Contemporary understanding of the behaviour of surging glaciers and ice streams is hampered by the lack of data on landsystem evolution and sedimentary environments. This study concerns the ice-marginal environment of the surge-type Brúarjökull in Iceland. The sediment distribution in the glacier forefield as well as the morphology, sedimentology and tectonic architecture of the 1890 end moraine i

This dissertation explores and compares the rationalities through which Danish state officials sought to govern the colonized Afro-Caribbean population in the colony of the Danish West Indies and the state’s Danish subjects living in the metropole of Denmark in the period 1770-1900. Theoretically, it relies upon Michel Foucault’s conception of ’governmentality’ and the way this approach to governi

Internet of Things or IoT deployments are becoming more and more common. The list of use-cases for IoT is getting longer and longer, but some examples are smart home appliances and wireless sensor networks. When IoT devices are deployed and used over an extended time, it is not guaranteed that one owner will control the IoT devices over their entire lifetime. If the ownership of an IoT system shal

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are regarded as alternative energy sources because they are environment friendly and deliver no harmful emission. As its reliability and power generating efficiency is largely influenced by the temperature distribution, it is necessary to improve the temperature uniformity which is crucial in PEMFCs. To this end, this numerical study presents an attempt

Conditional random fields were trained to detect marker words for negation and speculation in two corpora belonging to two very different domains: clinical text and consumer review text. For the corpus of clinical text, marker words for speculation and negation were detected with results in line with previously reported interannotator agreement scores. This was also the case for speculation marker

Skin photoprotection is commonly believed to rely on the photochemistry of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI)- and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA)-based eumelanin building blocks. Attempts to elucidate the underlying excited-state relaxation mechanisms have been partly unsuccessful due to the marked instability to oxidation. We report a study of the excited-state deactivation of DHI using ste

Endotoxin exposure is associated with wheeze and asthma morbidity, while early life exposure may reduce risk of allergy and asthma. Unfortunately, it is difficult to compare endotoxin results from different laboratories and environments. We undertook this study to determine if lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) extraction efficiency could account for differences among laboratories. We generated and collect

In 2009, an extensive reform of the Swedish fisheries was implemented. After several decades of regulation based on the principle of fish resource as common property, fish was put in a system of Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs) and released from the state and given to vessel owners. This thesis examines how labour and the implementations of a market-based system in fishing has (re)shaped the

The thesis is regarding communicative urban planning and power relations, applied at a case called Brunnshög. The Brunnshög projects consist of five developing areas located in the north-east of Lund. The projects are pilot projects in communicative urban planning and the intension from the municipality is to involve the citizens and the developers in new ways, other than the traditional ones. T

PowerPoint Presentation FLUXES OF CO2 IN SEMI ARID SUDAN* Introduction Much global carbon cycle research has been focusing on forests, whereas savannas have received less attention [1]. Savanna ecosystems cover a greater area than any forest biome [2] and are due to losses of vegetation and soil organic carbon a potential carbon sink [3, 4]. Taylor and Lloyd [5] estimated that 15% of the annual gl

In recent decades problem of using the finite resource, fossil fuels, as an energy source have caught more and more public attention. The usage of it produces side-products which in long term harms our environment. To combat the usage of such destructive resources, a more sustainable way of creation of energy needs to be implemented, to which scientist have set their eyes on solar cells. Currently

The subwavelength confinement and enhanced electric field created by plasmons allow precise sensing and enhanced light–matter interaction. However, the high frequency and short lifetime of plasmons limit the full potential of this technology. It is crucial to find substitutes and to study their dynamics. Here, we propose an experimental approach allowing the time-domain study of surface phonon pol
