Sufficiency has long been marginalized in the public and political sustainability discourse. Since attempts to reduce CO2 emissions in the long term have so far fallen short of expectations, sufficiency has recently approached the forefront of scientific and social debates about a »good life«. In addition to a strict reduction target, the sufficiency strategy promises psychological well-being and

We used eddy-covariance (EC) measurements of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) above canopy to assess the effects of thinning on CO2 fluxes at the ICOS Sweden site Norunda in central Sweden. This forest site consists of mixed pine and spruce stands approx. 100 years old. The thinning during late autumn 2008, performed in a semicircle from the mast extending 200m outwards harvested about 25% of the voluWe used eddy-covariance (EC) measurements of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) above canopy to assess the effects of thinning on CO2 fluxes at the ICOS Sweden site Norunda in central Sweden.

We investigate the formation mechanism responsible for two specific systems of mesoporous silicas formed with the so-called co-structure directing agent (CSDA) route. The synthesis relies on the interactions between silica source (tetraethylorthosilicate, TEOS), surfactants and CSDA. The structures of the mesoporous silica materials were investigated mainly by small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD),

Mesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats. The rats were killed after 5, 10, 20 and 240 min, and serum and different organs were analysed for radioactivity of different lipid classes. 3H and 14C in the triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) f

In gas turbine engine, nickel base alloy, such as Alloy 718, accounts for almost half of the total material requirement. Nickel-base superalloys are used for gas turbine components mainly because of their outstanding strength and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures (> 550°C). The massive cost involved with the machining of nickel alloys has driven continued research and development of cut

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is capable of direct electron transfer (DET) on various carbon and thiol-modified gold electrodes. As a result, these systems have been utilized as biocatalyst in biosensors and biofuel cell anodes. Class I CDHs, from basidiomycetous fungi, are highly specific to cellulose or lactose, and DET is only observed at pH values below 5.5. To extend the applicability of CDH

The present study reports on the comparison of direct and mediated electron transfer pathways in the interaction of the fungal enzyme cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) with the redox protein cytochrome c (cyt c) immobilised at a modified gold electrode surface. Two types of CDHs were chosen for this investigation: a basidiomycete (white rot) CDH from Trametes villosa and a recently discovered ascomyc

Jan did his PhD in Forecasting ecosystem functions and services under global change, from 2013 to 2018 as part of the Department of physical Geography and Ecosystem services (INES). During his studies, he used ecosystem modeling to study how ecosystem processes are impacted by climate change and nitrogen intensification.   After completing his PhD, Jan took on a research assistant role at the GIS
