Freshwater, obligate aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus strain CB2 is able to metabolise various types of carbon sources. In this degree project, growth characterization of C.crescentus was made on different substrates including glucose, xylose, and mannose using shake-flask cultivations and bioreactor experiments. Special emphasis was put on the xylose degradation pathway, th
This thesis looks at climate change adaptation strategies in the Inner Forth region in Scotland. The region is expected to suffer from climate change induced stresses such as flooding, sea level rise and storm surges. To cope with these changes, a new coastal adaptation strategy has been suggested, based on soft solutions such as wetland creation and managed realignment. This has caused a dispute,

GARCH models are used to generate a measure of inflation uncertainty estimated under the distributional assumption of Student's t-distribution and GED. The preferable model found for Swedish inflation was a EGARCH(1,1) estimated with Student's t-distribution. The coefficient of the asymmetry in t
