Causes and consequences of individual variation in energy turnover rates

Individual energy turnover rates can vary remarkably, even within a species. In this thesis I study the causes and consequences of this pronounced variation and show that individual energy turnover rates can be affected by a large number of factors. I here show that both the early conditions during the incubation period and prenatal levels of the hormone testosterone can have consequences on indiv

Correlations in Finite Fermi Systems - Semiclassics and Shell Structure

This dissertation investigates correlations in finite Fermi systems. The atomic nuclei is the mainly studied system but also other systems, like superconducting metallic grains and cold Fermionic gases are considered. The dissertation comprises of five original papers. Paper I and II investigates the autocorrelation function of the difference between experimental and theoretical nuclear masses.

Measuring the extinction cross section

This paper describes a method to determine the extinction cross section for a very large bandwidth in the microwave region. The method is based on measurements of the radar cross section in the forward direction to calculate the extinction cross section. The method is applicable to samples of arbitrary shape and composition. Coherent background subtraction and time domain gating is used for the fr

Is In re Deuel still the law of the land? The US examination of nonobviousness after KSR v. Teleflex with special emphasis on DNA related inventions

The year 2007 was an extraordinary year for the US Patent System. In a response to far reaching proposals for significant changes in substantive and procedural patent law the House of Representatives adopted the Patent Reform Act in September and the debates were heating up again. Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court turned its attention to patent issues delivering three major patent judgments and gra

Perception verbs revisited

This paper will present some very general descriptions of language-specific conceptualization of visual perception in English and Lithuanian, and will focus on some basic structure-dependent types of meaning of the see and seem type perception verbs in English and Lithuanian. For this purpose, the hierarchical structure of the clause and the typology of perception verb complements proposed by Simo

The Role of Open Space – Spatial Strategies for Integration.

The role of urban open space is multi-faceted. Looking at residential open space you will find that it has specific qualities compared to other types of urban space due to the proximity to home. This paper discusses residential open space as arena for integration, taking this topological property as a starting point. The paper is based on an ongoing study in the Swedish city Landskrona. The study
