Conservation efforts for the Pied Tamarin in urban Manaus, Brazil One of the Amazons most endangered species is the small New World primate, ´pied tamarin´ (Saguinus bicolor). The species only occurs in the vicinity of the Brazilian Amazonas state capital city Manaus, where greatly scattered and fragmented small patches of highly degraded forest remain. The on-going growth of Manaus urban area hOne of the Amazon´s most endangered species is the small New World primate, ´pied tamarin´ (Saguinus bicolor). The species only occurs in the vicinity of the Brazilian Amazonas state capital city Manaus, where greatly scattered and fragmented small patches of highly degraded forest remain. The on-going growth of Manaus urban area has created habitat fragments where the pied tamarins now try to per

Stochastic dierential equations (SDEs) proved a fundamental mathematical tool to model dynamics subject to randomness and are nowadays a necessary instrument in e.g. nancial mathematics, neuronal modelling, population growth and physiological modelling. In realistic applications SDEs parameters are unknown quantities that have to be estimated from available data. However inference for SDEs is non-

The objective of this thesis is to be used by rescue services in order to gain a deeper understanding regarding drowning and water rescue operations. By compiling research data from previous studies, statistics and opinions from rescue personal as well as experts in the field a basis is provided on which further queries within developing water rescue can be looked into for rescue services. Rescue

Emulsion formation by homogenization is commonly used in food production and research to increase product stability and to design colloidal structures. High-energy methods such as high-pressure homogenizers and rotor–stator mixers are the two most common techniques. However, to what extent does the research community understand the emulsion formation taking place in these devices?

The study develops a panel data framework to highlight the relationship between income inequality and macroeconomic and demographic factors. The macroeconomic variables are selected with regard to previous research and tested for significance. Some proved to be significantly relevant for the final regression and some were excluded. Overall, based on the available data we can show that income inequ

AbstractBackground: Around one fourth of patients with colorectal cancer present themselves with distant metastases at the time of diagnosis, and one additional one fifth of the patients will develop distant metastases during the disease, most commonly in the liver. Surgical treatment such as liver resection or ablation, often combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy, is the only treatment BackgroundAround one fourth of patients with colorectal cancer present themselves with distant metastases at the time of diagnosis, and one additional one fifth of the patients will develop distant metastases during the disease, most commonly in the liver.Surgical treatment such as liver resection or ablation, often combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy, is the only treatment option with

Amphibians are globally among the most endangered taxonomic groups of vertebrates. This is partly due to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, that have led to eradication of more than 90 species of amphibians worldwide. The spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus) is one of the Swedish red listed species (VU) that are at risk of being affecte

Increasing demands for highly sensitive, accurate, fast and portable analytical assays have led to the development of new analytical tools. The integration of highly specific biological sensing elements and appropriate transducers has enabled design of even more efficient biosensor devices for the detection of target substances. In a clinical setting, early detection of biomarkers is crucial for

The multi-electrode electrical resistivity method has become one of the most efficient geophysical methods used in a wide range of applications, which is also suitable when disturbances in the ground are to be avoided. The selection of the right electrode configuration can provide better effectiveness, depending on the target being investigated. In this work a case of the use of three electrode ar

Coreference is a relationship between two or moreexpressions in a text when these expressions referto the same person or thing. Coreference solving,the identification of sets of coreferring mentionsin a text, is a well-studied problem in the fieldof natural language processing (NLP), the com-putational analysis of text. As an example, con-sider this short text:John drove to Judy’s house.He made heIt is said that coreference is difficult to explain, but easy to comprehend; everyoneknows coreference, they just don’t know that they do. We trained a computer toknow it too! Coreference resolution is the identification of phrases that refer to the same entity in a text. Current techniques to solve coreferences use machine-learning algorithms, which require large annotated data sets. Such annota

This thesis examines whether there exists any causal relationship between foreign trade and declining energy intensity in the Netherlands. In other words, does the Netherlands outsource its energy intense industries to less developed countries rather than solve them internally? No significant causal relationships is found between international trade and declining energy intensity, since the Nether
