This book provides important insights into the domain of interactions between language and cognition, focusing on SPACE and expressions of SPACE. Both literal and metaphorical forms of expression are included. The research reported is carried out within the broad framework of Cognitive Linguistics, which encompasses a wide variety of empirical methods and research topics. Our approach to the const

The injury risk for bus passengers is low compared to car users. However, bus passengers also run the risk of sustaining injuries as vulnerable road users: as pedestrians or cyclists to and from the bus stop. Among vulnerable road users, seniors are a particularly important group. Hitherto, injury data have mainly been based on police-reported accidents. These accidents reveal bus occupant safety,

We have fabricated a device in which hollow nanowires (HNWs) lying on a glass surface are connected to microfluidic channels for the purpose of guiding DNA and to characterize the fluidic properties of our HNWs. The dimensions of our HNWs (inner diameter 10-80 nm, outer diameter 50-200 nm and length several μm) can be made on a scale much smaller than the size of a cell and on the same order of ma

Large eddy simulations (LES) and experiments (planar laser-induced fluorescence of the hydroxyl radical (OH-PLIF) and pressure transducer) have been carried out on a gas turbine burner fitted to an atmospheric combustion rig. This burner, from the Siemens SGT-800 gas turbine, is a low NOx, partially premixed burner, where preheat air temperature, flame temperature, and pressure drop across the bur

Denna studie syftar till att preliminärt utvärdera förändringar i risken för cyanobakteriella blomningar i en eutrof sjö, Vombsjön, som ligger i södra Sverige och testa hur näringsämnen (fosfor och kväve) påverkar algväxten. Ytvatten som sjöar har stor betydelse för dricksvattenförsörjningen, till exempel hälften av dricksvattnet i Sverige är från ytvatten. Enligt riskmatrisen har Vombsjön en storThis study aims to preliminarily evaluate changes in the risk of cyanobacterial blooms in a eutrophic lake, Lake Vombsjön, in the southern Sweden and test the role of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in algae formation. Surface water such as lakes service great importance for drinking water supply, such as half of the drinking water in Sweden is from surface water. According to risk matrix, Lak

Energy used in buildings is responsible for more than 40% of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the EU and their share in cost-efficient GHG mitigation potentials is estimated to be even higher. In spite of its huge savings potential of up to 80%, achievements are very slow in the building sector and much stronger political action seems to be needed. One important step in thi
