Conservation and regulation of key photoperiod regulators in the Pooideae subfamily of grasses
(Master thesis, 2018)Plants have adapted to seasonal constraints of the temperate environment by exploiting annual fluctuations in day length. Well timed flowering is essential to maximize reproductive output in temperate regions with short ... -
Constraints to local catering supply and solutions to overcome these difficulties, an example from a rural territory
(Master thesis, 2014-10-28)Relating to the current changes towards sustainability in our global food system, many projects of local and/or organic catering supply emerged and are implemented all around Europe. Besides this rising development, these ... -
Consumer food practices towards sustainable food systems : the case study of the Valle dei Laghi Biodistrict, Italy
(Master thesis, 2023)The redesign of the global food system is urgent and biodistricts have the potential to lead the trajectory towards sustainable modes of production and consumption. Consumers are unanimously recognised a key role in achieving ... -
The contribution of repetitive elements to salmonid genome evolution
(Phd Thesis;2022:72, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Eukaryotic genomes typically consist of a substantial proportion of repetitive DNA in the form of transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNA. From studies of mammals, model species, and a few other well studied lineages ... -
Control of rush (Juncus spp.) : an expanding weed in grassland areas in Western Norway
(PhD Thesis;2016:83, Doctoral thesis, 2016)The perennial weeds soft rush (Juncus effusus L.) and compact rush (J. conglomeratus L.) have become an increasing problem in grassland in Western Norway and other European countries with high annual precipitation. Their ... -
Correlation between hair whorls and different types of behavior in dogs (Canis familiaris).
(Master thesis, 2014-02-18)Abstract Dogs are very popular pets and it would be useful to find more tools to better understand their behavior. Reactivity can be seen as emotionality, and indicate a heightened state of arousal. So the aim of this ... -
