21. Tomorrow is yesterday: early-life conditions shape ectotherm life histories
Sammanfattning : Life history theory seeks to explain the overwhelming diversity of resource allocation strategies in nature by exploring how evolutionary forces optimise survival and reproduction within an organism’s environment. Central to this theory is that resources are finite, and thus increased investment into one trait may reduce resources available for another trait. LÄS MER
22. Physical properties of dispersions and composites containing surface-grafted cellulose nanocrystals
Sammanfattning : The needs and requests from the society for non-fossil-based materials as well as more lightweight products are constantly increasing. The increasing awareness of the sustainability of the resources available paralleled by a growing population, point to a need for changes, if the population also aim for constantly higher standard of living.

23. On the Spray Forming of Metals, the Formation of Porosity and the Heat Evolution during Solidification
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the heat evolution duringsolidification and its relation to the formation of porosity.It intends to improve the current understanding of theformation of porosity in cast materials with special interestin nodular cast iron and the spray forming process.

24. Sub-lethal Effects of Anthropogenic Contaminants on Aquatic Invertebrates
Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic contaminants are considered to play a substantial role in the decline of freshwater invertebrate diversity. Sub-lethal effects of many of these contaminants on behaviour and life-history traits of aquatic invertebrates may contribute to their decline. LÄS MER
25. Cracking in Reinforced Concrete Structures Due to Imposed Deformations
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with modeling of the cracking process in reinforced concrete due to imposed deformations. Cracking is investigated both at early ages, during hydration, and at mature age when the final properties of the concrete are reached. LÄS MER
