The development of scientific reasoning skills
- Developmental Review
, 2000
"... The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to the growing body of research on the development of scientific reasoning skills. The focus is on the reasoning and problem-solving strategies involved in experimentation and evidence evaluation. Research on strategy use in science has unde ..."

Scientific application performance on candidate petascale platforms
- In Proc. of the International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS
, 2007
"... After a decade where HEC (high-end computing) capability was dominated by the rapid pace of improvements to CPU clock frequency, the performance of next-generation supercomputers is increasingly differentiated by varying interconnect designs and levels of integration. Understanding the tradeoffs of ..."

ISRN SICS-D--56--SE Improving Low-Power Wireless Protocols with Timing-Accurate Simulation
, 2011
"... I first thank my thesis advisors Thiemo Voigt and Adam Dunkels for being my excellent advisors, and also for being the great colleagues you still are. Thiemo and Adam have complemented each other superbly, giving me feedback, perspectives, insights, and having made every single new venture truly fun ..."

I first thank my thesis advisors Thiemo Voigt and Adam Dunkels for being my excellent advisors, and also for being the great colleagues you still are. Thiemo and Adam have complemented each other superbly, giving me feedback, perspectives, insights, and having made every single new venture truly fun. My deepest thanks also go to my professor Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University. Per has in a seemingly easy way spotted erroneous assumptions, has valued my research contributions, and has connected my own work with another broader world of research. I want to thank all colleagues in the Networked Embedded Systems group:
SIMULATION, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR MIGRATORY BIRD TRACKING
, 2012
"... This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable reli ..."

reliable, low-cost monitoring of migratory species. The developed multi-tier architecture yields ecologists with unconventional behavior in-formation not furnished by alternative tracking systems at such a large scale and for a low-cost. The simulation, development and implementation of the Crane
Implications for Structural Health Monitoring and Load Rating Resulting from the Performance of Damage Integrated Bridges
"... According to the ASCE’s Report Card for America’s Infrastructure, in-service bridges have received scores as low as C+, highlighting an overall poor condition state. This grade reflects the need for strategies and solutions to improve the overall performance. Various studies have been conducted in a ..."

fundamental understanding of what the measured response means for the overall health of the structure. This investigation presents the results of an ongoing investigation on the characterization and behaviour of damaged in-service bridges. The study includes the numerical simulation of system level behaviour
Models in science’,
- The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The Metaphysics Research Lab,
, 2008
"... Models are of central importance in many scientific contexts. The centrality of models such as the billiard ball model of a gas, the Bohr model of the atom, the MIT bag model of the nucleon, the Gaussian-chain model of a polymer, the Lorenz model of the atmosphere, the Lotka-Volterra model of preda ..."

understanding of the underlying mechanisms. As a result, the use of computer simulations may change the weight we assign to the various goals of science. So it is important not to be carried away with the means that new powerful computers offer and to thereby place out of sight the actual goals of research
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, A nitrogen 6(3), 559–582 model for (2002) European © catchments: EGS INCA, new model structure and equations A nitrogen model for European catchments: INCA, new model structure and equations
"... A new version of the Integrated Nitrogen in Catchments model (INCA) was developed and tested using flow and streamwater nitrate concentration data collected from the River Kennet during 1998. INCA is a process-based model of the nitrogen cycle in the plant/soil and instream systems. The model simula ..."
