Abstract in UndeterminedThe dynamics of agglomeration externalities along the life cycle of industries, Regional Studies. This paper investigates the changing roles of agglomeration externalities along the industry life cycle. It is argued that industries have different agglomeration needs in different stages of their life cycles because their mode of competition, innovation intensity, and learnin
Free heterogeneous argon-krypton clusters have been produced by coexpansion and investigated by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. By examining cluster surface and bulk binding energy shifts, relative intensities, and peak widths, we show that in the mixed argon-krypton clusters the krypton atoms favor the bulk and argon atoms are pushed to the surface. Furthermore, we show that krypton at
The use of algae as a feedstock for the production of advanced biofuels has tremendous potential because of its short growth cycle, high productivity, lack of competition for agricultural lands, ability to use a variety of water sources and recycle CO2 and nutrient emissions, and compatibility with existing fuels chains with minimum process changes. However, to make significant contributions to bi
Contemporary debates on sustainability usually relies on standardised and normative categories, such as ‘social’ and ‘nature’, and on linear notions of time. This study explores a more complex perspective on the delicate borderlands between the ‘un-sustainable’ and the ‘sustainable’. A particular material and a particular place stand at the centre of attention: woollen Merino fibre on the South Am
Familial risks for histopathology-specific cancers have not been determined. We used the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database on 10.2 million individuals and 1 million tumors to calculate standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for familial cancers of specific histology and morphology among 0- to 66-year-old offspring. We used histology codes for both offspring and parents, but because of the li
Universitetsledningens staber är ett samlingsnamn för verksamheterna: Universitetsledningens stab och Utveckling. Kansliet för USV & LUKOM ingår i Utveckling. Kontaktinformation finns under respektive avdelning.The Offices of the Vice-Chancellor is an umbrella term covering the following offices: the Office of the Vice-Chancellor and the Strategic Development Office. The office of the University’s Specialised Centres (USV) and Lund University’s Cultural and Public Centres (LUKOM) is part of the Strategic Development Office. Contact information can be found under the respective office.
We consider the problem of seeking the maximum of a scalar signal using a swarm of autonomous vehicles equipped with sensors that can take point measurements of the signal. Vehicles are not able to measure their current position or to communicate with each other. Our approach induces the vehicles to perform a biased random walk inspired by bacterial chemotaxis and controlled by a stochastic hybrid
In the wake of the deterioration of relations between modern Russia and Poland, the Katyn memorial has become a scene for the contestation of historical memory. In order to play down the 1940 executions of Polish military officers in Katyn, the Russian government has granted belated official recognition to 8,000 victims of Stalinism in the Smolensk region. After being brushed under the carpet in t
Introduction: Few studies have investigated overall satisfaction with prostheses fabricated using low-cost technology. Evidence-based recommendations for prosthetic and orthotic services in low-income countries are needed in order to more effectively provide services. Detailed analysis of variables which influence patient satisfaction with assistive devices are therefore of interest to investigate
Here are proposed different studies carried out by the Laboratorio di Archeologia e Storia Ambientale of Genoa University through the use of a geographical historical microanalitical approach to documentary, field and sedimentary sources. The main aim is the reconstruction of different agri-silvo-pastoral practices and of environmental processes connected to the management of mountain resources wi
Avdelningen Universitetsledningens stab ansvarar för stöd åt universitetsledning och universitetsstyrelse bl a gällande ärendehantering, administrerar rektorssammanträde, rektors ledningsråd, ledningsgrupp, nämnden för utredning av avvikelser från god forskningssed, universitetsförvaltningens ledningsgrupp (UFLG), och gemensamma förvaltningens ledningsgrupp (GFLG). Avdelningen arbetar också bl a mThe Office of the Vice-Chancellor provides support to the University Management and University Board for case management, among other things. The office also administers the vice-chancellor’s meetings and the Vice-Chancellor’s Management Council, the University Management Group, the Deviations from Good Research Practice Review Board, the University Administration Management Group (UFLG), and the
