We present Ar-40/Ar-39 data acquired by infra-red (CO2) laser step-heating of alunite crystals from the large Miocene Colquijirca district in central Peru. Combined with previously published data, our results show that a long (at least 1.3 My) and complex period of magmatic-hydrothermal activity associated with epithermal Au-(Ag) mineralization and base metal, Cordilleran ores took place at Colqui
Background: Previous studies support a role of oxygen-free radicals in the development of congestive heart failure (CHF). The aim of this study was to investigate whether lipid peroxidation is increased in CHF patients on modem pharmacological therapy and whether there is a positive correlation between plasma levels of markers of lipid peroxidation and severity of heart failure (HF). Plasma malond
The post-failure convergence of the shortest path routing (SPR) protocols used in IP networks can be too slow to meet the restrictive requirements (i.e., maximum allowable delay, jitter, etc.) of the multimedia services and therefore new restoration mechanisms combined with IP routing are of interest. The paper addresses optimization of three potential rerouting mechanisms based on the IP fast rer
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur man studerar kommunikation hos tallsteklar Totalt finns det cirka 125 beskrivna tallstekelarter i världen. De tillhör gruppen växtsteklar, och deras larver lever vanligen av tallbarr. Larvernas härjningar kan medföra att träden växer sämre eller rent av dör. Den färdiga stekeln äter inget, utan är helt inriktad på att para sig under sitt 10 –15 dagar korta liv i skPine sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) are severe pine defoliators. This thesis investigated sawfly behaviour related to the use of pheromones in integrated pest management, including monitoring with pheromone traps and mating disruption. Neodiprion sertiferr females were placed on pine twigs in the field and 11–30 % of the females that remained on their twig after the first mating re-mated. Onl
With today’s rapid changes in socio-economy and technology, knowledge and learning are critical issues for private and civil service organizations. The needs for competence development range from short informal courses (without ECTS credits) to formal courses at university level (with ECTS credits). This article describes objectives and results of a Leonardo project, eGIS+ that developed and imple
This document describes the field- and driving simulator experiments carried out within Work-package 3.2 (Evaluation of in-car speed limiters). In both the field study and the simulator experiment positive effects of the speed limiter were found in terms of large speed reductions (particularly in urban areas), reduced speed variance and better speed adaptation on critical places (approaches, curve
Syftet med detta arbete är att söka klarhet i hur förekomsten av brottsprovokation ska hanteras i de nationella domstolarna för att inte kränka art. 6 EKMR, som ska tillförsäkra den enskilde rätten till en rättvis rättegång.

Horses have a great social, cultural and economic importance in society and contribute to the open landscape. There are currently more than 360,000 horses in Sweden, which together produce over 2.7 million tons of manure per year. This represents 10% of the total amount of manure from all livestock in the country. Most horses are found in urban or near-urban rural areas, which means that there is
The infringement of intellectual property rights has devastating effects on trade, the free circulation of goods, employment, development and public health. Rights holders and the companies legitimately exploiting them are the main parties injured by this and in the last few years, infringement has increased by more than 1000%. The Commission has fought against such infringement since the eighties

Sammanfattning En stor del av svensk handel går ut på att distribuera och sälja varor. Ett företag kan välja att distribuera varor självt, alternativt ingå samarbete med annan part.

Vid en skilsmässa är det ofta osäkert och oklart hur parterna ska göra med boende fram till dess bodelning sker. I många fall flyttar ena maken från den gemensamma bostaden och den andra bor kvar. Maken som flyttar har vanligtvis kostnader för det nya boendet samtidigt som denne måste fortsätta betala de löpande kostnaderna för det gamla, gemensamma boendet. Frågan som uppkommer är då om den kvarbAt a divorce there is often a level of uncertainty to how the parties are going to structure their living situation until the estate division.

Det finns två krav som ska tas i beaktande när olika metoder mot skatteflykt utformas, rättssäkerhet och effektivitet. Sambandet mellan legalitetsprincipen och rättssäkerheten är starkt. Legalitetsprincipen sägs ha uppkommit för att rättstillämpningen ska vara förutsebar och fri från godtycke. Dessa två värden är en stor del av rättssäkerhetsbegreppet och det sägs därför att legalitetsprincipen ärThere are two requirements that must be considered when different methods against Tax Evasion are being designed, the rule of law and efficiency. The relationship between the principle of legality and the rule of law is strong. The principle of legality is said to have incurred in order to make the legal purpose predictable and free from arbitrariness. These two components are a big part of the ru
