The utility of relative environmental suitability (RES) modelling for predicting distributions of seabirds in the North Atlantic

Understanding spatial and temporal variability in the distribution of seabirds is fundamental for the conservation and management of marine ecosystems. In the absence of large-scale systematic survey data, the application of standard habitat modelling techniques to predict the at-sea distributions of seabirds at large spatial scales has been limited. In this study, we examine the utility of relati

Spatial Structures in Conrad’s Universe : The Tension between Opening and Closing as a Literary Device

Many attempts have been made to catch the essence of Joseph Conrad’s work by examining the contents of his ideas. This thesis argues instead that the important factor is the preferred spatial structures of his world-views and the interplay between them. Above all, Conrad’s work can be seen as a battle-ground between closing and opening structures. The former have a claustrophobic effect on the con

Lidar system applied in atmospheric pollution monitoring

A lidar system, incorporating tunable dye lasers and a 25-cm diam Newtonian telescope, has been constructed and applied in atmospheric pollution monitoring. The system, which is fully controlled by a specially designed microcomputer, has been used in several field tests, where stack effluents as well as the ambient air have been monitored. Results from particle, NO2, and SO2 measurements are discu

Transient electromagnetic pulse propagation in temporally dispersive materials

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar elektromagnetisk vågutbredning i dispersiva material. Ett material är dispersivt om vågor med olika frekvenser propagerar genom det med olika hastigheter, dvs om materialparametrar är frekvensberoende. Pulsutbredning i dispersiva media karakteriseras av att pulsens form ändras under utbredning genom materialet. Traditionellt behandlas vågutbredninThis thesis treats the problem of transient electromagnetic pulse propagation in temporally dispersive media. The analysis is performed using time-domain techniques. In particular, the dispersive wave splitting which decouples the Maxwell equations both in vacuum and inside the medium is utilized. Complex time-dependent electromagnetic fields are introduced. These fields simplify the Maxwell equat
