Genom osteohistologiska analyser kan stora mängder information erhållas. Förutom möjligheten att uppskatta åldern och mognadsgraden hos ett djur kan tillväxtsmärken i skelettet, så kallade ’growth marks’ eller GM, också innehålla information om benens tillväxtshastighet, djurets tillväxtstrategi och till och med levnadssätt. Denna studie avhandlar histologin hos fossiliserade ben tillhörande en haOsteo-histology provides information on age, growth strategies, and lifestyles of both recent and ancient animals. This study deals with the histology of fossilized bone from three groups of tetrapods – sea turtles, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs – all secondarily adapted to marine life, but with rather different bone microstructures. As a result of extensive vascularization (i.e. osteoporosis), ich

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förebyggande miljöskyddslösningar har under flera år tillämpats med stor framgång i den tillverkande industrin. Den har dock används i mycket i liten omfattning i service sektorn. I takt med att tjänstesektorns ekonomiska betydelse ökat, har även miljöaspekten av ett ökat tjänsteutbud kommit i fokus. Denna avhandling förklarar hur förebyggande miljöskydd som ett strategPreventative environmental approaches (e.g. Cleaner Production and Pollution Prevention) have been successfully implemented in the manufacturing industry. They are, however, far from being fully adopted by all society actors. It has, for instance, not been fully embraced by the service sector. When this research project started, the initial question was whether it was possible to adopt experiences

A novel constitutive framework suitable for material interfaces undergoing large deformations in a geometrically exact setting was developed in Ottosen et al. (2016). In contrast to previous works, it permits the description of arbitrary material anisotropies by fulfilling all fundamental balance laws in physics as well as the principle of material objectivity. This paper deals with an efficient f

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion lacksdirect ignition timing control, instead the auto ignition depends on the operatingcondition. Since auto ignition of a homogeneous mixture is very sensitive tooperating condition a fast combustion timing control is necessary for reliableoperation, the ignition timing control design requiring appropriate modelsand system output variables

In terms of EU-accession, the seven countries that used to constitute the republic of Yugoslavia have developed very differently. While Slovenia was one of the countries absorbed during the EU:s eastward expansion of 2004 the other states have struggled in their EU-accession, Croatia being the only state to obtain full membership besides Slovenia. The purpose of this study is to shed a light on th

This thesis explores some of the possibilities of demand side optimization in online advertising, specifically how to evaluate and bid optimally in real time bidding. Theory for many types of optimizations is discussed. The thesis evaluates auctions from a game theory and control theory perspective. It also discusses how big data sets can be used in real time, and how agents can explore unknown st

Uppsatsen undersöker möjligheten att registrera ordmärken och analyserar i synnerhet vilka ordmärken som kan registreras med endast ursprunglig särskiljningsförmåga och vilka ordmärken som kräver förvärvad särskiljningsförmåga för att få registreras. Uppsatsen klarlägger därutöver hur möjligheten att förvärva särskiljningsförmåga förhåller sig frihållningsbehovet. Av praxis framgår att suggestiva This thesis examines the possibility of registering trademarks and it in particular analyzes which trademarks can be registered with only original distinctive character and which trademarks require acquired distinctive character in order to be registered. In addition, the thesis examines how the possibility of acquiring distinctive character relates to the requirement of availability. It is eviden

The Safe Driving Test (SDT) is a software test performed in a real vehicle where the software is flashed to an ECU and connected to the CAN network in the vehicle. The test driver then conducts different driving scenarios according to the test instructions of the SDT. All the data during testing is logged and then evaluated manually by a test engineer. The entire process including testing, evaluat

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the micro mechanical damage and the failure of paperboard during sharp edge cutting. Tetra Pak is at the very forefront of the food packaging industry and in order to keep this market position, continuous improvements are of great importance. Increased understanding of paperboard behaviour is a driving factor for these improvements, since it enables more ac

En hel del har skrivits om reklamationsplikten vid avtalsbrott. Trots det är rättsläget fortfarande oklart. Reklamationsplikten vid avtalsbrott är dock enbart en del av den inomkontraktuella reklamationsplikten. Högsta domstolen har under senare tid avgjort ett antal mål där en passivitetsprincip skapat en reklamationsplikt trots att det inte förelegat ett avtalsbrott. Högsta domstolen har i KravmA lot has been published about the obligation to notify the breaching party of a breach of contract. Despite that, the legal position is still unclear. The obligation to notify a breaching party of a breach of contract is just one element of the requirement to notify a party in a contractual relationship. The Supreme Court has delivered judgment in several cases in which a passivity principle crea

This study had the aim to approach the question of how the different traits in OCEAN get affected by norms more specifically normative belief, motivation to comply and identification with the referent as described in the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The method of choice was a digital survey, constructed as a modified IPIP, which was divided by self-estimation, descriptive normative belief, injunct

When designing compensation payments for biodiversity conservation measures setting appropriate incentives so that landowners select spatially connected land parcels for conservation is of key importance for many species. The proposition of an agglomeration bonus, where landowners receive a homogeneous payment and a bonus on top if the spatial allocation of conserved land benefits biodiversity, ha

Equity is an important policy objective in the health care field. The importance of equity in health care provision can be argued from various points of view. As a result governments in all countries attempt to provide health care systems that enable equal access for everyone. Zambia is no exception. In the health care reforms the objective of the national health strategy is to provide Zambians wi

Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of primary charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV have been measured by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC. The data are presented for central and peripheral collisions, corresponding to 0-5% and 70-80% of the hadronic Pb-Pb cross section. The measured charged particle spectra in |eta| < 0.8 and 0.3 < p(T) < 20 GeV/c are compared to the

Around 1800 and thereafter there was a rising consumption of books and other print material in Sweden. Almanacs, handbooks and fiction, especially for women, children’s books, ABC- and conversation cards and other prints such as, games, pictures for cutting and music was advertised in newspapers and booksellers catalogues. In this text the production and commercialisation of these products is look

The word “desertification” was introduced in 1949 by the French scientist Aubreville in his report “Climats, forêts et désertification de l´Afrique tropicale”. The concept, however, was discussed earlier by European and American scientists in terms of increased sand movements, desiccation, desert and Sahara encroachment and man made deserts. Desertification, at the beginning of last century, mea

Flow cytometric DNA measurements yield the amount of DNA for each of a large number of cells. A DNA histogram normally consists of a mixture of one or more constellations of G0/G1-, S-, G2/M-phase cells, together with internal standards, debris, background noise, and one or more populations of clumped cells. We have modelled typical DNA histograms as a mixed distribution with Gaussian densities fo
