1. Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in island populations of Rana temporaria
Sammanfattning : Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a genotype to express different phenotypes in different environments. Despite its common occurrence, few have investigated differences in plasticity between populations, the selection pressures responsible for it, and costs and constraints associated with it. LÄS MER
2. Soil salinity as a driver of microbial community structure and functioning
Sammanfattning : Soil salinization is a pressing agricultural problem in many areas of the world, particularly in areas heavily reliant on irrigation agriculture. While the negative effects of salinity on crop plants have been widely studied, its effects on soil microorganisms have received less attention, and the impact of soil salinity on both microbial community structure and functioning is not well understood.

3. Physiology of Industrially Relevant Bacteria: Freeze-drying tolerance of Lactobacillus reuteri and Pseudomonas chlororaphis and product formation of Lactococcus lactis metabolizing maltose
Sammanfattning : When the metabolic activity of bacteria is exploited by the food and biotechnology industries, freeze-drying is commonly used to produce concentrated bacterial cultures with enhanced storage stability. The freeze-drying tolerance of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri and the biocontrol agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis has been characterized in this work. LÄS MER
4. The open absorption system : energy savings in different applications
Sammanfattning : The open absorption system is a technique that makes it possible to recover energy in different processes using moist air. In most applications the latent heat in moist air is difficult to recover because of the low temperature. Processes using outdoor air to carry away moisture therefore have high energy demands.

5. Paleoclimate and seasonality on Sumatra during the Late Glacial and Holocene : Insights from biomarkers and climate model simulations
Sammanfattning : Deep atmospheric convection in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) is a key driver of the Hadley and Walker Circulations that modulate the Asian-Australian monsoons and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Temperature and rainfall seasonality, i.e. LÄS MER
