Gliding birds continually change the shape and size of their wings(1-6), presumably to exploit the profound effect of wing morphology on aerodynamic performance(7-9). That birds should adjust wing sweep to suit glide speed has been predicted qualitatively by analytical glide models(2,10), which extrapolated the wing's performance envelope from aerodynamic theory. Here we describe the aerodynamic a
Orchids differ from other plants in their extremely small and partly air-filled seeds that can be transported long distances by wind. Seed dispersal in orchids is expected to contribute strongly to overall gene flow, and orchids generally express low levels of genetic differentiation between populations and low pollen to seed flow ratios. However, studies in orchids distributed in northern Europe
In this work, we have developed for the first time a method to make novel gold and platinum hybrid bimetallic nanostructures differing in shape and size. Au-Pt nanostructures were prepared by electrodeposition in two simple steps. The first step consists of the electrodeposition of nanocoral Au onto a gold substrate using hydrogen as a dynamic template in an ammonium chloride solution. After that,
Thermal performance of five bicycle helmets was evaluated with a thermal manikin head with six zones. Evaluation was made with physical and virtual experimental methods. Ambient temperature maintained at 24 °C and surface temperature of the thermal manikin head was set to 34 °C. Experiments were performed for air velocities of 1.6 m/s and 6 m/s. Heat transfer (W) of four thermal zones was recorded
Purpose - The aim of this paper is to analyze Artificial Intelligence in the music industry in order to provide an indication of how Artificial Intelligence is expected to continue impacting the connection between the consumer and the brand. Design/methodology/approach - The study is based on a qualitative single case study method and it discusses how Spotify has incorporated Artificial Intellige
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka gränsdragningsproblematiken med ett icke-lagstadgat kategoriseringsbegrepp. Begreppet Tillverkningsprocessen i industriell verksamhet är något av en gråzon, detta då det aldrig haft en lagstadgad definition och omfattningen av begreppet har förändrats över tid på olika sätt. Genom vissa tolkningsförändringar har en del företag kunnat förlora rätten till skatteläThe purpose of this essay is to examine the boundary problem with a non-legislated categorization concept. The concept of the manufacturing process in industrial activity is somewhat of a gray area, as it has never had a legis-lated definition and the scope of the concept has changed over time in dif-ferent ways. Through interpretation changes, some companies have lost the right to the tax relief.
En transaktion med en “warehousing”-struktur är en typ av två-stegstransaktion som omfattar flera moment, där säljaren först överlåter målbolaget till en tillfällig köpare som i sin tur överlåter målbolaget till en slutlig köpare. Den tillfälliga köparen används som ett lager för aktierna fram tills den slutliga transaktionen blivit godkänd av Europeiska kommissionen, varefter den slutliga transakA transaction with a warehousing structure is a type of two-step transaction, where the seller first transfers the target company to an interim buyer, who in turn transfers the target company to an ultimate buyer. The interim buyer is used as a ‘warehouse’ for the shares until the ultimate transaction is approved by the European Commission, after which the ultimate transaction can be implemented.
Problem description An increased importance of data management in organization is emerging. (Desai et al., 2022) Sharing and managing product data, information and knowledge are key aspects of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). (Terzi et al., 2010) It is both a technological and strategic challenge to implement a PLM system strategy in a company. (Gehrke et al., 2020) There also exists barriers c
Although lacking a commonly accepted definition, technical standards essentially refers to a set of technical specifications that enable compatibility among products. They may arise through formal standard-setting organizations, or sometimes simply from the market itself. Many of the products for which standards are of importance display network effects. Network effects designate the increasing va
It has been over 25 years since the AIDS epidemic was first recognised. HIV/AIDS has claimed more lives in South Africa than in any other country in the world. The pandemic has devastating impacts on society. Children infected or affected by the virus are hit particularly hard and the AIDS pandemic negatively affects children and their human rights in numerous ways: physically, emotionally and eco
The aim of this study is to examine whether there exists a right of humanitarian intervention in customary international law. The point of departure is the principle of non-use of force in customary international law. The International Court of Justice established in the Nicaragua Case that the principle of non-use of force not only is a jus cogens norm, but that it also has the basic identity of
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Floden Rio Sucio rinner genom staden Santo Domingo, ett litet samhälle beläget i centrala Nicaragua, ca 5 timmars bilresa från huvudstaden Managua. Rio Sucio betyder smutsig flod på Spanska. Floden har fått sitt namn dels för att den innehåller en stor mängd sediment, vilket gett den en brunaktig färg, och dels för att den innehåller stora mängder tungmetaller, The central mountainous region of Nicaragua is an area subjected to heavy environmental pressure due to anthropogenic activities. For over a hundred years mercury has been used in gold mining activities in this area causing pollution of water resources. The lack of infrastructure in this region has made investigations regarding water quality and availability scarce. This work is focused around the
Bats are nocturnal mammals known for their ability to echolocate, yet all bats can see, and most bats of the family Pteropodidae (fruit bats) do not echolocate-instead they rely mainly on vision and olfaction to forage. We investigated whether echolocating bats, given their limited reliance on vision, have poorer spatial resolving power (SRP) than pteropodids and whether tongue click echolocating
Background: In the field of movement disorders, what you see (phenotype) is seldom what you get (genotype). Whereas 1 phenotype was previously associated to 1 gene, the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has facilitated an exponential increase in disease-causing genes and genotype-phenotype correlations, and the "one-phenotype-many-genes" paradigm has become prominent.Objectives: To highli
We study how inheriting parents' credit histories affects the initial credit scores, access to credit, and life cycle borrowing of young individuals entering the credit market. We establish that inherited histories significantly positively affect initial scores, which in turn are very persistent. Inherited histories only affect outcomes through initial credit scores, which then have significant pe
Oats (Avena sativa) are a versatile cereal crop cultivated worldwide. Accounting for 2% of global grain production, they rank as the seventh most important cereal. Approximately 23 million tonnes of oat grain is produced annually, with the majority stemming from spring-sown cultivars in Canada, Russia, and Northern Europe. Although used mostly for animal feed, oats have increased in their populariOats (Avena sativa) is a versatile crop grown worldwide for animal feed and human consumption. Humanoat consumption has recently risen due to its various health benefits. However, oats are susceptible toFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by various Fusarium fungi. FHB reduces yield and leads to mycotoxinaccumulation. The most commonly reported mycotoxins in oat are trichothecenes deoxynivalenol (DO
Abstract på portugisiska As línguas diferem umas das outras em relação a se, e, como, elas categorizam nomes a partir de critérios lexicais e gramaticais específicos. Um exemplo bastante estudado é a distinção entre nomes contáveis e massivos, que divide os nomes de acordo com sua capacidade de serem contados ou medidos. Comparações entre as línguas sobre esse sistema de categorização nominal mostLanguages differ with respect to if and how they categorize their nouns based on specific lexical or grammatical criteria. A well-studied example is the mass/count distinction, which groups nouns according to their ability to be counted or measured. Cross-linguistic comparison on this noun-categorization system provided evidence that the mass/count distinction is not a reflection of pre-linguistic
