Silica has rarely been used as a seed particle material in acoustic trapping of nanoparticles. Here we use fluorescent nanoparticles, which are frequently used as a model system, to demonstrate that throughput and nanoparticle trapping efficiency can be improved by using silica seed particles as opposed to traditionally used polystyrene seed particles. The 10 times larger dipole scattering coeffic
Aim: How the ability of plants to move towards newly favourable habitats (dispersal limitation) impacts the change of biome distribution and transition under fast climate warming is still debated. Analysing vegetation change in the past may help to clarify the relative importance of underlying ecological processes such as climate, biotic interactions, and dispersal. In this study, we investigated
In this chapter, focus is on the period 1945-1960 and the discussion is divided into three thematic sections: First, macro-economic structures including growth trends and the composition of the economies. Second, colonial budgets including state finance, fiscal capacity, and economic policy. Third, changes in occupations, incomes, and living standards primarily for the African subjects. The text p
A previous systematic review has shown associations between exposure to high temperatures and negative birth outcomes. To date, a scoping review for heat indices and their use to measure effects of heat on maternal and perinatal health has not been considered.Objectives To provide a scoping review on heat stress and indices for those interested in the epidemiology and working in extreme heat and m
The ubiquitous presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment has raised concern about their potential impacts on and risks to the biota. While the presence of microplastics in a marine environment has been well studied, the impact of microplastic contamination in freshwater bodies is understudied. In the present study, baseline data about contamination with microplastics in Lake Guaíba in s
BACKGROUND: Clinical notes are ubiquitous resources offering potential value in optimizing critical care via data mining technologies.OBJECTIVE: To determine the predictive value of clinical notes as prognostic markers of 1-year all-cause mortality among people with diabetes following critical care.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mortality of diabetes patients were predicted using three cohorts of clinical
Spark-ignition (SI) aviation piston engines are widely used on light helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) because of the high-power density and ultra-high cost performance. Kerosene with high flash point is expected to improve safety of aforementioned aircrafts by replacing gasoline. However, in spark-ignition mode, kerosene is difficult to mix and is easy to knock. Short-chain alcohols
Increased carbon sequestration in agricultural land is an important measure to reduce global warming. Since the soil is a large carbon sink, a small change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks can make a substantial difference to the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. An increase in SOC improves the soil health and fertility which in turn gives better yields and a more secure food supply
This text is an attempt to re-evaluate the significance of Roman imports in Scandinavian contexts as well as to answer overarching questions concerning frontier zones, and the building of core-periphery relationships. This is achieved by applying the Roman concepts of hospitium and dona militaria as well as theoretical frameworks such as provincial ritual practices and cultural hybridisation to a
Long-distance bird migrants face three main constraints: time, energy, and predation risk during migration. As a result, their migratory strategies may be altered. Since migratory birds spend most of their time refueling during migration, they are particularly vulnerable to predation risk at stopover sites. The trade-off between energy intake and predation risk is widely acknowledged. However, the
År 1998 hittades fyraårige Kevin död. Två bröder, som vid tiden var fem och sju år gamla pekades ut som ansvariga. I dokumentären ”Fallet Kevin” gjord av Dokument inifrån, uppdagades stora brister i förhören med de två bröderna. Denna uppsats syftar till att diskutera bevisvärderingen av barnförhör och hur kravet på rättssäkerhet uppfylls när barnet är målsägande i utsagemål. I utsagemål består In 1998, a four year old boy called Kevin was found murdered. Two brothers, who at the time were five and seven years old, were pointed out responsible. In the documentary ”Fallet Kevin” made by Dokument inifrån, great deficiencies in the interrogation with the boys were discovered. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the evaluating of evidence when a child is interrogated and how the require
I uppsatsen studeras de huvudsakliga instrumenten för biologisk mångfald i rättsakterna för EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik (CAP). Syftet är att studera hur dessa instrument förhåller sig till de principiella förutsättningar som krävs för att den biologiska mångfalden i jordbrukslandskapen ska kunna bevaras. Dessa instrument utvärderas därför utifrån den sjunde av de så kallade Malawiprinciperna.In this thesis the main instruments for sustaining biodiversity in the legal acts of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are studied. The aim is to study how these instruments relate to the basic prerequisites that are needed to protect biodiversity in the arable landscape. The instruments are therefore evaluated based on principle seven of the so-called Malawi Principles. The Malawi Princip
I svensk rätt saknas en rättslig förpliktelse att hjälpa nödställda. Genom garantläran är det dock möjligt att ålägga personer med handlingsplikt. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vilka relationer som kan leda till garantställning och om garantläran med hänsyn till dagens familjebild är i behov av förändring. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte har rättsdogmatisk metod använts. Under 1960-taletIn Swedish law there is no legal obligation to assist people in need. Through the doctrine of omission responsibility (Swedish: garantläran) it is possible to impose an obligation to act. This essay will investigate which relations can lead to omission responsibility and whether the doctrine of omission responsibility needs to be reformed due to changes in family formation in today´s society. Du
En ny lagstiftning och avsaknad av praxis har medfört att rättstillämpningen avseende bedömning av påföljd och straffvärde för penningtvättsbrott är oklar. Mot bakgrund av att antalet anmälda fall av penningtvättsbrott ökat, är det av största betydelse att rättstillämpningen är förutsebar och rättssäker. Syftet med denna uppsats har därför varit klargöra rättsläget och utifrån en tillämpning av
Den internationella investeringsrätten regleras i stort genom ett system av bilaterala investeringsavtal upprättat två stater emellan. Dessa skyddar internationella investeringar genom en rad olika substantiella rättigheter. Det utmärkande skyddet de erbjuder är dock rätten till skiljeförfarande. Genom skiljeklausuler i investeringsavtal har investerare möjlighet att stämma stater genom skiljeförf
Nya system skapar svårigheter då man inte kan använda redan etablerade metaforer, designer eller sätt att beskriva och prata om systemet. Detta arbetet ämnar att underlätta arbetet med sådana system genom att erbjuda designprinciper och metodiker för att jobba med dem och undersöka vilka svårigheter man behöver vara medveten om. För att forma och testa nya designprinciper och metodiker så genomföOne of the difficulties in designing new products is the absence of already tried metaphors, designs or ways to talk about the system. This thesis focuses on methods and practises one could potentially use when designing something new - and if there are any challenges one need to aware of as a designer of such a system. In order to devise, and test, these practices and methods, an example system
This thesis studies the application of Linear Predictive coding (LPC) in the downlink of Long Term Evolution (LTE) fronthaul, which comprises of BBU and RRH. This can act as an additional module in the existing system. Today, the transmission of a single complex sample from the BBU to the RRH consumes 30 bits. The research of the thesis is to analyze the application of linear prediction theory in
