MODELING LAND-COVER USING BIO-CLIMATE VARIABLES Vegetation (land-cover) is an inherent part of the climate system (M.-J. Gaillard et al. 2010). Natural, primarily climate-driven, vegetation and ecosystem processes interact with human land-use to determine vegetation patterns, stand structure and their development through time (e.g. Vitousek et al., 1997). The resulting land surface properties feed
Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran

This thesis examines absorptive capacity as a motive for firms to ally in the Swedish life science industry. The examination builds on the relational view wich is an extention of the resource based view and partially transaction cost theory. Based on the assumption that strategic alliances can create values and competitive advantages beyond values a separate firm can create, the relational view op

Popular summary Using Airborne System in Type 2 Diabetes The explosive increase in expansion of diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming a threat to public health which is associated with modern lifestyle, abundant nutrient supply, reduced physical activity, and obesity. It is realized that T2D only develops in insulin-resistance subjects which can start with β-cell dysfun
Popular summary Guld är en ädelmetall som är mycket älskad av människan och har varit eftertraktad under århundraden. Guld har används som betalningsmedel, som värdebeständig tillgång och som smycken. Men guld har även andra egenskaper som kan vara till stor nytta för människan. En av egenskaperna undersöktes i det här projektet. Guld kan nämligen kopplas till en molekyl och på så sätt få egenskapGold is a transition metal that can be use as catalyst in a various reactions, when coordinated to ligands. In this study two dinuclear gold(I) complexes bearing chiral ligands have been synthesized and tested as catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Asymmetric synthesis is also known as enantioselective synthesis and is a very important synthesis method in dru
Carboxylic group functionalized mesoporous silicas (CFMSs) were synthesized using cationic Gemini surfactant (C18-3-1) as structure director and an anionic co-structure directing agents (CSDA). Well ordered mixture of CCP (Fm3തm) and HCP (P63/mmc), and cubic Fd3തm structures were obtained. Non-uniform morphologies were observed. This thesis has been focused on the salt influence on the formation o

Using thematic analysis, the experiences of relationship boundaries have been identified both as fixe
Denna uppsats har ett tvåfaldigt syfte – dels att diskutera grammatikaliseringens teori och de viktigaste teoretiska problem som denna teori adresserar i fråga om språkutvecklingen; dels att försöka applicera den teoretiska del av grammatikali-sering som man kallar för subjektiviseringsprocess (process of subjectivisation) på en del av de moderna ryska adverb som är motiverade av adjektiv, i sin t
New stable particles with fairly low masses could exist if the coupling to the Standard Model is weak, and with suitable parameters they might be possible to produce at the LHC. Here we study a selection of models with the new particles being charged under a new gauge group, either U(1) or SU(N). In the Abelian case there will be radiation of gammavs, which decay back into the SM. In the non-Abeli
Det har genomförts många studier av automatiskt aktiverade attityder mot etniska grupper vars främsta mått bestått av responstid och i huvudsak har dessa studiers ansatser varit att redovisa relativa preferenser för etniska in-grupper framför ut-grupper. Den aktuella studien ansluter sig till den forskning som nyanserar denna bild genom att undersöka huruvida denna relativa preferens innebär en icMany studies have been conducted investigating automatically activated attitudes towards ethnic groups, where the main measure has been reaction time. Mainly, these studies have looked at relative preferences for ethnic in-groups over ethnic out-groups. The present work looks at whether the relative preference is due to disfavoring the out-group, favoring the in group, or a combination of both. In
Using spectra of RR Lyrae stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) a metallicity snapshot from an early epoch in the history of the SMC could possibly be obtained. The SMC, one of our closest neighbours in the Local Group of galaxies, offers the opportunity to study another galaxy close-up. The history of the SMC can be traced using the chemical characteristics of its different generations of sta
