Abstract in Uncoded languagesEasy access to hydro-climatic data is a necessary precondition for the progress and success of any water resources research project. Without (easy) access to these data, realistic and reliable assessment of a catchment under study is impossible. The aim of this note is not to discuss the importance of the collection of hydro-climatic data but to emphasise the worthines

I artikeln analyseras Högsta förvaltningsdomstolens roll och ansvar att bevilja prövningstillstånd och bilda prejudikat. Betydelsen av god prejudikatbildning lyfts fram och ett urval av avgöranden illustrerar hur domstolen kan skapa prejudikat för konkreta rättsfrågor, men också av mer generell art. Det finns ett antal exempel på hur domstolen har tagit tillfället i akt att göra detta, men författ

Action spectroscopy is a method for identifying the light-absorbing chromophore in a photobiological or biochemical process by comparing the efficiency of radiation of different wavelengths in driving the process. This chapter explains the principle and gives several ex-amples from the history of biology of what has been achieved using this technique.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present findings concerning what logistics managers perceive as being difficult and challenging, and what implications this may have for further advances in the logistics discipline. Design/methodology/approach – The point of departure for this study was to reflect on perceived problems, uncertainties, trends, and solutions in logistics, and how they are h

(+)-5,6-Epoxy-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-one, (+)-1, and endo-(−)-5,6-epoxy-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-ol, endo-(−)-2, were obtained by kinetic resolution of rac-1 by asymmetric bioreduction catalyzed by whole cells of a genetically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain. The strain, TMB4100, had 1% phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) activity and overexpressed a specific short-chain dehydrogenase,

During recent years, mobile phone companies have experienced market-related difficulties that result in increasing competition globally. In an attempt to maintain or increase their market share, enterprises reorganize their resources and employ new technologies to sharpen their competitive edges. Moreover, with the globalization, more and more companies become multi-sited. Efficient and timely col

Bodnar and Schmid (2008) derived the distribution of the global minimum variance portfolio weights and obtained the distribution of the test statistics for the general linear hypothesis. Their results are obtained in the case when the number of observations n is bigger or equal than the size of portfolio k. In the present paper, we extend the result by analyzing the portfolio weights in a small sa

Spectroscopic investigations of highly charged ions have been performed in the VUV, UV and visible spectral regions using mainly the beam-foil technique. New 2s22px3l levels have been established in N and O-like Si and S, together with many transitions between these levels. Several of these lines have also been identified in the solar corona spectra recorded by the SUMER/SOHO instrument. In Mg-lik

Energy efficiency has gained attention as an important means of ensuring energy supply, fostering countries’ competitiveness and cost-effectively mitigating CO2 emissions. Yet, evaluations of energy efficiency policies are often lacking or insufficient. Moreover, researchers have tended to overlook these types of policies in non-OECD countries, although at this very moment many of these countries
