1. Phytoplankton defense mechanisms against grazing : the role of grazing infochemicals
Sammanfattning : Many phytoplankton species have evolved a variety of different defenses to decrease losses from grazing; morphological features, changes in life-history/behavior, and production of toxins. These defenses may be associated with costs. Therefore, some phytoplankton only express the defense when needed, i.e. LÄS MER
2. Borderline psychopathology and the defense mechanism test
Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the present studies has been to develop the Defense Mechanism Test (DM1) for clinical assessment of severe psychopathology with the focus on the concept of Borderline Personality Organization (BPO) according to Kemberg. By relating the DMT and the Structural Interview to each other, the concurrent validity of the concept of Personality Organization (PO) for psychiatric inpatients has been investigated. LÄS MER
3. Stealthy Sensor Attacks on Feedback Systems : Attack Analysis and Detector-based Defense Mechanisms
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we investigate sensor attacks on feedback systems and how anomaly detectors can be used as a defense mechanism. We consider an attacker with access to all sensor measurements and full knowledge about the closed-loop system model. LÄS MER
4. Innate defense mechanisms of the nasal airway
Sammanfattning : Allergic and infectious rhinitis are prevalent conditions that besides a direct morbidity also causes exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The immune mechanisms associated with various forms of rhinitis are not fully understood. LÄS MER
5. Mechanisms behind pH changes by plant roots and shoots caused by elevated concentration of toxic elements
Sammanfattning : Toxic elements are present in polluted water from mines, industrial outlets, storm water etc. Wetland plants take up toxic elements and increase the pH of the medium. In this thesis was investigated how the shoots of submerged plants and roots of emergent plants affected the pH of the surrounding water in the presence of free toxic ions. LÄS MER
