  4. 2. Brood sex ratio and sex differences in Tengmalm’s owl : (Aegolius funereus)

    Author : Tim Hipkiss; Gary Bortolotti; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Aegolius funereus; avian CHD1 genes; brood sex ratio; differential mortality; nomadism; northern Sweden; sexual size dimorphism; sibling rivalry; supplementary feeding; vole cycles; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Males and females differ in morphology and behaviour, so that selection acts differently on the two sexes. This changes the relative reproductive success of males and females, and it is beneficial for parents to bias the sex ratio of their broods in favour of the sex with the best survival and breeding prospects.

  5. 3. Phenomenological modelling of sensory integration phenomena using self-organized feature maps

    Author : Tamas Jantvik; Wlodzislaw Duch; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industriell elektronik; Industrial Electronics;

    Abstract : The main contribution of the work presented herein is a method of transferring information from one lattice of artificial neural units to another. The essence of the present method consists of four parts: (1) the wrapping of the artificial neural lattice into a module that given an input to this lattice outputs normalized coordinates for the location of peak activity and the magnitude of the activity at that location; (2) the inter-module exchange of information being carried out by using the coordinates of the neuron that respond the strongest to the input given to the artificial neural lattice; (3) the concept of the transformation map which re-maps normalized coordinates from one module's output space on another's; and (4) fusion carried out by summation of activity fields induced by artificial neural lattices.

  6. 4. Strategic and environmental uncertainty in social dilemmas

    Author : Therese Lindahl; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Social dilemmas constitute a broad class of quandaries, including, for example, common pool resource (CPR) dilemmas and public good (PG) dilemmas. CPR's are characterized by non-excludability and rivalry and are often associated with overexploitation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Promoting Innovation? : A Legal and Economic Analysis of the Application of Article 101 TFEU to Patent Technology Transfer Agreements

    Author : Vladimir Bastidas Venegas; Steven Anderman; Giorgio Monti; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; technology transfer; competition law; patent; licensing; law and economics; innovation; Legal Science; rättsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This study examines the degree to which the application of Article 101(1) Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to patent technology transfer licensing agreements considers and promotes innovation. The study presents a new view on the patent-antitrust intersection, by exploring the competition law assessment of licensing agreements in light of the economic concept of innovation, licensing efficiency and transactional hazards.
