  2. 21. Fluorescence as a biological feedback signal for energy optimising spectra for greenhouse LED-illumination

    Author : Linnéa Ahlman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fluorescence; Photosynthesis; Automatic control; Greenhouse illumination; LED lighting; Spectrum optimisation;

    Abstract : The introduction of LED-lighting for greenhouses has enabled new ways of controlling the light, both spectrum and intensity, to save energy and increase crop production. We have investigated a new method of automatically tuning the spectrum based on biological feedback. READ MORE

  4. 22. Plasticity of memory functioning : genetic predictors and brain changes

    Author : Martin Bellander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human cognitive functions are not determined from birth, but are plastic and can be altered by environmental factors. The promising idea of a cognitive intervention that would improve memory functioning has attracted a lot of attention over the last decades. READ MORE

  5. 23. Adaptive Forgetting through Multiple Models and Adaptive Control of Car Dynamics

    Author : Peter Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adaptive forgetting; Multiple models; Adaptive control; Car dynamics;

    Abstract : A new recursive identif ication method, Adaptive Forgetting through Multiple Models - AFMM, is presented and evaluated using computer simulations. AFMM is specif ically suited for identification of systems with jumping or rapidly changing parameters. READ MORE

  6. 24. Agriculture, climate change, and adaptation in Morocco : A computable general equilibrium analysis

    Author : Ismail Ouraich; Purdue University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : The empirical analysis in this dissertation comprises two essays investigating the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Morocco, with an emphasis on climate uncertainty and robust adaptation.^ The first essay in Chapter 4 provides estimates of economic impacts of climate change, and estimates on the extent to which the current Moroccan agricultural development and investment strategy, the Plan Maroc Vert (PMV), could help in agricultural adaptation to climate change and uncertainty.

  7. 25. Skeletal Muscle Mass & Function in Older Women : Health-Enhancing Influences of Combined Resistance Exercise & Diet

    Author : Emelie Strandberg; Fawzi Kadi; Elodie Ponsot; Carl-Johan Sundberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Healthy ageing; Chronic inflammation; C-reactive protein; Omega-3 fatty acids; Resistance training; Physical function;

    Abstract : Ageing is accompanied by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength which may lead to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living in older adults. Although the exact cause of the gradual decline in muscle mass is unknown, identifying efficient strategies aiming to prevent age-related loss of muscle mass and strength is important in order to promote healthy ageing.
