  1. 1. Rising Temperatures and the Damselfly Shrinkage

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ernie Hacko Haglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Damselfly; Body; Size; Body Size; Temperature; Reproduction; Eggs; Egg; Egg Count; Flicksländor; Kropp; Storlek; Kroppsstorlek; Temperatur; Reproduktion; Ägg; Äggräkning; Antal Ägg;

    Abstract : Body size governs how temperature affects an organism. As temperature vary on different geographical scales, it mediates activity based on size. READ MORE

  3. 2. Turning Night into Day : Does Skyglow affect Bat Activity and Timing of Emergence?

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Torge Gerwin; [2023]
    Keywords : Skyglow; Bats; Light pollution; Bat activity; Bat emergence; Riparian forest; Landscape composition; Multi-scale landscape; Landscape management; Sweden;

    Abstract : Artificial brightness of the night sky caused by the backscatter of artificial light in the atmosphere is a consequence of ongoing urbanization. Skyglow covers 88 % of Europe’s surface and poses significant threats to biodiversity. Extensive research on responses of bats to direct light pollution already revealed significant impacts.

  4. 3. Remote Sensing of Cryospheric Surfaces : Small Scale Surface Roughness Signatures in Satellite Altimetry Data

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Petter Ideström; [2023]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Altimetry; Arctic; Cryosphere; ICESat-2; Cryosat-2; Svalbard;

    Abstract : The Arctic cryosphere is experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the rest of the world due to Arctic amplification. As glacier elevation change provide reliable evidence of climate change it is routinely measured by satellite altimeters. READ MORE

  5. 4. Computational study of the photophysical properties of two related photosensitizer proteins

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Benjamin Fégeant; [2023]
    Keywords : Photosensitizer proteins; QM MM; photophysics; molecular dynamics; computational protocol for protein preparation; Fotosensibiliserande proteiner; QM MM; fotofysik; molekylär dynamik; beräkningsprotokoll för förberedelser av proteiner;

    Abstract : Den ökande koldioxidhalten i atmosfären har lett till ett ökat intresse för användning av solljus, ett exempel är inom kemi. Att använda ljus i kemi kan leda till nya och intressanta kemiska reaktioner och kan tillämpas i användningsområden som exempelvis fotokatalys och fotovoltaik. READ MORE

  6. 5. 2 + 1 Dimensional Chern-Simons Theory for Landau-Ginzburg Theory

    University essay from

    Author : Adam Fredriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : 2 1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory; superconductivity.;

    Abstract : In this work, 2 + 1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory have been used in an attempt to describe superconductivity. It was examined if the two defining properties of superconductivity, infinite direct current (DC) conductivity and the Meissner effect, as well as the two characteristic length scales of superconductors, the London penetration depth and the coherence length, could be obtained.
