21. Consequences of bushmeat hunting in tropical forests
Sammanfattning : This thesis evaluates the effect of bushmeat hunting in southeastern Nigerian rainforests on: 1) adult tree, seedling, and animal community compositions 2) germination and survival among seedlings in association with competition 3) changes in community composition at multiple trophic levels 4) leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC), leaf mass per area (LMA) and stem specific density (SSD) 5) on human reliance on forest resources and rural people use forest resources. Data for the first four evaluations were obtained from surveys, manipulative experiments in seedling plots and collected leaf samples in three pairs of sites with high (hunted sites) and low (protected sites) hunting pressure but with similar adult tree composition.

22. Language-Based Differential Privacy with Accuracy Estimations and Sensitivity Analyses
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the development of programming frameworks to enforce, by construction, desirable properties of software systems. Particularly, we are interested in enforcing differential privacy -- a mathematical notion of data privacy -- while statically reasoning about the accuracy of computations, along with deriving the sensitivity of arbitrary functions to further strengthen the expressiveness of these systems.

23. Metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies for recombinant production of (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate
Sammanfattning : Metabolic engineering and process engineering are two powerful disciplines to design and improve microbial processes for sustainable production of an extensive number of compounds ranging from chemicals to pharmaceuticals. The aim of this thesis was to synergistically combine these two disciplines to improve the production of a model chemical called (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), which is a medium-value product with a stereocenter and two functional groups.

24. The Treatment of Polymorphism and Modules in a Partial Evaluator
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study aspects of specialisation by partial evaluation and compiler generation. After significant research during the last two decades, there are now powerful specialisers for several programming languages, such as LISP, Scheme, ML, and C. But some features of programming languages are still not handled by specialisers. LÄS MER
25. Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) Systems in Commercial Buildings. Functional Requirements on Systems and Components
Sammanfattning : Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) is considered as an energy efficient solution forair-based cooling and indoor air quality control. Considerable energy savings can beachieved when the airflow rate is continuously adapted to the actual load condition. LÄS MER
