- Polysaccharides constitute one of the major groups of biological macromolecules and they include some of the most abundant macromolecules in nature. In this chapter instrumental considerations when analyzing polysaccharides with flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF) are briefly discussed. Furthermore, an overview of characterized properties is given with special attention to multi angle light scattering. Included is an extensive review of literature on applications regarding flow FFF and polysaccharides.

- This chapter discusses several different aspects of the energy balance and physiological homeostasis of incubating birds, ranging from systematic, geographical and life history related variation in energy costs of incubation, to thermal considerations for birds on the nest, links between energy expenditure and fitness, and non-energetic costs of incubation. Our review of the literature shows that, across all bird species, this energy costs amounts to 3.4 times the basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is 15% lower than the cost of chick rearing (2.9 × BMR) for all birds, but is roughly equal to chick-rearing costs in those species in which only the female incubates. Energy costs are typically higher in challenging conditions, such as during incubation in harsh climates. This can impair fitness of parents and offspring, but little is understood about the physiological basis for such costs. We highlight and discuss possible mechanisms by which increased energy expenditure in incubating birds might hamper adult survival and, independently, carry over to also affect nestling phenotype and performance. We end by drawing attention to situations where the primary currency for incubation is not energy-based, which we exemplify by a discussion on the water economy of incubation in desert birds.

Flow FFF–basics and key applications

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The 1990s and 2000s have seen a rapidly growing use of flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF, FlFFF). As of today hundreds of publications in many different application areas are presented each year in which flow FFF has been used or is referred to. In this chapter a brief historical overview of flow FFF is given. Channel designs and basic principles are discussed as well as approaches to development of rapid high resolution separations. Finally, an overview of key applications is included with pioneering and ground-breaking papers from literature.

The water-energy-food nexus : an ecosystems and anthropocentric perspective

- As the consequences of climate change continue to unfold globally, effective adaptation strategies are critical. There are many uncertainties inherent in climate change adaptation. Thus a holistic approach must be undertaken to ensure all affected environmental resource sectors are accounted for. Adaptation strategies must involve consideration for water, energy, and food systems, and these sectors' impact on one another. This chapter examines the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus as a tool to provide stakeholders with possible future intersectoral adaptation strategies. This chapter uses two case study regions, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Latin America (LA), to illustrate the benefits of the WEF nexus approach for creating robust, intersectoral adaptation approaches for regional stakeholders.
