The impact of climate and emissions changes on the deposition of reactive nitrogen (Nr) over Europe was studied using four offline regional chemistry transport models (CTMs) driven by the same global projection of future climate over the period 2000-2050. Anthropogenic emissions for the years 2005 and 2050 were used for simulations of both present and future periods in order to isolate the impact
Single crystals of a new ternary phase, Ca7Ag2+xGe7-x [x = 0.48(3)], were obtained from as side-product of high-temperature solid-state reactions, and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Following the Zintl concept, the anionic substructure consists of a novel pentameric Zintl anion [Ge-5](12-) with C-2v local symmetry, as well as [AgxGe2-x]((6-3x)-) units accounting for
Problemformulering: Hur ser informationsflödet mellan leverantör och entreprenör ut och vilka icke värdeskapande aktiviteter finns idag kopplade till en bristfällig leveransplanering? Kan dessa aktiviteter reduceras med befintligt systemet eller finns önskemål att ändra eller ta fram en helt annan typ av system? Syfte: Att ge läsaren en god inblick i hur det arbetars med materialförsörjning på enProblem: This study examines problems in the Construction supply chain. Most industries have already included use of assistive technology in their daily work and I will research if it is possible to implement a system for delivery planning in the construction industry to reduce non-value adding activities. A system designed for construction delivery planning has been developed. In order to grow an

In such audits the taxable’s accounting and other materials are compared against the information that has been submi
Calculated triplet excited state potential energy surfaces are presented for a set of three bis-tridentate Ru(II)-polypyridyl dies covering a wide range of room temperature excited state lifetimes: [Ru(II)(tpy)(2)](2+), 250 ps; [Ru(II)(bmp)(2)](2+), 15 ns; and [Ru(II)(dqp)(2)](2+), 3 mu s (tpy is 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine, bmp is 6-(2-picoly1)-2,2'-bipyridine, and dqp is 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)Fridin
Popular Abstract in Swedish De ökande kraven på högre datahastigheter inom trådlös kommunikation ställer allt högre krav på både radiosändare och mottagare, då dessa behöver utnyttja fler frekvensband med större bandbredd vid högre frekvenser. Fokus i denna avhandling ligger på högfrekvensdelen av radiomottagaren, som består av lågbrusförstärkare, blandare, och oscillatorer vid mikrovågsfrekvenserThe increasing demand for high data rates in wireless communication systems is increasing the requirements on the transceiver front-ends, as they are pushed to utilize more and wider bands at higher frequencies. The work in this thesis is focused on receiver front-ends composed of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Mixers, and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) operating at microwave frequencies. Tra
A key unanswered question in smooth muscle biology is whether phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) is sufficient for regulation of contraction, or if thin-filament-based regulatory systems also contribute to this process. To address this issue, the endogenous RLC was extracted from single smooth muscle cells and replaced with either a thiophosphorylated RLC or a mutant RLC (T
Due to decreased functional capacity as well as high environmental demands there is a risk of diminishing activity outside home in very old age (age 80+). In order to explore differences according to functional limitations (FL) among very old people with respect to frequency of activity, perceived health, overall perception of neighbourhood environment, and perceived problems in the pedestrian env
There are still divergent opinions regarding the pharmacodynamic effects of ketamine on the brain. In this study, the cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRO2) and electroencephalographic (EEG) activity were sequentially assessed over 80 min in 17 normoventilated pigs following rapid i.v. infusions of anaesthetic (10.0 mg.kg-1; n = 7) or subanaesthetic (2.0 mg.kg-1; n =
Recent developments in European energy policy reveal an increasing interest in implementing the so-called ‘Tradable White Certificate’ (TWC) schemes to improve energy efficiency. Based on three evaluation criteria (cost-effectiveness, environmental effectiveness and distributional equity) this paper analyses the implications of implementing a European-wide TWC scheme targeting the household and co
Severe conditions and lack of cure for many amyloid diseases make it highly desired to understand the underlying principles of formation of fibrillar aggregates (amyloid). Here, amyloid formation from peptides was studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Systems of 20, 50, 100, 200 or 500 hexapeptides were simulated. Association kinetics were modeled equal for fibrillar and other (inter- and intra-p
The climate impact of new cars in Sweden 2009 has been evaluated by the Swedish Transport Administration. Their report takes into account reduction factors to attribute the positive impact of renewable fuels on CO2 emissions. The Swedish Transport Administration recommends the public to buy cars that can run on biofuels. Besides acknowledging prevailing uncertainties for many of the input paramete
One of the most important factors governing durability of concrete structures is reinforcement corrosion, and to prevent degradation associated with it, it is desirable to use large concrete covers. However, if the concrete cover is increased, the majority of design methods will predict that the crack widths at the concrete surface increase significantly. This can be contradictory, since the same
In a warming climate, mercury (Hg) pathways in the Arctic can be expected to be affected. The Hg transport from the high arctic Zackenberg River Basin was assessed in 2009 in order to describe and estimate the mercury transported from land to the marine environment. A total of 95 water samples were acquired and filtered (0.4 mu m pore size), and Hg concentrations were determined in both the filter
Gas phase reactions at elevated temperatures are versatile tools for material manufacturing and energy conversion. They are of great commercial interest, but they often entail hazardous impacts on the environment. There is consequently a pronounced need for the further develpment of processes utilising these types of reactions. Spectroscopic methods, especially when combined with lasers, are idea
In the early 1990s, Indonesia was seen as one of the post war success stories. The country was boasting an impressive growth record and had seen the number of poor continuously decline. This picture of Indonesia stood in stark contrast to the situation only 30 years earlier when the economy was in a shambles and starvation was a real threat. At the core of this change in Indonesia lies the transfo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Företag konkurrerar med varandra i strävan efter att nå den högsta lönsamheten. En mängd frågor måste tas under övervägande för att nå ett sådant mål - beslut angående produkter, marknader, kunder och, ej att förglömma, organisation måste fattas. När det gäller organisation kan ett företag välja mellan att själv göra en särskild produkt och att köpa den från ett annat fFirms compete with each other to earn the highest profit. A wide range of issues needs to be considered in order to do so – decisions about products, markets, customers and, not to forget, organisation have to be made. Concerning organisation, a business firm can choose to make a particular thing (a good or service) by itself or to buy it from someone else. The decision determines the way in which
