This paper deals with the problem of reconstructing the locations of a number of points in space from three different images taken by uncalibrated cameras. It is assumed that the correspondences between the points in the different images are known. In the case of six points this paper shows that there are in general three solutions to the problem of determining the shape of the object, but some of
During the past 10 years, the European Commission has funded numerous dedicated research projects in the field of land degradation and desertification which focussed on data collection in specific field sites, detailed methodological studies, assessment and monitoring experiments, and the development of specific modelling concepts. Although substantial scientific progress has been achieved and som
This paper provides an extensive analysis of the demand for alcohol in terms of total quantity and quantity subdivided into frequency and intensity demand. The analysis compares across alcohol types (beer, wine and spirits), alcohol drinking pattern (average drinker vs. binge drinkers) and also how these decisions differ across gender. The analysis is based on a large sample of cross-sectional dat
Directions are given for demonstrating various topics from the other book chapters: The wave-nature of light, singlet oxygen, chromatic adaptation of cyanobacteria, the properties of the human visual system, photoconversion of rhodopsin, photosynthesis of previtamin D, spectral properties of chlorophyll, photoconversion of protochlorophyllide, separation of chloroplast pigments, photoadaptation of
While an exit tax regime satisfies principles like fiscal sovereignty, fiscal territoriality, source and benefit as well as it can find justification in them at a national level, other conflicting issues arise. For instance, from the perspective of an individual, this can lead to double taxation when the Host State does not accept a step-up or deduction for the value on which taxes have already be
Tillsammans med klimatförändringar och omfattande överfiske utgör IUU-fiske (olagligt, orapporterat och oreglerat fiske) ett allvarligt hot mot den marina biodiversiteten globalt. En särskilt drabbad region är Västafrika, där kuststater historiskt har haft rikliga fiskeresurser inom sina exklusiva ekonomiska zoner (EEZ) i Atlanten. Den ökande förekomsten av industriellt fiske, till stor del represExacerbated by climate change and general overfishing, illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing poses a serious threat to marine biodiversity globally. One particularly affected region is West Africa, where coastal States have historically possessed abundant fishing resources within their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) in the Atlantic Ocean. The reliance on industrial-scale fishing, lar
This thesis examines the literary space of Macondo and its transformation due to external national influences in One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) by Gabriel García Márquez. A case study is conducted of three key episodes in Macondo’s increasing contact with the state. The objective of the study is to analyze their respective spatial logics as a basis of the production and transformation of Mac
Neutralitetskonceptet växte fram under en tid då konflikter mellan länder fortfarande var en regional angelägenhet. Idag har kollektiva säkerhetssystemet i FN-stadgan konverterat dessa konflikter till en global angelägenhet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka korrelationen mellan neutralitetslagstiftningen och FN-stadgan och hur detta påverkar neutrala stater inom FN. Frågeställningen är i viThe concept of neutrality emerged at a time when conflicts between states were still regional matters. Today the system of collective security within the UN Charter has converted these conflicts into a global issue. The purpose of this essay is to examine the correlation between the law of neutrality and the Charter of the United Nations and how this affects the neutral member states of the Unit
Research has shown that positive evaluations of home are important for very old people’s health, well-being and independence in daily life. The rationale for the present study derives from our survey study findings, confirming such associations also in a younger cohort (N = 371). The purpose of this study was to further increase the understanding of the dynamics of meaning of home and health among
Local adaptation in hermaphrodite species can be based on a variety of fitness components, including survival, as well as both female and male sex-functions within individuals. When selection via female and male fitness components varies spatially (e.g. due to environmental heterogeneity), local adaptation will depend, in part, on variation in selection through each fitness component, and the exte
Seeds from two commercial bean varieties were cooked and stored for different times and analysed for chemical composition and in vitro starch digestibility. Parallel portions of cooked seeds were dried at 55°C, milled and stored as flours. In general, protein and ash contents in both samples did not change with storage time, but statistical differences were shown between the two varieties (p < 0.0
The main advantages of polymer gears in comparison to metal gears are low manufacturing costs for mass production, vibration damping and no need for lubricant. In the literature and guidelines, the allowable gear endurance limits for bending and contact stresses are mainly given for polyamides (PA) and polyacetals (POM). The large number of suitable polymer gear materials is available, but the sta
Despite efforts to integrate BIM and BEM, challenges persist, including incomplete data, errors, and the need for manual corrections, all hindering the implementation of sustainable building designs. Professionals in the Swedish architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry have yet to fully adopt standardized practices for exchanging BIM and BEM data. This article explores the challe
In the Swedish context, ‘intergenerational Collaborative Housing’ and ‘Collaborative Housing for the second half of life’ (CH2L), based on the self-work model, were developed in the 1980s and 1990s. The chapter examines how ageing individuals developed caring practices and mutual support strategies in these collective housing forms and how such practices were adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this work, we explore Higgs boson decays into dark matter (DM) within the context of the freeze-in mechanism under stronger coupling scenarios. Our analysis focuses on scalar DM candidates interacting through the Higgs portal, where the coupling strength can be significant without establishing thermal equilibrium, owing to a suppressed reheating temperature. We find that for DM masses as low as
