Light-level geolocators were used to record the annual migration cycles of black terns Chlidonias niger (9 individuals, 11 journeys) and common terns Sterna hirundo (7 individuals, 11 journeys) breeding in southernmost Sweden. The black terns used two different non-breeding (Oct–Mar) regions along the Atlantic coast of Africa, either north of the equator between Senegal and Liberia (3 individuals)

Purpose: To address key issues of low SNR and image distortions in prostate diffusion MRI (dMRI) by means of using strong gradients, single-shot spiral readouts and an expanded encoding model for image reconstruction. Methods: Diffusion-weighted spin echo imaging with EPI and spiral readouts is performed on a whole-body system equipped with strong gradients (up to 250 mT/m). An expanded encoding m

En bostads primära funktion är att skapa en avgränsad miljö som ger skydd och komfort mot omvärlden. Enligt utsökningsbalkens bestämmelser ska bostäder utmätas i sista hand eller när annan utmätningsbar egendom saknas. Bestämmelserna kring utmätning av bostäder återfinns i 4:3 UB samt 5:1 6p UB. Vid ett tvångsingripande mot en enskilds bostad ska rätten till hem och äganderättsskyddet i EKMR respeThe primary function of an home is to create a isolated environment that provides comfort and protection against the outside world. According to utsökningsbalkens provisions, an home shall be seized as a last resort or when all other kinds of property is missing. The provisions regarding seizure of homes are found in 4:3 UB and 5:1 6p UB. At a coercive action against an individual's residence,

Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en

Nowadays, multiple antennas are becoming widely used in small mobile terminals as they can significantly improve wireless communication performance in terms of link reliability and spectral efficiency. Also, pattern reconfiguration is another new trend for antenna design as it enables the antennas to adapt to different propagation and user scenarios. However, due to the limited space in the termin

Vätgas har potential i ett energilagringssystem eftersom det är en energibärare som är väldigt energirik och kan lagras i stor skala. Vätgas kan produceras enkelt via elektrolys av vatten och lagras i stora mängd under högt tryck, vid behov kan vätgasen sedan brännas i en kraftverksprocess och generera elektricitet. Då förbränning av vätgas med syrgas enbart bildar vattenånga kan ett förnybart eneHydrogen gas has potential to function as an energy storage solution due to its high energy content and its suitability for large scale storage. Hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis and can be stored in large scale under high pressure, when needed the hydrogen can be burned in a thermal power plant to generate electricity. Since combustion of hydrogen with pure oxygen only yields steam,

Hållbar stadsutveckling är ett viktigt och allt mer prioriterat fokus inom samhällsplanering. Inom ramen för detta har gröna lösningar (ny eller upprustad grönyta, så som parker, gröna stråk, och regnträdgårdar) på senare tid fått ökad uppmärksamhet. Grönska och naturmiljöer utgör viktiga inslag i stadsmiljön och bidrar till att göra den täta staden trivsam, levnadskraftig och attraktiv, samtidigtIn the realm of urban planning, urban greening – the creation or restoration of green spaces in cities – has risen as an attractive approach for policy-makers and planners engaged in sustainability. As the benefits of urban greening are many, from social and cultural to environmental and economic, it has become positioned as a win-win solution to several urban challenges related to sustainable dev

Transistors are used in all digital devices today. The demand of faster and smaller devices such as mobile telephones and computers constantly drives the develop- ment of smaller transistor technologies. Transistors can also be used in analog applications. Today there are commercial chips with both radio and digital sys- tems in the same package. Cellular Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to ma

In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a

Phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions are vital in regulating nutrient cycles and productivity in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, zooplankton account for the majority of phytoplankton mortality in the ocean. Due to predation pressures, phytoplankton have evolved several defensive traits, many of them being inducible defenses such as toxin production, colony size alterations, swimming behavi

Världen idag är i ett stort behov av att byta ut fossila råvaror mot mer hållbara alternativ. Nya processer behöver utvecklas för att minska våra utsläpp, bland annat tillverkning av icke fossilbaserade plaster. Plasten polyetylenfuranoat (PEF) har visat stor potential som alternativ till PET, och kan tillverkas av 5-hydroymetylfurfural (HMF). HMF kan bland annat framställas från fruktos, vilket kThe demand for plastics is growing due to global population, economic growth and insufficient recycling, where new bio-based feedstocks must be investigated to meet future emission goals. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical that can produce Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) with similar characteristics to fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The HMF can be produced

PLC-system (Programmable Logic Controller) är robusta realtidssystem som används för att styra fysiska processer i krävande miljöer. Moderna PLC-system är väldigt kapabla, men skulle systemet mot förmodan gå på knä, kan man alltid installera ännu ett PLC-system i mån av plats. En lyx som inte finns ombord på ubåtar, där man istället behöver hushålla med befintliga system. Med hjälp av två matematiThis master’s thesis is commissioned by SAAB Group with the purpose of developing a model which can be used to estimate the margin for expansion of devices in PLC systems. Although commercial PLC systems are hard real-time systems, they have inherited unpredictable characteristics due to off-the-shelves components. This makes it difficult to measure the impact on performance when a new device is c

A variety of demand side management (DSM) methods are needed to ensure electric grid reliability and to integrate increasing shares of renewable energy sources into electricity networks. To investigate whether communal laundry rooms in Stockholm represent a good candidate for employing DSM to reduce the severity of electricity load peaks, tenants are surveyed on their willingness to temporarily lo

As novel, anti-amyloid therapies have become more widely available, access to timely and accurate diagnosis has become integral to ensuring optimal treatment of patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma biomarkers are a promising tool for identifying AD pathology; however, several technical and clinical factors need to be considered prior to their implementation in routine clinica
