The vegetation component in climate models has advanced since the late 1960s from a uniform prescription of surface parameters to plant functional types (PFTs) PFTs are used in global land-surface models to provide parameter values for every model grid cell With a simple photosynthesis model we derive parameters for all site years within the Fluxnet eddy covariance data set We compare the model pa
Under de senaste årtiondena har samhället förändrats och idag är samboförhållandet en vanlig samlevnadsform i både Sverige och Finland. Trots liknande rättskultur, skiljer sig sambors efterlevandeskydd åt i dessa länder. Syftet med denna uppsats är i första hand att, mot bakgrund av sambolagstiftningen i Sverige och Finland, redogöra för likheter och skillnader gällande sambors efterlevandeskydd iIn recent decades, society has changed and today, the cohabitee relationship is a common form of cohabitation in both Sweden and Finland. Despite similar legal culture, the survivor’s protection of cohabitees differs in these countries. The purpose of this essay is firstly, in the light of the legislation for cohabitees in Sweden and Finland, to describe similarities and differences regarding the
Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have since their invention in 1994 become a crucial source for mid-infrared and THz radiation. Mid-infrared QCLs have achieved room temperature operation while THz QCLs have not. As such, simulations are an important tool in order to achieve a THz QCL operational at room temperature. This work uses a simulation package based on a nonequilibrium Green’s function model
The recent European sovereign-debt crisis has made it clear that exposures towards sovereigns contain credit risk. However, according to the Basel framework's standardized approach banks are not required to hold any regulatory capital for highly rated sovereigns. In response, this thesis develops a shadow rating approach model for sovereign probability of default estimation, subsequently deter
Genom att lägga ut verksamhet utomlands hoppas företag på att bli mer konkuranskraftiga då detta kan innebära lägre kostnader, expansionsmöjligheter och tillgång till välutbildad och flexibel personal. Detta benämns som offshoring vilket står i centrum i detta arbete. Offshoring av IT verksamhet är ett aktuellt och växande fenomen i dagens globaliserade värld. Som många andra IT projekt så är det
The thesis argues that systemic banking crises and inequality go hand in hand, with inequality in front. Through showing how factors commonly found to influence banking crises, such as household and business debt levels, asset prices, default ratios, and credit growth (all important in Minsky-type bubbles) theoretically can be attributed to decreasing relative wages of households, and/or concentra
A recombinant Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase, BVMO4 from Dietzia sp. D5 has been previously reported. The enzyme exhibited good thermostability and was active with a wide range of cyclic ketone substrates but catalysed poorly the conversion of cyclohexanone to caprolactone. The present work focuses on protein engineering of BVMO4 to improve the conversion of cyclohexanone. Thus, a structural model
The primary focus of this Master thesis is to study how industrial house building can be implemented during production of rental flats under the terms of public procurement. In order to determine a suitable working process as well as presenting a possible architectonic result of the process, a case study is carried through. A housing projekt is designed on a site i Malmö, where the commisioner is
An archaeological excavation made within contract archaeology almost invariably means that the site is destroyed. This means that the documentation, which can be seen as the site’s remaining archive, is extremely important. In this master’s thesis the written digital documentation from eight excavations made within Swedish contract archaeology between 2000 and 2013 is examined using the technique
Hunnebostrand var under 1900-talet ett av Sveriges främsta stenhuggerisamhällen. Här höggs och bearbetades stenen för att sedan fraktas till platser över hela världen. På 70-talet lades stenhuggeriverksamheten i Hunnebostrand ner, men spåren efter industrin lever kvar i samhället än idag. En viktig plats i Hunnebostrand under stenhuggeriepoken var Udden. Här höggs sten från Norra Högeberg och plaThis project examines the potential design of a visitor center named ”Stenens Hus” in Hunnebostrand, Sweden. The village was a prominent stone quarrying community in the 20th century, and the quarrying industry left its mark on the town even after it was shut down in the 1970s. One important place in Hunnebostrand during this era was Udden, where stone from Norra Högeberg was quarried. The site
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Mössbauerspektra är en metod som används för att bestämma hur ett mineral, eller molekyl, är uppbyggt. Man undersöker ett visst grundämne, inom geologin undersöker man oftast järn. Efter att ha analyserat ett prov i spektrometern kan man få uppgifter om var och hur järnet sitter i mineralet, eller molekylen. Metoden bygger på att man skickar gammastrålning av eThe Mössbauer effect is used in this work to determine the oxidation and site occupation in biotites that have been treated in different pHs. The work also gives an introduction to the theory behind the Mössbauer effect as well as Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is obvious that the pH has a significant role in the oxidation of the biotites, the more acidic the sample the more it will be oxidised. It is
The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext
Pleural and tracheal injuries remain significant problems, and an easy to use, effective pleural or tracheal sealant would be a significant advance. The major challenges are requirements for adherence, high strength and elasticity, dynamic durability, appropriate biodegradability, and lack of cell or systemic toxicity. We designed and evaluated two sealant materials comprised respectively of algin
Människan måste äta för att överleva, och mat handlar också för flertalet människor i världen, då som nu, om att överleva. Maten har därmed en helt avgörande roll i världens samhällen, och genom att kontrollera tillgången på mat kan den mäktige kontrollera en befolkning. Samtidigt kan maten vara en källa till njutning, sällskapsliv och religiösa ritualer. Genom att studera kokböcker och recept är

The accuracy of NOAA AVHRR NDVI maximum value composites can be poor due to interference from several sources, including cloud cover. The objectives of this paper are; 1. to accurately quantify noise in this imagery over Africa using geostatistics, and 2. to test four compositing techniques that may be able to reduce this noise. The nugget of the variogram model is used to compute standardized noi
