Sustainable forest management requires accurate and up-to-date baseline data regarding forest structural parameters and the definition of forest stand units. A crucial component in stand characterization is the identification of tree species and to correctly define the stand boundaries. The most common procedure used for this is land cover classification using remote sensing data. However, when cl
PURPOSE: To assess whether higher plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is associated with improved outcomes in colon cancer and whether circulating inflammatory cytokines mediate such association.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Plasma samples were collected from 1,437 patients with stage III colon cancer enrolled in a phase III randomized clinical trial (CALGB/SWOG 80702) from 2010 to 2015, who were followed
District heating and cooling is a simple but powerful technology that could contribute to decarbonising Europe's heating and cooling supply. However, its current overall penetration is minor. Furthermore, future systems could adopt different configurations with various settings of temperature levels or production location. This thesis has aimed to improve existing tools to evaluate district heatin
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) represent a concern for the environment and human health due to their persistence and toxicity. Exposure in Slovenia is geographically differentiated because the country, as part of former Yugoslavia, has a history of industry and regional contamination and is – at the same time – known for its clean nature. The PCB pollution of the Krupa River drew the public'
The presence of conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) in the tumor correlates with positive treatment outcome. The ability to cross-present neoantigens and prime protective CD8+ T-cell responses, makes cDC1s central for tumor immunity. However, in tumors cDC1 are rare and often functionally impaired. Our group reported that overexpression of the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8 and BATF3 (PIB
Forest steppes are dynamic ecosystems, highly susceptible to changes in climate, disturbances and land use. Here we examine the Holocene history of the European forest steppe ecotone in the lower Danube Plain to better understand its sensitivity to climate fluctuations, fire and human impact, and the timing of its transition into a cultural forest steppe. We used multi-proxy analyses (pollen, n-al
Abstract: Territorial species are unlikely to show extensive movements between breeding seasons. This is especially true for long-lived species, which often have strong pair bonding and can occupy the same territory for years. However, also in such species, individuals may face situations that can lead to a territory shift. Here, we use a comprehensive dataset documenting 40 years of breeding beha
The broad goal of this thesis is to develop a deeper mathematical understanding of the processes at work in the neuronal network of a brain by rigorously examining very fundamental elements of the processes involved. Paper I considers the flow of discrete signals on a graph and Paper II the complexity arising from the interplay of simple units. The concrete probabilistic investigations of such mod
Context. The search for small exoplanets around solar-type stars is limited by stellar physical variability, such as a jittering in the apparent photospheric radial velocity. While chromospheric variability has been aptly studied, challenges remain for the observation, modeling. and understanding the much smaller fluctuations in photospheric spectral line strengths, shapes, and shifts.

The human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is home to a large community of microorganisms that contribute to human health. Delivering live bacteria to the gut for therapeutic purposes can thus be highly beneficial. However, delivering live biotherapeutic products or probiotic bacteria to the GIT presents challenges because the cells must remain viable during production, storage, and administration. En
IMPORTANCE Treatment trials require sound knowledge on the natural course of disease. OBJECTIVE To assess clinical features, genetic findings, and genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) associated with biallelic sequence variations in the PDE6A gene in preparation for a gene supplementation trial. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This prospective, longitudinal,
Competence in supply chain management (SCM) is a key factor for achieving superior business performance. The top 25 companies identified as having excellent competence in SCM in the annual research reports by AMR Research/Gartner have displayed substantially higher financial results than their competitors. In line with this cognizance, human resources are increasingly viewed as enablers of SCM and
Problem definition: The increasingly informed customer will lead to an even greater demand for expertise and knowledge of marketers. Firms need to find new ways to utilize the informed customer as a co-creator of value by more proficiently analyzing behavior, both online and offline. An uncertainty lies in to which extent the operational standards of KIBS firms translate to their marketing and sal
Sammanfattning Surrogatmoderskap är inte är tillåtet i Sverige och har på senare tid blivit en mycket omdebatterad och högst aktuell fråga. Till följd av förändrade uppfattningar och föreställningar i samhället utreds nu huruvida surrogatmoderskap kan införas som en metod för att avhjälpa ofrivillig barnlöshet. En viktig aspekt på området är att hänsyn måste tas till det blivande barnet. BedömningSummary In Sweden gestational surrogacy is not allowed and has recently become a very controversial and highly topical issue. Due the changing perceptions and beliefs in society, it is now being investigated whether surrogacy can be introduced as a method to overcome involuntary childlessness. An important aspect of consideration must be to the prospective child. In assessing if gestational surrog
What happens when open, informal spaces disappear – and specifically, what happens when these spaces disappear in a city that used to be full of them? My project is rooted in two things. The first is the highly debated ”Amazon Tower” in Friedrichshain, and the polarized urban conditions around it. The second is my love for Berlin. Berlin has always been a city in flux. However, the latest round
Membrane fouling, particularly by soft, deformable particles, is a significant challenge in microfiltration (MF) processes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs. This thesis investigates the formation of filter cake layers by numerically simulating fluid flow through microfluidic membranes designed with random, non-overlapping cylindrical micropillar arrays. The study aims
