This chapter raises issues and ideas for exploring resilience, stemming from various research disciplines, projected on the domain of air traffic management and aviation at interconnected system levels. Attempts are made to connect micro, meso, and macro levels in the aviation sector identifying corresponding research challenges. Examples of this ongoing research are given on how theory has alread
Acetaldehyde is a hazardous pollutant found in indoor and ambient air. Acetaldehyde photolysis is pressure- and wavelength-dependent with three distinct product channels. In this study, the photolysis rates of CH3CHO, CD3CDO, and CD3CHO are studied in natural tropospheric conditions using long path FTIR spectroscopy, at the European Photoreactor Facility (EUPHORE) in Valencia, Spain. The average r
We provide evidence that centromere-specific 155 bp DNA repeats terminate one pair of telomeres at the telocentric, left end of the short fourth chromosome in Chironomus pallidivittatus. Earlier evidence indicated that all other telomeres are terminated by 340 bp telomere-specific repeats. DNA that borders the 155 bp repeat contains a transcriptionally active 396 codon open reading frame (ORF) a f
We present a study of a novel variant of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) called the Associative Self-Organizing Map (A-SOM). The A-SOM is similar to the SOM and thus develops a representation of its input space, but in addition it also learns to associate its activity with the activity of one or several external SOMs. The A-SOM has relevance in e.g. the modelling of expectations in one modality due
The problem of recovering scene structure and camera motion from images has a number of inherent ambiguities. In this paper, configurations of points and cameras are analyzed for which the image points alone are insufficient to recover the scene geometry uniquely. Such configurations are said to be critical. For two views, it is well-known that a configuration is critical only if the two camera ce
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) provide hope as a potential regenerative therapy for neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injury. Currently, ESC-based nervous system repair faces several problems. One major hurdle is related to problems in generating large and defined populations of the desired types of neurons from human ESCs (hESCs). Moreover, survival of grafted hESC-
Syftet med uppsatsen är att fördjupa förståelsen av hur familjeföretag kan lyckas under successionsprocessen genom att illustrera en framgångsrik succession i ett familjeföretag i Sverige. För att nå syftet genomfördes en kvalitativ studie i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studien har haft en socialkonstruktionistiskt och tolkande utgångspunkt. Studien är baserad på tidigare forskning om famThe purpose of this paper is to deepen the understanding of how family businesses can succeed in the process of succession by illustrating a successful succession within a family business in Sweden. In order to reach the paper’s purpose, a qualitative study was conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews. The study has adopted a social constructionist and interpretive approach. The study i
De allmänna principerna inom avtalsrätten har aldrig varit ett hinder för parter som ingår avtal elektroniskt. Digitaliseringen har utvecklats och gett upphov till nya sätt att effektivisera processerna för att ingå avtal, t.ex. möjligheten för parter att ingå avtal utan inbladning av någon juridisk representant. Det senaste steget i denna utveckling kallas smarta kontrakt som tillämpas genom så k
The existence of infinite periodic lipid bilayer structures in biological systems was first demonstrated in cell membrane assemblies. Such periodicity is only possible in symmetric bilayers, and their occurrence is discussed here in relation to the asymmetry of cell membranes in vivo. A periodic membrane conformation in the prolamellar body of plants corresponds to a dormant state without photosyn
This essay is a comparative study the role of class actors in Kenya's independence movement and democratic transition in 2002. The concept of social class in an African context is explored in order to develop Berins Collier's theory of working class and elite actors in democratic transition. What roles the actors played, their motivations and arena of action are analysed in both transition
