Biographic sketches are provided for 19 of Austrian botanists who contributed in different ways to the knowledge on lichens of the European Alps: Othmar Breuss, Carl Wilhelm von Dalla Torre, Helmut Gams, Georg Gärtner, Martin Grube, Josef Hafellner, Karl von Keissler, Ernst Kernstock, Helmut Mayrhofer, Walter Obermayer, Josef Poelt, Karl Redinger, Julius Steiner, Elfriede Stocker-Wörgötter, Elisab
Abstract in UndeterminedGaps in measured discharge series are common in Iceland, especially during winter, but reconstructed series are needed for a number of applications. Modeled series are therefore sometimes used to fill the gaps to create a continuous series, but the modeled inserts may have different statistical characteristics from the observed series, whilst their initial and final values
Popular Abstract in Swedish Personlighetspsykologer har i mer än ett århundrade försökt att identifiera och beskriva observerbara skillnader mellan individer. Bland dessa indiduella skillnader har intelligens och personlighet fått stor uppmärksamhet inom skolvärlden, liksom elevers förhållningssätt till sitt lärande. Kunskapen om vilka faktorer som påverkar studieresultat har viktiga praktiska konThe aim of the present doctoral thesis was to examine to what extent personality traits and approaches to learning contribute to academic performance in upper secondary school (high school), after controlling for the well-known fact that general intelligence accounts for a large part of the variance. The general proposition of the thesis is that personality traits are stable dispositons and theref
We have compared the predictions of ligand-binding affinities from several methods based on end-point molecular dynamics simulations and continuum solvation, i.e. methods related to MM/PBSA (molecular mechanics combined with Poisson-Boltzmann and surface area solvation). Two continuum-solvation models were considered, viz. the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) and generalised Born (GB) approaches. The non-el
This paper presents a novel observation on Swedish subordinate clause structure. I show that in embedded V2 clauses, negation may only precede quantified subjects in the position following the complementizer; this is the very same limitation as found in the first position of main clauses. This correlation I take to provide a strong argument for assuming V-to-C movement in embedded V2 clauses. This
Glaucoma is a common ophthalmic disease with multifactorial aetiology. There is growing evidence that glaucoma is a disease of the entire retina and not only the inner retina. Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) affects the retinal pigment epithelium and is considered a model system for the more common blinding disease, age-related macular degeneration. The aim of the work presented in this
Co-production of high-value biobased products in biorefineries is a promising option for optimized utilization of biomass. Lignocellulosic materials such as agricultural and forest residues have been identified as attractive alternative feedstocks because of their high availability and low resource demand. This study assessed the greenhouse gas (GHG) performance and energy balance of ethanol co-pr
We present a theory for a complete reconstruction of nonlocal spin correlations in ferromagnet-normal conductors. This quantum spin tomography is based on cross-correlation measurements of electric currents into ferromagnetic terminals with controllable magnetization directions. For normal injectors, nonlocal spin correlations are universal and strong. The correlations are suppressed by spin-flip
The recent English translation of the diary of the Swedish naturalist Daniel Rolander (written 1754-1756) reveals the earliest records on useful plants of Suriname. Since he did not grant Linnaeus access to his specimens, Rolander never received credit for his work, part of his collection was lost, and his diary never published. Here we compare Rolander's notes with recent ethnobotanical data from
New measurements by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for. production at midrapidity as a function of transverse momentum ((PT)) and collision centrality in root s(NN) = 200 GeV Au + Au and p + p collisions are presented. They indicate nuclear modification factors (R-AA) which are similar in both magnitude and trend to those found in earlier pi(0) measurements. Linear fi
Background: Use of three-dimensional (3D) color volume-rendered (VR) images has been reported to be more time-efficient compared to that of cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of peroneal tendon dislocation. However, the diagnostic performance of this technique has not been studied. Purpose: To test diagnostic accuracy of 3D color VR CT images of ankle for peroneal te
We present results of a time-resolved pump-probe experiment where a Si sample was exposed to an intense 15 keV beam and its surface monitored by measuring the wavefront deformation of a reflected optical laser probe beam. By reconstructing and back propagating the wavefront, the deformed surface can be retrieved for each time step. The dynamics of the heat bump, build-up and relaxation, is followe
A numerical model was developed of beach morphological evolution in the vicinity of coastal structures. The model includes five sub-models for random wave transformation, surface roller development, nearshore wave-induced currents, sediment transport, and morphological evolution. The model was validated using high-quality data sets obtained during experiments with a T-head groin and a detached bre
At Sjölunda WWTP, a full-scale SBR for treatment of mesophilic sludge digester liquor has been operated almost a year with stable nitrite accumulation. Only nitritation of the sludge liquor is needed since the oxidized ammonium is denitrified in the first anoxic zone of the high-loaded activated sludge in the main plant. The process strategy was to have an ammonium set-point to end the aeration, a
In an experimental study we assessed if benthic bioturbating invertebrates affect the recruitment (hatching) of zooplankton from the sediment, and if this effect persists as differences in the zooplankton community in the water column, that is, if bioturbation quantitatively stimulates benthic-pelagic coupling. We investigated the effects of four different benthic invertebrates (Asellus aquaticus,
