1. Feathers by day, membranes by night - Aerodynamic performance in bird and bat flight
Sammanfattning : The efficiency and performance of a flying animal is directly related to the aerodynamics around its body and flapping wings. Here, I have developed methods for quantifying the wake dynamics around a flying animal. The results are used to estimate the aerodynamic performance of flapping flight. LÄS MER
2. Aerodynamic performance in bat flight
Sammanfattning : Bats are the only mammals capable of flight, and they are the only animal flyers that are mammals. This thesis focuses on the latter of those facts, and investigates how bats fly, from an aerodynamic perspective. LÄS MER
3. Energy flow and metabolic efficiency attributed to brown adipose tissue
Sammanfattning : The large capacity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) to expend energy as heat makes it an interesting potential player in weight regulation and other metabolic conditions. This is of particular interest as it has been recognized that adult humans possess BAT. LÄS MER
4. Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 regulates white, beige and brown adipose tissue
Sammanfattning : Obesity and its associated complications, including Type 2 diabetes, are increasing at an epidemic rate globally. Adipose tissue exerts different functions and is central in energy homeostasis, and it consists of white, beige or brown adipocytes. LÄS MER
5. Four Essays on Technology, Productivity and Environment
Sammanfattning : The main subject of this thesis is the relationship between economic growth and environmental effects when the interaction between firms' behaviour and regulations are taken into account. In the first three papers I discuss different aspects of the relationship between regulations and environmental effects. LÄS MER
