Popular Abstract in Swedish Med hackspettsögon: att förstå habitatval, revirkvalitet och reproduktionsbeslut utifrån individers beteende Min doktorsavhandling bygger både på teoretiska modeller och på fältstudier av mindre hackspett (Dendrocopos minor). För att slippa språkliga krumbukter eller tvetydigheter kommer jag hädanefter att kalla arten "småspett" i denna sammanfattning. Fältstudierna gjIn this thesis I present some connections between foraging behaviour and reproductive success, time budget, tree species use, and habitat selection. The thesis is based upon both theoretical and empirical work. All empirical studies concern a south Swedish population of lesser spotted woodpeckers Dendrocopos minor, studied between 1990 and 1996. The foraging behaviour of the lesser spotted woodpe

Swedish researchers with specific interests in European Market law – IPR, competition and marketing law – join forces to review recent Swedish legislative enactments and case-law developments of particular European interest in national Swedish Courts or the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”). This volume also includes comments on general EU developments from a Swedish perspective.

The Wall Shear Rate (WSR) represents an important parameter correlated with cardiovascular diseases, like, for example the atherosclerotic plaque formation. The WSR can be obtained as the radial blood velocity gradient assessed in the wall proximity. The WSR is typically approximated by using flow models like Poiseuille and/or Womersley applied to the measured center-line velocity. However these m

The lichenized ascomycete genus Xanthoria (Fr.) Th.Fr. (Teloschistaceae) in continental United States and Canada is revised. The following 15 species are recognized: Xanthoria borealis, X. candelaria, X. concinna, X. elegans, X. fallax, X. fulva, X. hasseana, X. mendozae, X. montana, X. oregana, X. parietina, X. polycarpa, X. sorediata, X. tenax, and X. ulophyllodes. The morphology, anatomy, secon

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be seen as graphene sheets rolled to form cylinders. CNTs may be categorised as single- (SWCNT) or multi-walled (MWCNT). Due to the small size, the number of particles as well as the surface area per mass unit is extremely high. CNTs are highly diverse, differing with respect to e.g., diameter, length, chiral angles, chemical functionalisation, purity, stiffness and bul

The global company operates from a number of locations worldwide, which entails geographical distances and logistical implications for product and parts transported, as well as the choice of product variety because of numerable worldwide consumer preferences. In these companies, packaging becomes a frequently used object to complement product features and achieve an effective and efficient means o

In their natural habitats, bacteria and plants can be exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt concentrations and freezing, which are factors limiting their capacity for growth and proliferation. To withstand environmental stresses, they have evolved specific stress responses. These responses include physiological adaptations, alterations in gene expression and production of protecti
