Popular Abstract in Swedish Markfosfor och mångfald av växter i svenska gräsmarker – en populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Olika typer av gräsmarkshabitat innehåller en stor och viktig del av mångfalden av växtarter i Skandinavien och i norra Europa. En stor del av arterna är knutna till kulturlandskapet och des's äldre hävdformer. Förändringar i användning och skötsel av gräsmarkerna under detThe semi-natural grassland habitats contain an important part of the plant diversity in Europe. Changes in farming practices have lead to drastic decreases in plant species richness. The aim of the present thesis is to contribute to the knowledge about mechanisms governing the plant species richness in grasslands with emphasis on soil nutrients. Most species rich grasslands are found on soils with

Learning is a highly individual process. Some prefer learning by reading the course material, others learn best by listening to a lecture, whilesome like to learn in a trial-and-error way by themselves in a laboratory assignment. A good learning scheme is individual. A scheme that is good for some persons might not at all be good scheme for someone else. It is important to understand your own pers

The effect of phosphate (P ( i )) concentration on the growth behavior of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113-5D in phosphate-limited batch and chemostat cultures was studied. The range of dilution rates used in the present study was 0.08-0.45 h(-1). The batch growth of yeast cells followed Monod relationship, but growth of the cells in phosphate-limited chemostat showed change in growth kin

Conventionally, the spacing between adjacent elements in an antenna array are set at half-a-wavelength in order to obtain maximum spatial resolution while avoiding spurious sidelobes. However, for antenna arrays that are implemented in a compact manner, the spacing between the adjacent elements can be significantly less than half-a-wavelength. The small spacing between the antennas results in stro

The chemical process industry uses the mixing unit operation for several applications in which a defined degree of homogeneity is desired. The mixing process can be performed under laminar, transitional or turbulent flow conditions and there are several types of equipment available for this purpose; the static mixer being one of them. It is important to optimize the system being used regardless of

The licentiate thesis is based on three papers. The aim of the research is to elucidate and analyze how societal services in practice are made available (or not available) and are utilized (or not utilized) by a group of individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI). The first article is an inventory of Swedish societal support and services that one can apply for after a traumatic SCI. Tw
