Relationen mellan bytesdjur och rovdjur i forntida ekosystem kan rekonstrueras med hjälp av olika fossil som t.ex. kololiter, det vill säga förstenat mag- och tarminnehåll. Mosasaurier (familjen Mosasauridae) är en grupp marina ödlor med världsvid utbredning under sen krittid. De var generellt opportunistiska i sina födoval, men några arter som specialiserat sig på skalförsedda djur förekommer ockRelationships between prey and predator in ancient ecosystems can be reconstructed by interpreting fossil remains such as kololites (fossilized stomach and intestinal contents). They function as a direct evidence of food ingested and thus provide insights into the diet and digestive system of extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a cosmopolitan group of extinct marine lizards that e

The aim of this thesis is to develop a model which simulates the dynamic atmosphere as well as the implementation of this model with Matlab/Simulink. The dynamic atmosphere contains the characteristics of wind, turbulence, wind gusts and wind shear, which is integrated in a high fidelity flight simulation model where the dynamics of an aircraft in the atmosphere will be simulated. After the descri
