Mate choice and its evolutionary consequences in intertidal snails (Littorina spp.)
(2013-05-06)The ability to recognise potential mates and choose the best possible partner for reproduction is of fundamental importance for most animal species. This thesis presents studies of mate choice in marine snails of the genus ... -
Advances in Holographic Optical Trapping
(2013-05-05)Holographic optical trapping (HOT) is a technique for non-invasive dynamic anipulation of multiple microscopic objects, which has been used for many applications in the life sciences during the past decade. The technique ... -
Confusions in Fungal Systematics
(2013-05-03)The focus of this thesis has been on fungi with corticioid, polyporoid or stipitate stereoid sporocarps in the Agaricomycetes, but included are also two papers which are methodologically oriented. The family Podoscyphaceae, ... -
Embedded Measurement Systems
(2013-04-30)The subject of Embedded Measurement Systems (EMS) is the merging of embedded systems and electrical measurement systems. This indicates that EMSs are hardware-software systems dedicated to measuring one or a few physical ... -
Färgbilden som redskap vid växtkomposition
(Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård, 2013)This licentiate thesis examines and discusses colour images, especially colour schemes, as a tool and method in the study of colour in the garden. The hypothesis is that the colour image is a tool to interpret, analyse, ... -
Evolution of the brown algae Fucus radicans and F. vesiculosus in the Baltic Sea
(2013-04-25)The aim of my thesis was to investigate neutral and adaptive evolution of a lineage of macroalga (Fucus vesiculosus) that entered the Baltic Sea about 6000 years ago, and later gave rise to a new endemic species, F. radicans. ... -
Mutagenesis and transcriptome mapping in oat and characterization of high β-glucan lines
(2013-04-25)Oat (Avena sativa) is a hexaploid crop that is cultivated in Europe, North America, Russia, Australia and northern China. During recent years, oat has seen increased interest due to its potential as a functional food crop. ... -
Structural analyses of immune cell receptor signalling and activation
(2013-04-17)Structural biology is a scientific field where the aim is to observe macromolecules on a atomic level to understand their functions. Often these macromolecules are proteins that make, almost, everything happen within the ... -
Herbivory and biodiversity conservation of the savannah habitats in Akagera National Park, Rwanda
(2013-04-05)Savannahs make up about 20% of the world’s land surface, whereas African savannahs constitute 50% of the land area and have been used as parks to conserve nature and for outdoor recreation. However, conserving biodiversity ... -
Exercising Mathematical Competence: Practising Representation Theory and Representing Mathematical Practice
(2013-04-05)This thesis assembles two papers in mathematics and two papers in mathematics education. In the mathematics part, representation theory is practised. Two Clebsch-Gordan type problems are addressed. The original problem ... -
Results from Two Controlled Experiments on the Effect of Using Requirement Diagrams on the Requirements Comprehension
(University of Gothenburg, 2013-04-02)We carried out a controlled experiment and an external replication to investigate whether the use of requirement diagrams of the SysML (System Modeling Language) helps in the comprehensibility of requirements. The ... -
Breaking the symmetry: creation and transfer of optical activity via total spontaneous resolution and stereoselective reactions
(2013-03-28)The generation of optical activity from achiral or racemic precursors – absolute asymmetric synthesis – is discussed in relation to the origin of biomolecular homochirality but is also often (incorrectly) regarded as ... -
Structural studies of aquporins in human kidney and plant
(2013-03-22)Membrane proteins are key players in our biology and are links between the inside and the outside of the cell, allowing for signal transduction and transport of molecules. Aquaporins are membrane protein channels that allow ... -
Correlated Materials - Models & Methods
(2013-03-12)This thesis encompass a series of studies on methods and models for electron systems with local interactions, relevant for correlated materials. The first study focus on the canonical model for local correlation, the Hubbard ... -
MODEL STUDIES OF FISH EGG AND LARVAL TRANSPORT IN THE KATTEGAT AND THE NORTH ATLANTIC
(2013-03-06)For the early life stages of fish, the dispersal and retention are important factors regarding present and future survivorship, growth and reproduction. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse fish egg and larval ... -
On the formation of small molecules by radiative association
(2013-03-05)This thesis is devoted to the theoretical investigation of radiative association, which is one of the processes contributing to formation of molecules in the interstellar medium. The formation of the CN, SiN, SiP and CO ... -
Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy
(2013-02-22)In hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), the treatment is delivered by few fractions with high doses per fraction. This is in contrast to conventionally fractionated RT where the total dose is delivered in many fractions ... -
Conservation genetics of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia)
(2013-02-21)The cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa is the most important reef-building coral species in the NE Atlantic Ocean. The reef framework creates a complex structural habitat that sustains high species diversity in the deep-sea. ... -
Responses of shallow sediment ecosystems to environmental alterations
(2013-02-14)Shallow-water sediment systems are continuously exposed to a range of anthropogenic stressors, including increased nutrient loading, physical disturbance and toxicants. Superimposed on these local stressors are stressors ... -
Vesicle Transport with Emphasis on Chloroplasts
(2013-02-14)The plants on which we depend for food and oxygen need photosynthesis to prepare their own food. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. Inside chloroplasts is a specialized membrane called the thylakoids in which ...
