On the Use of Ultrasound Phase Data for Arterial Characterization

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar som till exempel åderförkalkning utgör en av världens vanligaste dödsorsaker. I den här avhandlingen har vi utvecklat olika metoder som med hjälp av bildanalys ger värdefull information om kärlväggen i syfte att förbättra kunskapen om artärer och framförallt åderförkalkning. I avhandlingen presenteras fem olika metoder som alla är baserade på biAtherosclerosis is one of the major causes of death in the world. It is an inflammatory disease in the arteries which causes a gradual increase in arterial wall thickness and stiffness. Eventually a plaque could be formed, protruding into the artery and partially occluding the blood flow. Rupture of such a plaque could cause cardiac infarction or stroke. This dissertation revolves around finding b

Mainstreaming Bioenergy Systems: Parameters of Breaking Dependence on Fossil Fuels by 2020

The work has involved a search for insights into the "detail" of the path-dependant nature of a country’s movement away from oil. Three main strands of work have been involved. Firstly, an examination of the implications of a recent Swedish policy announcement that the country will pursue independence from fossil fuels – with particular focus on oil replacement and flow on effects to the bioenergy

Population and Community Dynamics in Variable Environments

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla naturliga djur- eller växt- populationer varierar i tid och rum. Om man exempelvis räknar antalet individer av en viss art som befinner sig på ett visst ställe varje år, finner man att det antalet varierar från år till år. Varje år föds ett antal nya individer samtidigt som vissa dör (här bortser jag från de individer som eventuellt flyttar ut eller in). Antalet inAll natural populations fluctuate in space and time. These fluctuations are a result of internal dynamic processes, and of a variable environment. To understand how and why population fluctuate, one has to understand the nature of the internal demographic processes as well as how a variable environment affects these processes and how they act in concert to generate population fluctuations. This th
