  1. 1. The functional anatomy of the crocodilian heart

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Jennifer Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Anatomy; Cardiac right-to-left shunt; Cog-teeth-like valves; Crocodilian heart; Foramen of Panizza; Hemodynamics; Left aorta;

    Abstract : Crocodiles are ectothermic, intermittent breathing reptiles with low metabolic rates. Additionally, they are diving animals that can stay submerged for long periods, which poses special demands on their cardiovascular system. The crocodilian heart is four-chambered with completely separated ventricles, making it unique among other reptiles. READ MORE

    Abstract : In recent years, the frequency of disruptive events in supply chains has increased. This is partly due to the fact that supply chains are more globalized and more complex, with deeper tiering among suppliers. This makes the supply chain more vulnerable to risks. READ MORE

  6. 5. Laboratory starlight simulator for future space-based heterodyne interferometry

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : William Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Angular resolution; Astronomy; Coherence length; Digital delay lines; Fiber optical circuit; Heterodyne interferometry; Interference; Laboratory starlight simulator; NIR light Near-Infrared ; Optical path differences; Space exploration; Starlight; Testbed environment;

    Abstract : In astronomy, interferometry by ground-based telescopes offers the greatest angular resolution. However, the Earth´s atmosphere distorts the incident wavefront from a celestial object, leading to blurring and signal loss. It also restricts the transmission of specific wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum. READ MORE
