    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Sexual selection; mutual mate choice; mate competition; sex role reversal; parental investment; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis integrates the fields of sexual selection, parental investment and sex role theory by investigating mutual mate choice and mate competition in the sex role reversed deep snouted pipefish Syngnathus typhle (Pisces: Syngnathidae) through a series of laboratory experiments.

  2. 17. Problems and experiments in cone-beam tomography

    Författare :Jan Eriksson; Stefan Challer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Two-dimensional detectors for cone-beam exposure are now introduced in medical as well as industrial computer tomography. This thesis starts with a review of basic 2D reconstruction algorithms and the first proposal for cone-beam tomography due to Feldkamp et al.Exact reconstruction is possible only if complete projection data are avail­ able.

  3. 18. Experiments and modelling of fracture initiation at impact

    Författare :Ola Wall; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration and acoustic engineering; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Viscoplasticity; Mechanical engineering; Ductile; Brittle; Dynamic; Fracture; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis addresses different questions, each necessary in the understanding of dynamic fracture initiation and crack propagation in steel. Emphasis lays on dynamic crack propagation experiments performed in the ductile to brittle transition region and possible conclusions, that can be drawn from them. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Food choice in fallow deer – experimental studies of selectivity

    Författare :Ulrika Alm Bergvall; Olof Leimar; Frederick D. Provenza; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; behavioural syndrome; neighbour contrast defence; neighbour contrast susceptibility; simultaneous negative contrast; plant secondary compounds; tannins; Ethology and behavioural ecology; Etologi och beteendeekologi; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I experimentally investigate feeding selectivity in fallow deer (Dama dama), with respect to plant secondary compounds, especially tannins, which can decrease the quality of foods. I found that fallow deer avoided foods with higher amounts of tannic acid and Quebracho tannin, even though the deer ate some high-tannin food. LÄS MER

  5. 20. When Employees Leap to Self-Employment

    Författare :Frederik Witte; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; self-employment entry; occupational choice; idea creation; occupation; laboratory experiment; panel data; survival analysis; data mining; model; entrepreneurship;

    Sammanfattning : The dissertation studies the determinants of self-employment entry through an economics of entrepreneurship lens, and examines two sources of data: 7 years of employer--employee matched panel data and a laboratory experiment. The results suggest that employees are more likely to take the leap to self-employment when they have their own business idea, and are employed in occupations with high wage variance. LÄS MER
