  2. 1. Maximum spacing methods and limit theorems for statistics based on spacings

    Author : Magnus Ekström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Estimation; spacings; maximum spacing method; consistency; ^-divergence; goodness of fit; unimodal density; entropy estimation; uniform distribution;

    Abstract : The maximum spacing (MSP) method, introduced by Cheng and Amin (1983) and independently by Ranneby (1984), is a general estimation method for continuous univariate distributions. The MSP method, which is closely related to the maximum likelihood (ML) method, can be derived from an approximation based on simple spacings of the Kullback-Leibler information. READ MORE

  4. 2. Plant Population Dynamics of Dodonaea angustifolia and Olea europaea ssp. cuspidata in Dry Afromontane Forests of Ethiopia

    Author : Tesfaye Bekele; Ingvar Backéus; Karin Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Demography; Dodonaea angustifolia; Elasticity; Establishment; Germination; Natural regeneration; Olea europaea ssp. cuspidata; Population structure; Recruitment; Seed bank; Survival; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Ecological Botany; Ekologisk botanik;

    Abstract : Human disturbance has led to excessive deforestation and to a very limited forest cover in the Afromontane zone of Ethiopia, which forms a large part of the country. Thus urgent conservation measures are required to ameliorate the situation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular Structure, Interfacial Chain Topology, Electronic Structure and Fracture Toughness of Polyethylene: A Multiscale Computational Study

    Author : Ali Moyassari Sardehaei; Ulf W. Gedde; Gregory C. Rutledge; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The structure of semicrystalline polyethylene (PE) strongly affects its properties. Two important structural features, namely the concentrations of tie chains and entanglements cannot be directly assessed using experimental techniques. READ MORE

  6. 4. The spatial and temporal dynamics of plant-animal interactions in the forest herb Actaea spicata

    Author : Hugo von Zeipel; Johan Ehrlén; Ove Eriksson; Saskya van Nouhuys; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eupithecia immundata; parasitoid; rodent; seed predation; dispersal; recruitment; multitrophic; metapopulation; trophic cascades; community complexity; Biology; Biologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Abstract : Landscape effects on species performance currently receives much attention. Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered major threats to species diversity. Deciduous forests in southern Sweden are previous wooded pastures that have become species-rich communities appearing as islands in agricultural landscapes, varying in species composition. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computer Simulations of Polymer Gels : Structure, Dynamics, and Deformation

    Author : Natasha Kamerlin; Christer Elvingson; Jan Forsman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; Brownian dynamics; polymer gel; microgel; spherical boundary conditions; hypersphere; core-shell; deswelling; mechanical properties; uniaxial elongation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the results of computer simulation studies of the structure, dynamics, and deformation of cross-linked polymer gels. Obtaining a fundamental understanding of the interrelation between the detailed structure and the properties of polymer gels is a challenge and a key issue towards designing materials for specific purposes.
