1. 21. Celestial Orientation in Dim Light

   Författare :Marie Dacke; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polarisation pattern; moon; polrised light detection; twilight; dim light; dung beetle; Zoologi; spider; vision; orientation; Zoology;

   Sammanfattning : The polarization pattern of skylight offers many animals a reference for visual compass orientation. In those cases when this optical compass is identified, the receptors involved are often confined to a small part of an eye built predominantly for other visual tasks. LÄS MER

3. 22. Visually guided swimming in box jellyfish: A study of swimming behaviour in response to visual stimuli

   Författare :Ronald Petie; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vision; steering; swimming; behaviour; box jellyfish; Cubozoa; Tripedalia cystophora; biomechanics;

   Sammanfattning : Most animals use eyes to guide their behaviour. Analysing, and understanding, visually guided behaviours gets more complicated the more advanced the animal gets. Box jellyfish provide a relatively simple system for understanding visually guided behaviours. LÄS MER

4. 23. Statistical methods in single particle fluorescence microscopy

   Författare :Magnus Röding; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; absolute number concentration; Brownian motion; diffusion; fluorescence microscopy; image analysis; image processing; nanoparticle characterization; particle tracking; Smoluchowski process; nanoparticle characterization;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is stochastic modeling and statistical inference in single particle fluorescence microscopy related to the experimental observation of randomly moving particles. A central theme is the use of single particle microscopy for estimation of absolute concentration of nanoparticles performing Brownian motion. LÄS MER

5. 24. Digital holography and image processing methods for applications in biophysics

   Författare :Hanqing Zhang; Magnus Andersson; Krister Wiklund; Wählby Carolina; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Digital holographic microscopy; image processing; image reconstruction; bacterial adhesion; cell morphology; algorithm development; software design; quantitative measurement; microfluidics; multidisciplinary research; signalbehandling; Signal Processing; teknisk fysik med inriktningen mikrosystemteknik; engineering science with specialization in microsystems technology;

   Sammanfattning : Understanding dynamic mechanisms, morphology and behavior of bacteria are important to develop new therapeutics to cure diseases. For example, bacterial adhesion mechanisms are prerequisites for initiation of infections and for several bacterial strains this adhesion process is mediated by adhesive surface organelles, also known as fimbriae.

7. 25. Fish Lenses : Anatomy and Optics

   Författare :Tomasz M Kozłowski; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasticity; Development; Cellular structure; Lens fiber cells; Modeling; Laser Scanning; Schlieren photography; Fast Fourier Transform FFT ;

   Sammanfattning : I have investigated some of the biological regulatory mechanisms governing the development of crystalline lenses. I used fish as model animals because they possess optically interesting lenses, while the geometrical simplicity of fish lenses allows for studies that are difficult or impossible with the lenses of other animals.
