Impacts of recreational boating in coastal seascapes and implications for management
(2018-04-12)Kosterhavet National Park, a marine protected area on the Swedish west coast, is a popular destination for tourists and attracts over half a million visitors annually. Many of the tourists arrive by boat, and the natural ... -
Big data insights into the distribution and evolution of tropical diversity
(2018-04-06)Tropical America (the Neotropics) and tropical Africa have comparable climate and share a geological history as parts of Gondwana. Nevertheless, the Neotropics today harbour roughly three times more flowering plant species ... -
Structural Features of Bacteriophytochromes. Photoactivated Proteins studied by Serial Femtosecond Crystallography
(2018-03-22)The key to life on earth is sunlight, which reaches the planet as an energy source. Nature has evolved different types of photoreceptor proteins to detect optimal light conditions for biochemical processes. A type of red ... -
Bivalves in the face of ocean acidification
(2018-03-22)Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are leading to a gradual decrease in ocean pH and changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Such changes in oceanic environmental conditions will ... -
Selectivity in the chlorate process: Hydrogen evolution and hypochlorite reduction on deposited chromium oxide/hydroxide
(2018-02-22)Abstract Production of chlorate is dependent of using sodium dichromate as a component in the electrolyte. Dichromate provides selectivity by forming a Cr(III) oxide-like film on the cathodes. Without dichromate, unwanted ... -
Effect of Microwaves on Microtubule Structure and Function probed by Light and X-ray Scattering
(2018-02-15)We are constantly exposed to radiation in some form or another from our environment. High frequency electromagnetic radiation, including ultraviolet light and X-rays, cause damage to living organisms due to ionization ... -
Shared Platform Evolution: An Imbrication Analysis of Coopetition and Architecture
(2018-02-13)Shared platforms are a stable foundation for the integration of digital components by heterogeneous actors. These platforms are an emergent organizational form whose members seek interoperability of their IT systems through ... -
Alkali Metals and Tar in Biomass Thermochemical Conversion: Development and Application of Online Measurement Techniques
(2018-02-08)Biomass is a renewable resource that can substitute the fossil-based products we depend on today. However, the conversion techniques require further improvement in order to be competitive with the traditional industry. One ... -
A Soot Transformation Study: Interactions Between Soot, Sulfuric Acid and Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA)
(2018-01-19)Atmospheric black carbon (BC), generally called soot, is the most important aerosol component that warms the Earth’s climate significantly, and reducing atmospheric soot level has been proposed as a strategy for near-term ... -
Atmospheric oxidation: Formation and aging of biogenic and traffic-related secondary aerosols
(2018-01-11)Atmospheric aerosol particles affect the quality of life by influencing climate and by being a significant component of air pollution. Once a particle is released into or formed in the atmosphere, several processes begin ... -
Development of Electrochemical Biosensors for Neurochemical Applications
(2018-01-04)The brain consists of billions of cells, including nerve cells, which have the ability of transforming an incoming electrical signal in to a chemical output by the release of neurotransmitters through a process called ... -
Seagrass Wasting Disease Impact of abiotic factors and chemical defense
(2017-12-04)Eelgrass, Zostera marina, is the dominant seagrass species in the northern hemisphere, and forms large meadows that provide several important ecosystem services. In the 1930s about 90% of the Z. marina populations in the ... -
Tree rings and climate in Scandinavia and Southern Patagonia
(2017-11-30)The present knowledge of temperature variability during the past millennium has been greatly improved due to an increasing availability of reconstructions made based on paleoclimate proxies, such as tree-rings. These ... -
Wooden objects in historic buildings: Effects of dynamic relative humidity and temperature
(2017-11-24)Cultural heritage objects and interiors are found not only in museums but also in historic buildings, often with less climate control. The indoor environment in such buildings may be colder and more humid, and can fluctuate. ... -
Interpretations of old wood. Figuring mid-twelfth century church architecture in west Sweden
(2017-11-23)This thesis explores mid-twelfth century church architectures in west Sweden. The architectures are investigated in the light of a case, five parish churches’ naves, in particular their attics and surviving mid-twelfth ... -
Psychological group processes when building agile software development teams
(2017-11-16)Background: With the agile approach to managing software development projects, comes an increased dependability on well functioning teams. Agile teams are profoundly influenced by social-psychological factors since more ... -
From Sea to Society - Climate Change, Microbial Community Interactions and Assessing Climate Risk on Society
(2017-11-11)Unicellular organisms, microalgae and bacteria, less than one millimeter in size make the world go round. Phytoplankton and cyanobacteria, for example, plays an inevitable role contributing 50-85% to the world’s oxygen ... -
