4. 3. Urban Snowmelt Processes: Modelling and Observation

   Författare :Annette Semadeni Davies; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeology; energy; runoff; snow properties; heterogeneity; hydrological modelling; Urbanisation; snowmelt; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

   Sammanfattning : In northern Scandinavia and other cold regions, urban drainage systems are often unable to cope with the high volumes of melt water which can be sustained for several weeks. High waste water treatment plant inflows, combined system overflows and low water quality are a few problems associated with snowmelt. LÄS MER

5. 4. Effects of farmland heterogeneity at multiple spatial and temporal scales on house sparrow (Passer domesticus) population ecology

   Författare :Maria von Post; Biodiversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Farmland heterogeneity; house sparrow; agricultural intensification; farm specialisation; landscape complementation; resource separation; population limitation;

   Sammanfattning : Strong declines of European farmland birds in recent decades are assumed to be caused by decreased food availability resulting from agricultural intensification and concomitant loss of farmland heterogeneity. One of the species suffering particularly strong declines in NW European countries is the house sparrow. LÄS MER

7. 5. Essays on Labor Supply and Poverty: A microeconometric application

   Författare :Nizamul Islam; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Labor Supply; State Dependence; Unobserved Heterogeneity; Poverty persistency;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers in applied micro econometrics. The first paper evaluates the discrete choice labor supply Model by Monte Carlo experiment. The 2nd paper investigates the relationships between participation decisions and both the fertility decision and women's non-labor income. LÄS MER
