2. 1. Interacting particle systems in a randomly evolving environment

   Author : Marcus M J Warfheimer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interacting particle systems; contact process; randomly evloving environment; spin systems; Interacting particle systems;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns interacting particle systems in a randomly evolving environment. In the first paper, we consider the so called contact process in a randomly evolving environment (CPREE), introduced by Erik Broman. This process is a generalization of the contact process where the recovery rate can vary between two values. READ MORE

4. 2. Interacting Particle Systems: Percolation, Stochastic Domination and Randomly Evolving Environments

   Author : Erik Broman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Determinantal processes; k-dependence; k-block-factors; percolation; stochastic Ising models; contact process; $ epsilon-$movability; hidden Markov chain; stochastic domination; k-block-factors;

   Abstract : In this thesis we first analyze the class of one-dependent trigonometric determinantal processes and show that they are all two-block-factors. We do this by constructing the two-block-factors explicitly. Second we investigate the dynamic stability of percolation for the stochastic Ising model and the contact process. READ MORE

5. 3. Interacting particle systems in varying environment, stochastic domination in statistical mechanics and optimal pairs trading in finance

   Author : Marcus M J Warfheimer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interacting particle systems; contact process; randomly evolving environment; spin systems; Ising model; fuzzy Potts model; pairs trading; optimal stopping; contact process;

   Abstract : In this thesis we first consider the contact process in a randomly evolving environment, introduced by Erik Broman. This process is a generalization of the contact process where the recovery rate can vary between two values. The rate which it chooses is determined by a background process, which evolves independently at different sites. READ MORE

6. 4. Human body composition. Reference data and anthropometric equations. The metabolic syndrome and risk

   Author : Ingrid Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : adults; anthropometry; atherosclerotic morbidity; body composition; body fat; cardiovascular disease; DEXA; dual energy x-ray absorptiometry; fat-free mass; FFM; humans; metabolic syndrome; morbidity; mortality; prediction equations; randomly selected sample; reference data; sagittal trunk diameter; TBK; total body potassium; waist circumference;

   Abstract : The determination of body composition is a key to the understanding of the relation between obesity and disease. In order to evaluate body composition data, reference values are needed. Since methods with high validity and reproducibility are expensive and often time consuming, simpler techniques based on anthropometry are needed. READ MORE

7. 5. Detection and Characterisation of Salmonella in Animal Feed Samples by PCR-Based Methods

   Author : Charlotta Löfström; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Biokemisk teknik; Biochemical technology; Analytisk kemi; Analytical chemistry; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; validation; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Salmonella; ribotyping; detection; animal feed; randomly amplified polymorphic DNA; pulsed-field gel electrophorsis; pre-PCR processing; PCR; polymerase chain reaction; genotyping;

   Abstract : Animal feed is a recognised source of Salmonella enterica for farm livestock and may also indirectly cause infection in people consuming foods of animal origin. It is therefore important to have rapid, reproducible and specific methods for the detection of Salmonella in feed, and for the characterisation of strains for further epidemiological investigations or to trace the source of contamination in a production facility.
