Soil organic matter (SOM) supports the Earth's ability to sustain terrestrial ecosystems, provide food and fiber, and retains the largest pool of actively cycling carbon. Over 75% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) in the top meter of soil is directly affected by human land use. Large land areas have lost SOC as a result of land use practices, yet there are compensatory opportunities to enhance prod

For the first time, to the best of the authors' knowledge, nonintrusive quantitative measurement of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) released during the devolatilization phase of straw pellets gasification is demonstrated with high spatial and temporal resolution. Mid-infrared degenerate four-wave mixing (IR-DFWM) measurements of HCN were performed by probing the interference-free P(20) line in the v 1 vibr

Bedrägerier genom social manipulation har under de senaste åren ökat markant och medför betydande förluster för bankkunder. Lag (2010:751) om betaltjänster (betaltjänstlagen) förutsätter att en transaktion är obehörig för att huvudregeln i 5 a kap. 1 § om återställande ska anses tillämplig, och kunden har möjlighet att få tillbaka det förlorade beloppet. Enligt praxis från Allmänna reklamationsnämBank fraud based on social engineering, where victims are persuaded to authorise the payment themselves, has risen sharply in recent years, causing substantial losses for customers. Under the Swedish Payment Services Act (2010:751), the restitution rule in Chapter 5a Section 1 applies only where the payment is regarded as an unauthorised transaction. Current practice of the Swedish National Board

The artificial replaced hip joint represents the major success story in orthopedic surgery in the twentieth century; there is much interest in extending research on hip joint even further. The stress distribution in the different bone tissues of a femur is significantly altered after an artificial replacement. Thus, there is a strong need to increase the prosthesis performance considering several

Atomic layer deposited (ALD) TiO2 thin films have a wide range of applications in photonics which are, however, limited by the chemical instability of the amorphous as-deposited TiO2. Post-deposition annealing is required for improving the performance by inducing phase transitions and oxide defects. ALD precursor traces remaining in the TiO2 film affect the thermally-induced processes but the unde

The concept of importance of criteria is used as a central element in several decision making contexts, specifically in value aggregation, e.g. as an input to decision support tools. For example, in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision makers are asked to estimate how much more important one criterion is than another. However, it is not clear how people understand aggregation models based

Adapting successes of policy transition from one city to another has been more difficult than single case of successful sustainability-driven projects and developments. A thorough understanding of local biophysical and socio-economic conditions is essential in formulating effective development plans and policies. Here, we propose the use of a social-ecological model as a comparative tool to help u

The 2014 Swedish National infrastructure plan allocated funds to implement a “Regional Superbus concept”. The concept involves the upgrading a number of existing regional express bus services to make them function as an alternative to investing in regional rail. The Regional superbus concept is an attempt to adapt the BRT planning philosophy to the regional scale and the context of the region it s

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) wireless communications can improve traffic safety at road intersections and enable congestion avoidance. However, detailed knowledge about the wireless propagation channel is needed for the development and realistic assessment of V2V communication systems. We present a novel geometry-based stochastic MIMO channel model with support for frequencies in the band of 5.2-6.2 G

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and is an important nutrient in the ocean. The global Si cycle plays a critical role in regulating primary productivity and carbon cycling on the continents and in the oceans. Development of the analytical tools used to study the sources, sinks, and fluxes of the global Si cycle (e.g., elemental and stable isotope ratio data for

The use of fetal bovine serum hinders obtaining reproducible experimental results and should also be removed in hormone and growth factor studies. In particular hormones found in FBS act globally on cancer cell physiology and influence transcriptome and metabolome. The aim of our study was to develop a renal carcinoma serum free culture model optimized for (embryonal) renal cells in order to selec

Scintillators based on Ce-doped garnets are regularly co-doped with Mg2+ or Ca2+ to form Ce ions in 4+ state and reduce undesired afterglow. However overly high Ce4+ concentration leads to poor light yield performance. In order to understand the reason for variation in luminescence efficiency of Ce3+- and Ce4+-doped garnets we investigate the differences in energy conversion processes in complex L

Marginalised agrarian societies are suggested to be the most vulnerable to environmental hazards and other perturbations. There are competing explanations for this phenomenon, which include: a lack of development, global environmental change, and the development process itself, or capitalism more specifically. All three causal arguments are compelling, but typically offer only partial explanations

Numerical studies were performed to estimate the heat transfer and hydrodynamic properties of a forced convection turbulent flow using three-dimensional horizontal concentric annuli. This paper applied the standard k–ε turbulence model for the flow range 1 × 104 ≤ Re ≥ 24 × 103. A wide range of parameters like different nanomaterials (Al2O3, CuO, SiO2 and ZnO), different particle nanoshapes (spher

During the firstyear of the project the cluster worked on the data service requirement tracking and a technology landscape and gap analysis on the RI FAIR data/services level, to provide an up-to-date investigation of the most common gaps the ENVRIs need to bridge with respect to the FAIR principles and the EOSC requirements. The FAIRness analysis (D5.1) established that the participating RIs disp

Field variability of element concentrations in crops is important to consider for nutrient application as well as for evaluation of environmental hazards. The paper gives an analysis of spatially sampled wheat plant tissue in the field to determine spatial properties of 20 elements for a partly sludge-applied agricultural soil in northern Tunisia. A comparison is made with the spatial variability

Various concepts guide discussions on global literature, not least ›transnational‹. The presenttext advocates, however, for the term trans-imperial, as offering a more correct definitionof world literature, or global literature, both in pre-modern and modern times. Imperialspheres build up worlds of strong interconnections, and the languages they employ becomeprivileged languages that may last bey

BACKGROUND: The transition to undertaking rehabilitation in the home or local neighbourhood calls for an extensive understanding of which aspects of the built environment are important for people with stroke.OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study aims to explore how home and local neighbourhood environments support or hinder rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke from the perspectives of vario
