21. Molecular and functional studies on human embryo implantation : targets for infertility and fertility regulation
Sammanfattning : Background: An estimated one in four couples globally suffers from infertility or fertility related issues and rate of global infertility is about 10-15%. Despite the best optimization of assisted reproductive technique the pregnancy rate is not more than 30%. LÄS MER
22. Overcoming inertia to sustainable stormwater management practice
Sammanfattning : In Sweden, there is a growing receptivity for change to more sustainable stormwater practices using green infrastructure approaches. Unlike piped drainage systems they can have multiple benefits in use including flood control, pollutant removal and can add to the quality of urban space supporting green infrastructure through irrigation and providing cooling and an additional water source for supply.

23. Oblique waves in boundary layer transition
Sammanfattning : Traditional research on laminar-turbulent transition has focused on scenarios that are caused by the exponential growth of eigensolutions to the linearized disturbance equations, e.g. two-dimensional Tollmien-Schlichting waves. LÄS MER
24. An experimental investigation of disturbance growth in boundary layer flows
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the early stages of transition to turbulence in two different baseflows, namely the Falkner-Skan-Cooke boundary layer (FSC) and the asymptotic suction boundary layer (ASBL). Grid-generated turbulence is studied in order to characterise the isotropy levels, free-stream turbulence levels and characteristic length scales that will be present in the receptivity study.

25. Male and female selective mechanisms, reproductive success and gene flow
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I have studied male and female selective mechanisms that can affect plant reproductive success and gene flow. I have focussed on sexually selected traits, mainly pollen competition and maternal sorting mechanisms, for example through non-random ovule abortion. LÄS MER
