Pervaporation offers solutions for a wide range of applications ranging from the dehydration of organic compounds to the recovery of organic compounds from water and the separation of organic mixtures. While the combination of pervaporation and distillation in a hybrid process to break azeotropes is well established on an industrial scale, successful applications of hydrophobic pervaporation are r
Route search requires a useful and accurate algorithm to calculate the distance between two objects, especially on a round surface such as the earth. This algorithm provides a considerable circle distance between two locations on a non-flat surface. The distance of the two objects is determined based on longitude and latitude. Haversine is an algorithm that can determine the distance between two o
Gastric bypass surgery improves type 2 diabetes, but the weight loss independent mechanisms remain elusive. We set out to unravel a potential benefi cial role of gastric bypass surgery on islets of Langerhans. Eight week old male C57Bl/6 mice were fed a high fat diet (60% kcal fat) for 14 weeks and subsequently subjected to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB; n=16). Weight matched (WMS; n=13) and pair
Travel guidebooks are both travel information channels and objects of consumption. In contemporary tourism, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) make information abundant and mostly free of charge. Therefore, as tourists still buy them, there must be something that makes guidebooks a valuable object. This research aims at understanding the value of travel guidebooks in the digital age.
The purpose of this paper is to enhance our understanding of the notions and conceptual foundations of assurance in the standard setting arena. This will facilitate an informed discussion of the challenges and the role of assurance within an increasingly complex and fragmented corporate reporting regulatory landscape. The study draws on relevant literature on sustainability assurance and an analys
The diversity of genetic and non-genetic processes that make offspring resemble their parents are increasingly well understood. In addition to genetic inheritance, parent-offspring similarity is affected by epigenetic, behavioural and cultural mechanisms that collectively can be referred to as non-genetic inheritance. Given the generality of the Price equation as a description of evolutionary chan
The first ab initio aspherical structure refinement against experimental X-ray structure factors for polypeptides and proteins using a fragmentation approach to break up the protein into residues and solvent, thereby speeding up quantum-crystallographic Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) calculations, is described. It it found that the geometric and atomic displacement parameters from the new fragHAR
Net primary production (NPP) is modeled for a coniferous forest in southern Sweden for 2001. The model is based on the light-use efficiency concept where NPP is calculated as a product of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) and a light-use efficiency factor (ε). APAR is estimated from the fraction of APAR (FAPAR) multiplied with the daily total amount of incoming PAR. FAPAR is obta
