Dispersal of Microalgae- the role of Biological and Physical Barriers
(2015-09-04)Microalgae are only a few micrometres to a millimetre in size, yet they constitute the base for aquatic food webs and are extremely important drivers in elemental cycling. Long it has been assumed that small organisms (<1 ... -
Digital Innovation: Orchestrating Network Activities
(2015-09-04)Digitization of analogue everyday artifacts, i.e. when physical products are equipped with digital capabilities, has a profound impact on today’s society. Some examples of these digital innovations aimed at consumer markets ... -
Carbonaceous Aerosol in Europe - out of the woods and into the blue?
(2015-09-03)Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere influences weather and climate and may have important health impacts. Regional scale chemical transport modelling aims to describe the composition of particulate matter, to track ... -
Calibration of medical displays
(2015-09-02)Calibration of medical displays is important in order for images to be displayed consistently. A consistent appearance ensures that all images are always perceived in the same way regardless of display device, location and ... -
Colour signalling in widowbirds and bishops
(2015-08-28)Sexual selection, i.e. differential mating success due to contest competition or mate choice, has produced an amazing diversity of elaborate sexual signals across the animal kingdom, not least the dazzling colours of birds. ... -

Handbok i kallmurning
(Hantverkslaboratoriet, Göteborgs universitet, 2015-08)En skrift som förklarar hur några olika kallmurade konstruktioner fungerar liksom vanliga hantverksmoment som är kopplade till dem. Det är en handbok för den som arbetar med kallmurade naturstenskonstruktioner, både ... -
Business Intelligence Utilisation through Bootstrapping and Adaptation
(2015-06-26)Business Intelligence (BI) has traditionally been viewed as a technology-driven, rational process, which would lead to better decision-making in organisations. Fact-based decisions are expected to reduce costs and increase ... -
A two-stage numerical procedure for an inverse scattering problem
(Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, 2015)In this thesis we study a numerical procedure for the solution of the inverse problem of reconstructing location, shape and material properties (in particular refractive indices) of scatterers located in a known ... -
Tjära på trätak
(2015-05)Produktionen av tjära i Sverige har under 1900-talet i princip helt upphört. Det har lett till ett stort kunskapsbortfall inom området. I boken presenteras tillverkningsmetoder för tjära, tjärans materialkarakteristik och ... -
Summer Climate Variability during the Past 1200 Years in Central Scandinavia – A Tree-Ring Perspective
(2015-05-22)To set the current 20th century warming in a long-term context, significant efforts have been made to reconstruct hemispheric-to-global temperatures beyond the instrumental period. Tree-rings, which have annual resolution ... -
The influence of atmospheric circulation and meteorology on urban air pollution and pollen exposure
(2015-05-18)Urban air quality is a global health concern and is a growing problem due to large migration of people from rural areas to cities, a phenomenon occurring in many parts of the world. This means that more and more people can ... -
Biomarkers for assessing benthic pollution impacts in a subtropical estuary, Mozambique
(2015-05-11)This thesis focuses on the marine environment in a subtropical estuary and particularly on exploring a suite of easy-to-use, cost effective and environmentally valid biological response tools (biomarkers). The main driving ... -
Topics in convex and mixed binary linear optimization
(2015-05-08)This thesis concerns theory, algorithms, and applications for two problem classes within the realm of mathematical optimization; convex optimization and mixed binary linear optimization. To the thesis is appended five ... -
Spin Torque and Spin Hall Nano-Oscillators with Single Magnetic Layers
(2015-05-07)Spin-torque oscillators (STOs) are capable of producing tunable broadband high-frequency signals within a nanometer-sized region. In this thesis, novel designs for STOs will be discussed; the common theme of these designs ... -
Nanoparticles from shipping and road traffic
(2015-05-07)In the urban environment road traffic is the dominant source of aerosol particles while in coastal and harbour areas shipping is also a significant source. For shipping there are no direct regulations regarding particle ... -
Energy Efficiency in Winter Road Maintenance - A Road Climatological Perspective
(2015-05-07)Practices in winter road maintenance are dependent on the climate and weather impacting roads and the road users’ requirements. As in many other fields of transportation, it is of interest to investigate fuel efficiency ... -
Mathematical Reasoning - In physics and real-life context
(2015-05-05)This thesis is a compilation of four papers in which mathematical reasoning is examined in various contexts, in which mathematics is an integral part. It is known from previous studies that a focus on rote learning and ... -
Next-generation Molecular Systematics and Evolution: insights into Medicago
(2015-04-29)Evolutionary relationships among species have in recent years been inferred using DNA sequences from specific genes and represented by tree diagrams (phylogenies). However, the signal contained in different genes can produce ... -
Patterns of evolution in a young species, the Baltic seaweed Fucus radicans
(2015-04-29)To be able to interpret patterns of biodiversity it is important to understand the processes by which new species evolve and how closely related species remain reproductively isolated and ecologically differentiated. This ...
