  2. 16. Supermarket food waste : prevention and management with the focus on reduced waste for reduced carbon footprint

    Author : Mattias Eriksson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Food waste occurs along the entire food supply chain and gives rise to great financial losses and waste of natural resources. The retail stage of the supply chain contributes significant masses of waste. Causes of this waste need to be identified before potential waste reduction measures can be designed, tested and evaluated. READ MORE

  4. 17. Parameter Estimation for Multisensor Signal Processing : Reduced Rank Regression, Array Processing and MIMO Communications

    Author : Karl Werner; Sergiy Vorobyov; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signal processing; Signalbehandling;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with three estimation problems motivated by spatial signal processing using arrays of sensors. All three problems are approached using tools from estimation theory, including asymptotical analysis of performance and Cramér-Rao lower bound; Monte Carlo methods are used to evaluate small sample performance.

  5. 18. Coral reefs in a human-dominated environment : implications of altered disturbance regimes and reduced resilience

    Author : Magnus Nyström; Terry Done; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Korallrev; Ekosystem i vatten; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : Coral reefs are facing an "Anthropocene " era where humans have advanced from a minor species with limited influence on coral reefs to a major source of disturbance. Disturbance arriving from human influences may not only interact with each other, but also with natural disturbance regimes, leading to synergistic effects. READ MORE

  6. 19. Indirect effects of river regulation : consequences for landbirds of reduced numbers of aquatic insects

    Author : Darius Strasevicius; Björn Malmqvist; Tapio Eeva; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boreal region; Simuliidae; Leucocytozoon; pied flycatcher; aquatic insects; breeding success; blood parasites; bird communities; river regulation; impoundment; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Abstrakt: Jag har undersökt hur älvreglering påverkar mängden knott (Tvåvingar: Simuliidae) längs flera norrlandsälvar och vilka konsekvenser denna påverkan får för den landlevande fågelfaunan. Studien visar att utbyggnad av älvar har en negativ effekt på mängden knott. READ MORE

  7. 20. The relationship between reduced renal function and cardiovascular disease

    Author : Patrik Svensson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; eGFR; creatinine; cystatin C; CKD-EPI; CKD; CVD; Genetics; Blood Pressure; Hypertension;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the relationship between measures of renal function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with hypertension (the NORDIL study) and in the healthy population (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, MDC) and whether antihypertensive treatment response and the risk of CVD is affected by genetic variation of a regulator of the renal amiloroide sensitive sodium channel (NORDIL). In study 1 we tested creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with Cockroft-Gault (CG) and the MDRD equations and also microalbuminuria (MA) as predictors of CVD, stroke and CVD death.
