  1. 1. Hydro-Kinetic Energy Conversion : Resource and Technology

    Författare :Mårten Grabbe; Mats Leijon; Cameron Johnstone; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tidal energy; renewable energy; vertical axis turbine; permanent magnet generator; resource assessment; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : The kinetic energy present in tidal currents and other water courses has long been appreciated as a vast resource of renewable energy. The work presented in this doctoral thesis is devoted to both the characteristics of the hydro-kinetic resource and the technology for energy conversion. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bottom-up and top-down regulation of heterogeneous lake food webs

    Författare :Fernando Chaguaceda; Peter Eklöv; Kristin Scharnweber; Lars Tranvik; Blake Matthews; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; food webs; resource coupling; ontogenetic diet shifts; resource specialization; bottom-up; top-down; browning; eutrophication; lake; mesocosms; fatty acids; apparent competition; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Sammanfattning : Food webs are networks of organisms linked by trophic interactions that regulate the responses of ecosystems to environmental change. Such regulation is a result of the effects of resources on the abundance of their consumers (i.e. bottom-up effects) and/or the influence of consumers on the abundance of their resources (i. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Marine Current Resource Assessment : Measurements and Characterization

    Författare :Nicole Carpman; Karin Thomas; Mats Leijon; Sandra Eriksson; Mairead Atcheson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ADCP; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing interest in converting energy from renewable resources into electricity has led to an increase in research covering the field of marine current energy, mainly concerning tidal currents and in-stream tidal turbines. Tides have the advantage of being predictable decades ahead. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Interplay Between Environment and Genes on Morphological Variation in Perch – Implications for Resource Polymorphisms

    Författare :Jens Olsson; Peter Eklöv; Mats Björklund; Richard Svanbäck; Andrew P. Hendry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ecology; Perch; Resource polymorphism; Genetic differentiation; Phenotypic plasticity; Morphology; Competition; Character divergence; Behavior; Growth rate; Resource level; Gut lenght; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Recent research has suggested that individual specialization within populations could be substantial and more common than previously acknowledged. Eurasian perch is one of many species of fish in lakes of postglacial origin that displays a morphological and dietary variation tightly coupled to the littoral and pelagic habitats of the lake.

  7. 5. Modeling Oil Exploration and Production : Resource-Constrained and Agent-Based Approaches

    Författare :Kristofer Jakobsson; Kjell Aleklett; Rob Hart; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Oil production; forecasting; modeling; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik; Engineering Science with specialization in the Science of Global Energy Resources; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot globala energiresurser;

    Sammanfattning : Energy is essential to the functioning of society, and oil is the single largest commercial energy source. Some analysts have concluded that the peak in oil production is soon about to happen on the global scale, while others disagree. LÄS MER
