En dendrokronologisk undersökning har gjorts på 128 tallar (Pinus sylvestris) från två torvmossar: Viss mosse och Åbuamossen i Skåne, södra Sverige. De delar av torvmossars lagerföljd som innehåller stubbar och stammar bildar stubbhorisonter. En stubbhorisont i en lagerföljd representerar en torrare fas i mossens historia, oftast som ett resultat av hydrologiska variationer orsakade av klimat föräIn total 128 pine samples (Pinus sylvestris) from two raised peat bogs, Viss mosse and Åbuamossen, Skåne, southern Sweden were examined with dendrochronological methodology. The result is a number of floating chronologies, of which the longest cover 570 years. The three most valuable chronologies were 14C-dated to construct dated chronologies. These chronologies are of certain dendrochronological

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Echinodermerna räknas som en mycket viktig del av den marina faunan. Bland echinodermerna återfinns djur som sjöstjärnor, sjöborrar, ormstjärnor och sjöliljor. Gemensamt för dessa är att de alla byggs upp av ett skelett av mindre delfragment, plåtar, där byggnadskomponenten för själva "skelettet" är kalcit. Kalcit är ett mineral som förekommer som en vPhosphatization of late Early Ordovician echinoderm fragments from N Öland has resulted in excellent preservation of the echinoderm stereom ultra structure. The stereom investigated shows a close relationship to different types found in recent echinoderms. The several different types of phosphatic preservation found have been controlled by diagenetic relationships. The original stereom structures

Under de senaste 15 åren har användningen av frekvenselektromagnetiska sonderingsinstrument inom geofysiska undersökningar drivit forskningen framåt för att förbättra den använda metoden. En av dessa tekniker är inversion vilket är den process som omvandlar elektromagnetiska data till djupvärden för geologiska lager. Inversion av frekvenselektromagnetiska data har länge varit förknippat med svårigThe adoption of frequency electromagnetic (EM) sounding devices in the past 15 years for geophysical exploration has fueled research into techniques associated with the method. One of these techniques is inversion which is the process of turning the EM data into measurements of depth for different geological layers. Inversion of frequency EM data has classically been difficult and unreliable. With

The world around us is urbanising at a faster rate than ever. Today more than 70 per cent of the European population lives in urban areas, especially small and medium-sized cities. Often, cities are the centres of economic growth. In the context of urban pollution and climate change, cities are at the core of European policies due to their ability to be the ‘places’ where solutions and innovations

During the past four years we have seen a developing economic crisis in Greece. The media have reported cut-backs in the public sector, increased unemployment, upcoming demonstrations and intense political debates regarding emergency loans. The media also portrays how the humanitarian situation in Greece is worse than ever. For example, in fostercare in the country has increased by 150 % in the pa

In the laminator there are three laminator stations where protective layers are applied to the paperboard. In each station there are several rollers which help perform the lamination process, the most important rollers to be considered in this thesis are the nip roller and the chill roller. The nip roller is pushed towards the chill roller using hydraulic cylinders , thus creating a narrow contact

Issue of study: There is no clear framework for IPR negotiation to support the establishment of I-U collaboration by balancing their competing interests. For I-U collaborations within the same country, several sets of guidelines have been produced to emphasize IPR-issues in R&D collaborations. These have helped to increase awareness, but corporations and universities still report problems when

In the 1960:s the Swedish government approved a decision that led to the construction of about one million households during the years 1965-1975. Today these buildings are both deprived and suffer from high energy consumption. To address these problems individually is very expensive. If it instead is done simultaneously substantial savings can be made. The company AB Helsingborgshem owns and manag

In year 2006 Carlings was named the most profitable chain, selling clothes, in Sweden. A year after they ended up on the podium once again. What is remarkable about this result is the fact the company does not exploit any direct marketing or offer a differentiated product compared to its competitors such as H&M and Gina Tricot. How did they manage to do this? The intention of this paper is to

In Delhi, as in many other large cities in developing countries, the inappropriate management of municipal solid waste is a significant flaw in the quality of life of its residents, and a serious threat to the environment. Taking the integrated approach to solid waste management as its point of departure, this thesis focuses on city residents as waste producers and their role in municipal solid wa
