The future evolution of global ice sheets under anthropogenic greenhouse forcing and its impact on the climate system, including the regional climate of the ice sheets, are investigated with a comprehensive earth system model consisting of a coupled Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Model, a dynamic vegetation model and an ice sheet model. The simulated control climate is realistic enough to pe
Mercury (Hg) is regarded as a major environmental concern in many regions, traditionally because of high concentrations in freshwater fish, and now also because of potential toxic effects on soil microflora. The predominant source of Hg in most watersheds is atmospheric deposition, which has increased 2- to >20-fold over the past centuries. A promising approach for supporting current European effo
With cyber-physical systems opening to the outside world, security can no longer be considered a secondary issue. One of the key aspects in security of cyber-phyiscal systems is to deal with intrusions. In this paper, we highlight the several unique properties of control applications in cyber-physical systems. Using these unique properties, we propose a systematic intrusion-damage assessment and m
A Circular Economy (CE) calls for the value of materials and products to be maintained and recovered through narrowing, closing, and slowing loops. However, there remain challenges in moving up the waste hierarchy and not only recycling materials from products, but also capturing value through reuse of components in refurbished and repaired products. In this paper, we examine the practice of “harv
This report describes how the work has been conducted in the project “A National Strategy for Standardisation of Digital Information Management within the BuiltEnvironment” (further on denoted NSS). This report describes the project background, aim, objective, methodology, schedule, organisation, and identified areas and processes that have been the basis for the development of the initial three-y
In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign in underground subway environments is introduced. The downlink signals in an in-service UMTS network are collected in the subway carriage by using an Universal Software-defined Radio Peripheral (USRP) equipment and used to extract the channel impulse responses (CIRs) between a user equipment and UMTS stations. A high-resolution parame
Desalination is an important method and cost effective for producing potable water and is a rapidly growing technology worldwide. According to the International Desalination Association, IDA data base the amount of desalinated water soon will reach the 100 MCM per day, which means double of this amount (200 MCM/day) is called brine discharge or rejected amount. In this study, we planned to follow
This paper describes the assessment of the cost efficiency of risk mitigation measures for terrorist attacks with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) for an iconic bridge structure. The assessment is performed with a decision theoretical framework building upon very recent advances in the framework of the COST Action TU1402 on Quantifying the Value of Structural Heath Monitoring. The decision scen
This study considers the spread, character and development of the Swedish Enlightenment from the early Age of Liberty to the late Karl lohan period. This is done in six case studies three of them biographical and three of them of a more general character partly concerned with the history of concepts; all six case studies touch on the writers' world in the period. Chapter 1, "Dawn", discusses, aft
From the point of view of each individual’s sense-making, an organization is an emergent property of inter-individual sense-making processes and activities. The organization is a result of emergence from individual sense-making perspectives. A critically informed approach to research involves recognition / understanding of this emergence. Without the recognition of the uniqueness of each particula
Popular Abstract in Danish Genterapi er en attraktiv terapiform mod neurologiske lidelser som Parkinsons sygdom og epilepsi af flere grunde. Gener med en terapeutisk effekt kan introduceres lokalt ved præcise injektioner i det syge væv, hvor genproduktet kan frigives fra nerveceller i respons til aktivitet i det omgivende væv. Ved genterapi omgås den forhindring som blod-hjernebarrieren udgør, ligGene therapy is an attractive strategy for neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, for several reasons. Introduction of genes with a therapeutic potential can be achieved locally, by accurate injections in the compromised tissue, and release of a transgene therapeutic substance can be regulated by the surrounding host neural circuitry. The gene therapy approach circumvent
The formation of planetary cores must proceed rapidly in order for the giant planets to accrete their gaseous envelopes before the dissipation of the protoplanetary gas disc (less than or similar to 3 Myr). In orbits beyond 10 AU, direct accumulation of planetesimals by the cores is too slow. Fragments of planetesimals could be accreted faster, but planetesimals are likely too large for fragmentat
We proposed a 4×8 array antenna with aperture-coupled patch antenna elements. The antenna was designed for 60 GHz operation and fabrication on the low-temperature cofired ceramic(LTCC) substrate(εr=5.8). The feedline with the stub was designed to enhance the radiating element bandwidth and the transition characteristics between the waveguide (WG) and microstrip line(MSL). Through the optimization

The new combination Crocynia glaucescen
En arbetsmiljö är både fysisk och psykosocial. Den fysiska delen är enkel att överblicka eftersom den är objektiv, medan den psykosociala är lite mer komplicerad då den är subjektiv och personer uppfattar den olika. I uppsatsen utreds begreppet psykosocial arbetsmiljö för att ge en förståelse för dess innebörd och relevans till ämnet. Kränkande särbehandling är det begrepp som används i svensk rätA work environment is both physical and psychosocial. The physical part is easy to overlook because it is objective, while the psychosocial is a bit more complicated since it is subjective and people perceive the differently. In the essay the concept of psychosocial work environment is examined in order to provide an understanding of its meaning and relevance to the subject. Victimization is the c
Enligt nyligen publicerade vetenskapliga rapporter blir planeten varmare i en takt aldrig tidigare skådad. Om inte utsläppen av växthusgaser minskas kraftigt så kommer temperaturmålet på 1,5 °C som fastställdes i Parisavtalet att överskridas. Även om alla påverkas av klimatförändringar på ett eller annat sätt så är barn särskilt sårbara för effekterna. Unga generationer idag kommer också att få taAccording to recently published scientific reports, the planet is getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. The temperature goal of 1,5°C set in the Paris Agreement will be exceeded unless deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are made. While everyone feels the effects of climate change, children are particularly vulnerable to them and will also be left with the impacts for a longer time. Con
Ett förändrat klimat som en funktion av den pågående globala uppvärmningen kan i Sverige komma att leda till en ökning av naturkatastrofer i form av bland annat skred. Längs Norsälven i Värmland har det vid flera tidigare tillfällen inträffat skred och området har nu valts ut av Statens Geotekniska Institut (SGI) för att under 2013-2014 användas som ett pilotprojekt inom ett regeringsuppdrag för sThe oncoming climate change due to the progressing global warming may in Sweden lead to an increase in natural disasters, among other e.g. in the form of landslides. Alongside the river Norsälven in Värmland there has on several occasions occurred landslides and this area has now been selected by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI) to be used during the period 2013-2014 for a pilot project fo
Omkring en tredjedel av alla sammanlevande par i Sverige idag är sambor och omfattas därigenom av sambolagen. Sambolagens huvudsyfte är att tillhandahålla ett minimiskydd till den svagare parten när samboförhållandet upplöses. I och med att samboförhållandena ökar i antal varar allt fler samboförhållanden längre, till och med livet ut. Mot bakgrund av detta är uppsatsens mål att behandla vilket efAbout one third of all couples in Sweden today are cohabitants and therefore subject to the Cohabitees Act. The purpose of the Cohabitees Act is to provide minimum protection for the weaker party when a cohabitee relationship ends. Due to the fact that cohabitee relationships are increasing in number, more cohabitee relationships are lasting longer, some even for life. Considering this, the object
