The extent of remediation of contaminated industrial sites depends on spatial heterogeneity of contaminant concentration and spatially explicit risk characterization. We used sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) and indicator kriging (IK) to describe the spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pH, electric conductivity, particle aggregate distribution, water holding capaci
We extend our earlier work on the massive O(N) non-linear sigma model to other observables. We derive expressions at leading order in the large N expansion at all orders in the loop expansion for the decay constant, vacuum expectation value, meson meson scattering and the scalar and vector form factors. This is done using cactus diagram resummation using a generalized gap equation and other recurs
The African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) is one of Africa's most endangered species and therefore classified as endangered by IUCN. Earlier distributions included most of Africa but currently the African wild dog only has populations larger than 300 individuals in three countries (Botswana, Tanzania and South Africa). In 1998, a plan was launched in South Africa to manage sub-populations of the Africa
The paper examines the ways in which states facilitate 'new enclosures' of natural resources, and the challenges of this as a strategy of development and environmental sustainability. We argue that enclosures introduce significant changes in property regimes, which redefine conditions for the access and control of land and forest, especially for tribal and indigenous communities. In this context,
A common type of inhalation medicine uses a dry powder formulation where the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is attached on the surface of carrier particles, often in combination with additional components. The spatial distribution of the API on the carrier particle is critical for the release into the lungs and thus for the efficacy of the drug. In this work, we use ToF-SIMS imaging in com
It is by now a common trope that youth climate activism has become a ‘global phenomenon’. Yet, it also has significant regional variations. This literature review analyses eighteen academic articles on the topic of youth climate activism in Asia. We found that the literature from Asia overall had ambitions to contextualise and nuance international scholarship on youth climate activism. This was ac
17 kap. 3 § rättegångsbalken (RB) omgärdas av omfattande begrepps- och teoribildning. Som exempel har det skrivit tre svenska avhandlingar som har bestämmelsen som huvudtema. När det kommer skiljeförfaranden enligt lagen (1999:116) om skiljeförfarande (LSF) är det en omdebatterad fråga i vad mån tvistemålsprocessens begrepps- och teoribildning bör tillämpas analogt. LSF har ingen uttrycklig bestäm
Det ena syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka skillnaderna mellan den offentliga och den privata sektorn ifråga om arbetstagares kritikrätt. Det andra syftet är att undersöka konsekvenserna för denna rättighet av en dom från Europadomstolen, Fuentes Bobo mot Spanien. Offentligt anställda har en grundlagsskyddad yttrandefrihet, som kan utnyttjas i princip i vilken situation som helst. Begränsni
This study investigates the role of political journalism in EU constitution-making. More specifically, we ask whether political journalists take an active role in shaping public preferences and opinion on European integration. An analytical framework is developed distinguishing between the critical and the representative function of media opinion-making. Journalists are found to interfere with the

The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 11(6):567–585 1989), it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite number of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very intuitive int

Abstract in UndeterminedThe Base of the Pyramid (BoP) consists of about two-fifths of the world population. This population can be categorized as poor with income of less than 2 dollars per day. It is important to alleviate poverty. One of the promising approaches to tackle the wicked problem of poverty is business development combined with poverty alleviation. In this approach, integrated solutio
