This book describes the Department of Physical Geography at Lund University from 1880 to 2000. It focuses on the staff and the development of Geography from its beginnings as a branch of History in 1880 through a period of traditional Geography up to 1948, when the subject was divided into two branches: physical Geography and Human and Economic Geography. Finally, the subject developed into a mode

Building on work of Williams,Wieler proved that every irreducible Smale space with totally disconnected stable sets can be realized via a stationary inverse limit. Using this result, the first and fourth listed authors of the present paper showed that the stable C∗-algebra associated to such a Smale space can be obtained from a stationary inductive limit of a Fell algebra. Its spectrum is typicall

Many Streptococcus pyogenes immunoglobulin-binding proteins have structural similarities to the antiphagocytic M protein, including the well-known C repeats. One of these molecules is the immunoglobulin A-binding protein Arp, which is expressed by a serotype 4 strain for which no antiphagocytic M protein has yet been described. We expressed Arp4 in an S. pyogenes strain from which the structural g

Every day, throughout the world, people put huge quantities of food out at feeding stations for birds and other wild animals.Although we know that connecting with nature benefits human health and wellbeing, scientists still know relatively little about the consequences of providing food for wildlife. My team’s most recent research, however, has found that feeding garden birds in wintertime seems t

Introduction The relationship between the right to freedom of expression and the prevention of terrorism is particularly fraught. On the one hand, in climates and contexts where there is a heightened risk of terrorist activities being perpetrated, States' authorities often argue that it is necessary to restrict freedom of expression. The reasons presented vary from the need to criminalize inciteme

Introduction The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes all categories of human rights in one and the same instrument. The same approach has been followed in many subsequent human rights treaties, including, for example, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter). However, the two Covenants of 1966 – the Internatio

We present the widespread Ewald summation method in a new light by utilizing a truncated Gaussian screening charge distribution. This choice entails an exact formalism, also as particle mesh Ewald, which in practice is not always the case when using a Gaussian screening function. The presented approach reduces the number of dependent parameters compared to a Gaussian and, for an infinite reciproca

The diffusion of digital technologies has strongly affected the way scholars and researchers use and perceive the archaeological information detected during the field investigation process. Archaeologists are still only beginning to realize the full potential of these applications beyond the attraction of providing visually engaging documentation and focus on the analytical and interpretive power.

This chapter deals with the depictions of movement of violence in key narratives in Roman historiography.

In the humanitarian aid context, the availability of essential commodities in the right quantities and at the right time and place is crucial for the survival of beneficiaries. In order to avoid the risks associated with a limited supplier base, non-profit organizations are increasingly becoming aware of the need to diversify their supply base and to include the for profit, or corporate sector.
