Water Condensation and Freezing in the Atmosphere: Exploring Deliquescence and Ice Nucleation
(2021-11-25)Atmospheric aerosols play key roles in numerous atmospheric processes. They affect human health, are substrates and components for atmospheric chemistry, and via their contribution to clouds affect the water cycle and the ... -
What makes Elysia viridis tick? Fitness consequences of diet selection and kleptoplasty.
(2013-09-02)Understanding the mechanisms involved in resource use by an organism is pivotal to understanding its ecology. A conspecific population that as a whole demonstrates a generalist pattern of resource use may in fact consist ... -
When the Rubber Meets the Road -Ecotoxicological Hazard and Risk Assessment of Tire Wear Particles
(2008-09-18)Large amounts of rubber particles are dispersed into the environment due to tire wear. The rubber contains a wide range of chemicals, including several of environmental concern. The purpose of this thesis, which is based ... -
Winter Road Conditions and Traffic Accidents in Sweden and UK - Present and Future Climate Scenarios
(2010-02-04)This thesis investigates the distribution of slippery roads in Sweden and the UK for the present climate and how this may be affected by climate change for the rest of the century. It also addresses future scenarios for ... -
Wood-living beetle diversity and Swedish forest management
(2022-08-29)Humans have impacted Fennoscandian forests for thousands of years, through grazing, burning, and since the industrial revolution increasingly through efficient industrial forestry. These impacts have changed the composition ... -
Wooden objects in historic buildings: Effects of dynamic relative humidity and temperature
(2017-11-24)Cultural heritage objects and interiors are found not only in museums but also in historic buildings, often with less climate control. The indoor environment in such buildings may be colder and more humid, and can fluctuate. ... -
Wounding- and pathogen-induced defense responses in plants
(2013-05-08)Microbial pathogens and herbivores that cause disease or inflict damage to plants are ubiquitous in nature. To withstand and counteract invasions by these, plants have evolved several overlapping layers of defense. ... -
X-ray free-electron laser based methods for structural and ultrafast dynamics studies of a photosynthetic reaction centre
(2014-11-14)Life on earth is fuelled by the energy of sunlight, which must first be captured and converted into a chemical energy form useful to the cell. This process is known as photosynthesis and the major pathway of this energy ...
