6. Aging Along the Hippocampal Axis : Structure, Function and Whole-brain Connections in Association with Memory
Sammanfattning : Hippocampus-dependent functions display marked reductions in older age, an observation that has led to the extensive study of age effects on hippocampal properties. Even though research indicates that the hippocampus is structurally and functionally heterogeneous along its longitudinal axis, its anterior and posterior regions differentially supporting episodic and spatial memory representations, few studies explicitly consider age effects in relation to axis.

7. Carbon stocks and fluxes in a young Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) plantation in Iceland
Sammanfattning : The understanding of how forests function with respect to carbon (C) balance and its interaction with the climate system is a fundamental question in climate change research. Another important question is how large the sink for CO2 is in northern forests and how it varies with forest type, management, stand age and with external factors, such as climate variability.

8. On Estimation and Prediction in Linear Mixed Models : A new approach to studying equal BLUEs and BLUPs
Sammanfattning : Linear mixed models (LMMs) are widely used to analyze repeated, longitudinal, or clustered data in many disciplines, such as biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, economics, etc. One of the essential components of a linear mixed model is its covariance structure, i.e. LÄS MER
9. Local Polynomial Regression with Application on Lidar Measurements
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the problem of estimating a function or one of its derivatives from a set of measurements, mainly of a bivariate or spatial nature which is so common in environmental applications. In this work particular attention has been on the lidar (light detection and ranging) application which is a versatile technique for measurement of among other things atmospheric trace gases. LÄS MER
10. Effect of Uncertainty of Rock Properties on Radionuclide Transport by Groundwater : Implications for Performance Assessments of the Repository of Spent Nuclear Fuel in Heterogeneous Bedrock
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of the current study is to develop a quantitative understanding of the effects of spatial variability in physical and geochemical properties of crystalline rock on the migration of radionuclides along a single fracture in bedrock. A stochastic model was developed to describe the transport of solutes in fractured rock. LÄS MER
