2. Process-Aware Defenses for Cyber-Physical Systems
Sammanfattning : The increasing connectivity is exposing safety-critical systems to cyberattacks that can cause real physical damage and jeopardize human lives. With billions of IoT devices added to the Internet every year, the cybersecurity landscape is drastically shifting from IT systems and networks to systems that comprise both cyber and physical components, commonly referred to as cyber-physical systems (CPS).

3. Nitrite ion : its role in vasoregulation and host defenses
Sammanfattning : Nitrite and nitrate are distributed throughout the human body, with especially high levels being present in saliva. Until recently, these anions were considered merely to be inert end-products of the oxidation of endogenous nitric oxide (NO). LÄS MER
4. Exploiting plant defenses to protect conifer seedlings against pine weevils
Sammanfattning : Sweden is one of the top five countries having large planted forest areas, and here the forests are maintained by clear-cut regime, which also promotes the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis), a major threat to Swedish planted coniferous regeneration. Given interest in developing sustainable forest management practices, efficient non-insecticide alternatives are highly demanded to tackle the pine weevil problem. LÄS MER
5. Plant-Herbivore Interactions and Evolutionary Potential of Natural Arabidopsis lyrata Populations
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I combined field, greenhouse and common-garden experiments to examine the ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-herbivore interactions and the genetic architecture of fitness-related traits in the insect-pollinated, self-incompatible, perennial herb Arabidopsis lyrata. More specifically, I examined (1) whether damage to leaves and inflorescences affects plant fitness non-additively, (2) whether trichome production is associated with a cost in terms of reduced tolerance to leaf and inflorescence damage, (3) whether young plant resistance to a specialist insect herbivore varies among populations, and (4) whether the evolution of flowering time, floral display and rosette size is constrained by lack of genetic variation or by genetic correlations among traits.
