PhD Thesis
This is the full text of the PhD thesis, excluding the papers. It contains the cover pages, the so-called “nailing page” (an official announcement from Stockholm University containing the date and place of the defence, as well as the title and abstract of the thesis), and the “kappa”, formed of the front matter (table of contents, summaries, list of papers, author's contribution, contribution from the licentiate, publications not included in the thesis, list of figures, abbreviations and symbols), the main body, and the back matter (bibliography, acknowledgements). The papers themselves can be downloaded separately, using the links below.
