In ubiquitous computing, as more and more devices are embedded into the environment, there is a risk that the user loses the understanding of the system. In normal use this is not always a problem, but when breakdowns occur it is crucial that the user understands the system to be able to handle the situation. The concept of palpable computing, introduced by the PalCom project, denotes systems whic
P>1. Ants show complex interactions with plants, both facultative and mutualistic, ranging from grazers through seed predators and dispersers to herders of some herbivores and guards against others. But ants are rarely pollinators, and their visits to flowers may be detrimental to plant fitness. 2. Plants therefore have various strategies to control ant distributions, and restrict them to foliage

Despite this, there is no clinically based classification of pruritic diseases to assist in the diagnosis and cost-effective medical care of patients with pruritus.

Harbour seals are active at night and during the day and see well in both air and water. Polarised light, which is a well-known visual cue for orientation, navigation and foraging, is richly available in harbour seal habitats, both above and below the water surface. We hypothesised that an ability to detect and use polarised light could be valuable for seals, and thus tested if they are able to se

Upphovsrätter ger upphov till både ekonomiska och ideella rättigheter. Den ideella rätten bygger på en tanke om att upphovsmän har ett starkt personligt intresse och en koppling till sina verk. Samma tanke ligger bakom det överlåtelseförbud som finns i 28 § lag (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL). Förbudet gör det otillåtet för en förvärvare av en upphovsrätt att öCopyright is composed of two rights, the economic and moral rights. The moral rights are built on the thoughts that the creator of the copyright has a strong personal interest and a connection to its creation. It is the same thoughts that are behind the transfer prohibition in 28 § lag (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL). The prohibition makes it illicit for the as

Despite the fact that development must be, primarily, autonomous, i.e. which cannot be imposed, but rather must come from wit

En av konsekvenserna av klimatförändringen är en ökning av extrema regn.

Huvudsyftet med denna avhandling är att stötta de som jobbar med koOne of the realized consequences of climate change is a shift in precipitation patterns and an increase in extreme rainfall events.
