmed Hemani; S.K Nandy; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DRRA; CGRA; FPGA; VLSI; ASIC; Embedded systems; Coarse grain reconfigurable architecture; reconfigurable computing;

   Abstract : The goals set by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) for the consumer portable category, to be realized by 2020, are 1000X improvement in performance with only 40\% increase in power budget and no increase in design team size. To meet these goals, the challenges facing the VLSI community are gaps in architecture efficacy, design productivity and battery capacity. READ MORE

6. 4. Brand Trust : Corporate communications and consumer-brand relationships

   Author : Clara Gustafsson; Per-Olof Berg; Janet L. Borgerson; Douglas B. Holt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Brand; Trust; Consumer; Corporate Brand; Relationship; Communication; Asymmetrical Reciprocity; Faithful Shielding; Business studies; Företagsekonomi; Business Administration; företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : In the wake of well-known instances of corporate misconduct – for example Enron in the U.S., and Skandia in Sweden – consumers ask for more transparent corporate brand practices to make corporate brands trustworthy. READ MORE

7. 5. Consumer Contextual Learning : The Case of Fast Fashion Consumption

   Author : Emma Samsioe; Institutionen för tjänstevetenskap; []
