There is a need for further studies to compare the decomposition of biochar to that of the original feedstock and determine how these amendments affect the cycling of native organic matter (NOM) of different soils to improve our understanding of the resulting net C sequestration potential. A 510-days incubation experiment was conducted (i) to investigate the evolution of CO2 from soils amended wit

Studying the evaporation process and its link to the atmospheric circulation is central for a better understanding of the feedbacks between the surface water components and the atmosphere. In this study, we use 5 months of deuterium excess (d) measurements at the hourly to daily timescale from a cavity ring-down laser spectrometer to characterise the evaporation source of low-level continental wat

Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 6q25.1, near the ESR1 gene, have been implicated in the susceptibility to breast cancer for Asian (rs2046210) and European women (rs9397435). A genome-wide association study in Europeans identified two further breast cancer susceptibility variants: rs11249433 at 1p11.2 and rs999737 in RAD51L1 at 14q24.1. Although previously identified breast cancer sus

Recently, the lineage hTURDUS2 of Haemoproteus minutus (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) was reported to cause mortality in captive parrots. This parasite lineage is widespread and prevalent in the blackbird Turdus merula throughout its entire distribution range. Species identity of other closely related lineages recently reported in dead parrots remains unclear, but will be important to determine fo

The Swedish Mongol Mission (SMM) was an ecumenical union active mostly among Mongols in Outer and Inner Mongolia between 1897 and 1945. SMM were to establish five stations at the borders of the Gobi Desert from 1908 to 1944. The stations were Hallong Osso, Goltjaggan, Dojen, Hatt in Sum, situated in Inner Mongolia and Urga (in present Ulan Bator) situated in Outer Mongolia. In 1950 the activities

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det här arbetet handlar om simuleringar av porösa material och transportfenomen vid en mesoskopisk längdskala, det vill säga en längdskala större än en enskild atom men mindre än att alla atomer beter sig som en kontinuerlig enhet. De porösa material som har studerats är membran som används i bränsleceller. Masstransport har även studerats i membranet. Värme- och masstrThe topic of this work is simulations of porous materials and transport phenomena at a mesoscopic length scale, i.e., a length scale larger than an individual atom but smaller than the continuum. The porous material studied is a membrane used in fuel cells. Mass transfer has also been studied in the membrane. Heat and mass transfer has been studied in parallel plate channels, first in saturated ch

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med den utförda forskningen var att öka förståelsen för hur variabiliteten hos styrkevärden i trä påverkar tillförlitligheten hos en träkonstruktion. Jämfört med andra byggnadsmaterial som tex stål och betong har trä markant högre variabilitet i styrke- och styvhetsegenskaper både mellan och inom element. I byggnadsnormer tar man generellt inte hänsyn till The main purpose of the performed research presented in this thesis is to increase the understanding of the effect of variability of strength properties on the reliability of timber structural systems. Compared to other structural materials such as steel and concrete, structural timber has a considerably higher variability of strength both within and between members. The advantage of the low proba

Individuals as consumers in the EU and the U.S. are increasingly utilizing data collecting solutions on a daily basis to benefit from smart and efficient lifestyles. By providing personal data directly or indirectly to data service providers, processors or controllers; commercial actors have advantageous possibilities to track, obtain, process, monitor, transmit, and store personal data to improve

For many years, critics of the European Union copyright framework have raised concerns about the lack of legal recognition of exceptions and limitations to copyright-protected works and other protected subject matter, and argued that the European Union copyright framework favours the protection of intellectual property over fundamental rights. The debate about this imbalance reached new heights wh

Travel on railway in Sweden has increased steadily over the past three decades and there are today twice as many passengers travelling by train as there were 30 years ago. The increasing awareness of environmental issues with other methods of transportation is likely to favour railway travel, and so the number of passengers is expected to continue to rise. As the number of passengers increase, so

We are living on the edge! The edge of the built and natural environment, the edge of water and land and the edge of times... We live with the notion that we are not part of nature, but above it. We view nature as a conglomeration of resources available for our consumption, rather than the place that gives us life. For many years, nature gave us everything we needed and more, but nothing really la

Today, we are creating and building more than ever. While buildings rise from the horizon, the consumption of building materials increases massively. More than 22% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from the consumption of building materials such as concrete, steel, and aluminum, etc. 55% of embodied carbon in a conventional building is in the structure and substructure (Smedley, 2019). Hence

Data-driven optimering en succé för skärande bearbetning Optimeringsmetod från maskininlärning mycket lovande vid användning för komplexa processer inom skärande bearbetning En otrolig mängd av industriell tillverkning idag förlitar sig på ett till synes enkelt koncept, att forma metall genom svarvning eller fräsning. Skärande bearbetning letar sin väg in i många industrier och alla sätt att ökThe purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of data-driven experimental design for the optimization of a hard coating for cutting tools in metal machining. The complexity of metal machining leads to difficulty in theoretically modeling and understanding the interactions and correlations between parameters and performance. Because of this and the importance of incremental perform

In recent years, low-cost flights to smaller cities in Central and Eastern Europe grew fast. This growth offered tourists new possibilities to explore new, lesser-known destinations at a low price. At the same time, urban tourism is a common strategy for urban regeneration and development in Central and Eastern Europe, and therefore, a significant factor of the economic restructuring of Post-Socia

Metodutveckling för analys av cellulärt upptag av nanopartiklar Cancer är idag en utbredd sjukdom som tusentals människor världen över diagnostiseras för dagligen. Möjligheterna att få en korrekt behandling ökar om tumörer upptäcks i ett tidigt skede tidigt vilket ger en större chans att tillfriskna. Men detta har visat sig vara en utmaning då nuvarande metoder som används inte är av tillräckligAbstract MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, is used for disease detection such as assessing blood flow, detecting tumours and diagnosing many forms of cancer. Contrast agents are chemical substances that increase the MRI sensitivity. One class of contrast agents are the so called nanoparticulate contrast agents. Since tumour-associated formation of new blood vessels often results in highly permeab

In the district of Hyllie in Malmö, Granitor Properties are building a new block called Embassy of Sharing, which is designed focusing on Agenda 2030. Within the block, the city of Malmö is planning to open a new municipal branch library. The library is expected to collaborate with Granitor Properties and be a part of the sharing economy within the block. The purpose of our thesis is to contribut

Nanoparticles have gained considerable attention in the last decades, especially in the medical field. The nanoparticles could enter our bodies from anywhere in the surrounding environment and interact with objects in our biological fluids. However, there is little knowledge about this process. The protein competes for the nanoparticle's surface area, forming “corona” made of different proteinNanoparticles are small particles that the human eye cannot detect. They are particles of matter that are found in the natural world and created as a consequence of human activity. For a particle to be classified as a nanoparticle, it should have a diameter between 1 and 100 nm, larger particles up to 500 nm could be also classified as nanoparticles. Their submicroscopic size allows them to have d
