This thesis investigates the use of two automated weight window methods for variance reduction of flux in particle transport simulations. The methods are implemented in the Geant4 simulation software. Both methods are based on pre-simulations, using flux or relative error information as input. The methods are intended for use in shielding and instrumental background applications and are tested on
The focus of this work is to investigate and apply the remote sensing method of object-based image analysis (OBIA) for vegetation classification of a permafrost underlain peatland in sub-arctic Sweden, by using aerial imagery of high resolution. Since the northern landscapes are an important source of naturally stored CH4 and CO2, their contribution to the global carbon cycle is a focus in researc
In this work, we consider the problem of estimating the directions of arrival of far-field sources impinging on a sensor array using a computationally efficient approach. A novel adaptive grid selection technique is employed to reduce the dimensionality of the used dictionary matrix. The method further makes use of a SPICE-inspired dictionary to adaptively select an appropriate regularization para
REVEALS-based quantitative reconstruction of Holocene vegetation cover (expressed in plant functional types. PFTs) is used in the LANDCLIM project to assess the effect of human-induced land-cover change on past climate in NW Europe. Using the Czech Quaternary Pollen Database, this case study evaluates the extent to which selection of data and input parameters for the REVEALS model applications wou
Popular Abstract in Swedish En växt är under hela sin livstid utsatt för angrepp från organismer som helt eller delvis försöker äta den. Allt växtmaterial äts faktiskt upp förr eller senare. När växten är död ser nedbrytare till att inget av det kol som växten under sin livstid tagit upp från luften går till spillo. En intressant ekologisk fråga är varför vår värld (i allmänhet) är grön när det fiThis thesis discusses aspects of feeding habits of moose (Alces alces) and their impact on forest development. The development of forage that is available to moose was studied by sampling the amount of edible biomass on pine and birch trees. A strong relationship was found between foliage (and twig) biomass and tree diameter, which corroborates the hypothesis that sapwood area limits the amount of
Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) represent diverse quantum well heterostructures composed of alternating inorganic and organic layers. While 2D HOIPs are nominally periodic in three dimensions for X-ray scattering, the inorganic layers can orient quasi-randomly, leading to rotational stacking disorder (RSD). RSD manifests as poorly resolved, diffuse X-ray scatterin
Land Surface Temperature (LST) plays an important role in energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere. LST is a key variable in many applications, such as land surface modeling. Many satellite-based algorithms have been proposed to retrieve LST, such as Split-Window (SW), dual-angle, and single-channel algorithms. In this study, four satellite-based LST retrieval algorithms, includ
Despite the significant progress in the field of bone tissue engineering, cell-based products have not yet reached the stage of clinical adoption. This is due to the uncertain advantages from the standard-of-care, combined with challenging cost-and regulatory-related issues. Novel therapeutic approaches could be based on exploitation of the intrinsic regenerative capacity of bone tissue, provided
En av behandlingsmetoderna mot tumörer i levern på Lunds Universitetssjukhus är SIRT som står för ”Selective Internal RadioTherapy” det vill säga en intern radioterapeutisk behandling, i detta fall specifikt för levern. Behandlingen är cirka tio år gammal och i Lund har den utförts sedan december 2010. Under våren 2012 behandlades tre patienter med SIRT då de inte kan få sina cancertumörer i leverIntroduction: Cancer treatment is a process with continuous development. The most common treatment, within the field of radiation physics, is external radiation therapy, whereas one of the least common methods is Selective Internal RadioTherapy (SIRT). SIRT is a rather novel method for treating liver carcinoma. Microspheres containing 90Y are infused directly into the liver, via the hepatic artery
14-3-3 proteins comprise a family of highly conserved proteins. 14-3-3 proteins have been found in all organisms examined except for members of the prokaryotic kingdom. 14-3-3s are involved in numerous processes in the cell and they typically bind to phosphorylated motifs in other proteins and regulate their activities. In plants, 14-3-3 proteins are recognized as key regulators of primary metabo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling och tillämpning av laserfragmentationsteknik för visualisering av väteperoxider Laserinducerad fluorescens är en etablerad optisk mätmetod för kemiskt specifik detektion och avbildning med tillämpning inom fysik, kemi och biologi. Tekniken bygger på att molekyler ska absorbera laserljus och sedan spontant sända ut ljus som kan detekteras. Det finns dock mångaThe work presented in this thesis is mainly motivated by the need for an optical diagnostic technique which can be used to visualize hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in its gas phase. Due to the lack of bound electronic states, H2O2 cannot be detected using laser-induced fluorescence based on electronic excitation. Absorption in the ultraviolet leads to photodissociation. Thus a technique called photofrag
The Paris Agreement requests a substantial reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions are currently mainly estimated from bottom-up inventories and process-based models of land and ocean fluxes. Another, complementary approach is based on measurements of the atmospheric GHG concentration in combination with atmospheric inverse modelling to provide the GHG fluxes. For the latter a
A polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) produces electrical energy thanks to the electrochemical reaction carried out inside the cell. During the energy conversion, water molecules are also produced in the cathode side and this can affect the diffusion parameters of the gas diffusion layers (GDLs). The generated water-drops due to the reaction may block the reactant gases and produce material oxida
Members of the myocardin family bind to the transcription factor serum response factor (SRF) and act as coactivators controlling genes of relevance for myogenic differentiation and motile function. Binding of SRF to DNA is mediated by genetic elements called CArG boxes, found often but not exclusively in muscle and growth controlling genes. Studies aimed at defining the full spectrum of these CArG
Precipitation extremes and their underlying causes are important processes to understand to plan appropriate adaptation measures. This paper presents an analysis of the spatiotemporal variability and trend of precipitation extremes in the important source region of the Yellow River and explores the connection to global teleconnection patterns and the 850-mb vector wind. Six indices for precipitati
Recently radiated dinoflagellates Apocalathium aciculiferum (collected in Lake Erken, Sweden), Apocalathium malmogiense (Baltic Sea) and Apocalathium aff. malmogiense (Highway Lake, Antarctica) represent a lineage with an unresolved phylogeny. We determined their phylogenetic relationships using phylotranscriptomics based on 792 amino acid sequences. Our results showed that A. aciculiferum diverge
Hydroacoustic and optical remote sensing have been commonly used to map shallow nearshore benthic features. However, the number, type, scale, and accuracy of the mapping products that can be obtained from the two sensors differ; as such, there can be limited agreement between their mapping products. These differences can be further accentua
