Individual forager behaviors should affect per capita intake rates and thereby population and consumer-resource properties. We consider and incorporate conspecific facilitation and interference during the separate foraging-cycle stages in a functional response model that links individual behavioral interactions with consumer-resource processes. Our analyses suggest that failing to properly conside
I forskargruppen studerar vi val av kirurgisk metod vid primär bröstcancerkirurgi (LR), riskfaktorer för lokalrecidiv (ENM) och rehabiliteringsbehov (MM/LR) efter primär kirurgi. Genom att systematiskt analysera sambandet mellan lymfkörtelmetastas och patient- och tumörrelaterade faktorer avser vi att ta fram ett kliniskt beslutsstöd som kan användas för att skräddarsy axillens kirurgi.

Problem presentation: The ability to efficiently co-ordinate and direct design management is an extremely important aspect of the building design process. During the building design process you manufacture the intangible building structure that will form the foundation of the physical building structures. There are many challenging tasks and areas when attempting to achieve an efficient building d
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to improve the material supply to assembly stations at Nedermans and identify parameters and principles that determine if the components should be stored at the assembly station or in the warehouse. The improvement should reduce the floor space used for assembly, increase the assembly utilization rate and reduce waste of time in the material handling.

Our research is focused on epilepsy and the pathophysiological changes that may occur in the brain before and after epileptic seizures. About 0,7 % of the community has epilepsy and more than 30 % are resistant to any known medical therapy. We have a particular interest in the immune reaction in the brain and how it can be modulated in epilepsy. Recently, we were the first to describe an immune r
This paper discusses two feasibility studies of Genetic Programming (GP) to the field of control theory, GP being a method inspired from nature where the goal is to create a computer program automatically from high-level statements of problems' requirements. The first feasibility study derives from stability theory and deals with evolving a program that can solve discrete-time Lyapunov equations.
The cross section of bottom quark-antiquark (bb¯) production in p+p collisions at s=510 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The results are based on the yield of high mass, like-sign muon pairs measured within the PHENIX muon arm acceptance (1.21 GeV/c, and dimuon mass of 5-10 GeV/c2. The extrapolated total cross section at this energy for bb¯ productio
Objective Bayesians hold that degrees of belief ought to be chosen in the set of probability functions calibrated with one’s evidence. The particular choice of degrees of belief is via some objective, i.e., not agent-dependent, inference process that, in general, selects the most equivocal probabilities from among those compatible with one’s evidence. Maximising entropy is what drives these infere
Considerable effort has been dedicated over the years to model and simulate the ultrafiltration process. Most approaches are theoretical and therefore not applicable to industrial process streams. When treating such solutions, a combination of experiments and simulations is needed. In this thesis, a method has been developed for design and optimization of UF plants. The method uses experiments in
In this chapter we summarize the solution developed by team KTH for the Amazon Picking Challenge 2016 in Leipzig, Germany. The competition, which simulated a warehouse automation scenario, was divided into two parts: a picking task, where the robot picks items from a shelf and places them into a tote, and a stowing task, where the robot picks items from a tote and places them in a shelf. We descri
Forskning i förpackningslogistik fokuserar på förpackningen och dess inverkan på logistiken. Forskningsområdena går från tillämpad industrirelaterad forsning till teori- och metodikutveckling inom förpackningslogistik. Fokus är för närvarade på hur förpackningen kan användas för att skapa värdeaddition och omfattar förpackningens konstruktionsprocess och hur den kan integreras med produktutvecklinResearch in packaging logistics focuses on packaging and its impact on logistics. The research areas are ranging from applied, industry related research to theoretical and methodological developments for the packaging logistics discipline. The focus is currently on how the package can be used to create an added value and starts with the packaging design process and how it can be integrated with th
Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen har ett välgrundat rykte för sina omfattande forskningsprogram med tonvikt på långsiktiga processer, baserad på ekonomisk teori och med kvantitativa metoder som viktiga verktyg. Forskningsämnena är inriktade på frågor av hög relevans för samhället. Institutionens forskare genererar årligen en imponerande mängd internationell publicering och är mycket framgångsrThe Department of Economic History has a well-established reputation for wide-ranging research programmes with an emphasis on long-term processes, based on economic theory and quantitative methods as important tools. The research topics are oriented towards issues of high relevance for society. The Department has an acknowledged international publication record and is very successful at attracting
Auditory event-related brain potentials evoked in response to tone stimuli and to speech stimuli were recorded in a group of parents of children with specific language-impairment and a group of parents of normally speaking children. The parents of the language-impaired children showed longer P3 latencies than the parental control group in the speech task requiring a phonological discrimination, bu
Coupling between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom in Rhodamine 800 has been studied using fluorescence line narrowing (FLN) and three-pulse photon echo peak shift (3PEPS). From the FLN measurement we extract the Huang-Rhys S-factors and frequencies of 16 Franck-Condon active vibrations clustered in two groups centred around 350 cm(-1) and 1400 cm(-1). The five modes below 500 cm(-1) cover
Objective: The de-institutionalizing process came to an end before the millennium shift by closing mental hospitals. After that some of the most ill patients are cared for in sheltered housing (SH). There is no in-house psychiatric competence and the staff on the floor usually lacks such knowledge and training. Observation instruments may improve this by making it possible to assess and monitor pa
Poststructuralist perspectives need to be reconciled with political economic readings of urban globalization. One approach complements the other: the enactment of distantiated circuits and the territorialization of flows occur within existing geographies of uneven development while contingently reproducing or reshaping such spatial conditions of possibility. We argue that broadening the realm of c
As most companies and organizations rely on their tech teams to drive their business, staying innovative becomes a crucial challenge in this context. The present study explores this strive for innovation by considering team reflexivity, defined as the ability of a group to communicate and ponder together. This concept is placed at the center of the proposed theoretical model, acting as a mediator
