The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate
Genom att skapa och använda ett ramverk för att undersöka avgöranden från Mark- och miljööverdomstolen har jag analyserat om partiskhet är ett relevant skäl för domstolen att inte lita på partssakkunnig i miljöprocessen. Underlag för analysen är ett stort antal rättsfall från Mark- och miljööverdomstolen där argumentation om partiskhet förekommer. Det finns anledning att skilja mellan två olika sä
This thesis investigates the ability of retailers to communicate sustainable products through sustainability marketing. Sustainable products are defined as products that "make a contribution to the solution of socio-ecological problems" (Belz, 2005). Whereas traditional marketing aims at increasing business revenues, sustainability marketing aims at reaching sustainability and business g
This study was performed using daily spot prices, from January 1997 through July 2004; of the three assets that constitute the crack spread i.e. crude oil, gasoline and heating oil - all listed on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Our objective has been to characterize the dynamics of the spread and subsequently create trading strategies to yield returns that surpass that of a passive appr
This paper presents research on the vocabulary used in textbooks for language courses in Italian for beginners. The goal of the research was to find out if there is any difference in vocabulary between textbooks written for a Swedish target audience on the one hand, and a target audience living in Italy on the other hand, and also what consequences, if any, these differences might have. The
The formation of smooth quasi-periodic patterns in static discrete reaction-diffusion systems of various kinds is here studied from a mathematical point of view. The regularity of the patterns can be attributed to the integrability of the system, so that, when searching for such patterns in a system, it is important to investigate whether or not there exist any conserved quantities. The work prese
Library and information science (LIS), being a research area characterized by theoretical discord and definition disarray, provides an interesting field of inquiry. Its content, boundaries, scope and superior identity are not clearly stated. This Master s thesis focuses on a thus far unexplored perspective on the discipline: a conceivable statistic and causes- and- effect relationship between the
Background: Melanoma is a type of superficial tumor. As advanced melanoma has a poor prognosis, early detection and therapy are essential to reduce melanoma-related deaths. To that end, there is a need to develop a quantitative method for diagnosing melanoma. This paper reports the development of such a diagnostic system using hyperspectral data (HSD) and a convolutional neural network, which is a
We report on J/psi production from asymmetric Cu + Au heavy-ion collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at both forward (Cu-going direction) and backward (Au-going direction) rapidities. The nuclear modification of J/psi yields in Cu + Au collisions in the Au-going direction is found to be comparable to that inAu + Au collisions when plotted as a function of the nu
Cytochrome c oxidase encoded by multiple mitochondrial genes (COXI, COXII, and COXIII) and nuclear genes is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen by reduced cytochrome c. Subunits COXI and COXII of cytochrome c oxidase are known to play the most essential role in proton pumping and electron transfer. In this study we screened
In a population-based, matched, case-control study from southern Sweden of 571 patients with a first diagnosis of cutaneous malignant melanoma and 913 healthy controls aged 16-80 years, the association between sunbed use and malignant melanoma was evaluated. A total of 250 (44%) cases and 372 (41%) controls reported ever having used sunbeds. A significantly elevated odds ratio for developing malig
Pollinators are important drivers of floral trait evolution, yet plant populations are not always perfectly adapted to their pollinators. Such apparent maladaptation may result from conflicting selection through male and female sexual functions in hermaphrodites. We studied sex-specific mating patterns and phenotypic selection on floral traits in Aconitum gymnandrum. After genotyping 1786 offsprin
The present communication concerns factors, the application of which may contribute to reduce the transfer rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including geomedical aspects. The factors elaborated on are, e.g. maternal health care, sexual education early in life, health prevention programmes and sexual risk reduction counselling of commercial sex workers, screening activities as well as
Background: Previous studies have focused on weight maintenance following weight loss, i.e. secondary weight maintenance (SWM). The long-term results of SWM have been rather modest and it has been suggested that preventing initial weight gain, i.e. primary weight maintenance (PWM), may be more successful. Therefore, developing a prevention strategy focused on PWM, enabling normal weight or overwei
A small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) set-up has recently been developed at beamline I711 at the MAX II storage ring in Lund (Sweden). An overview of the required modifications is presented here together with a number of application examples. The accessible q range in a SAXS experiment is 0.009-0.3 A(-1) for the standard set-up but depends on the sample-to-detector distance, detector offset, beams
The mixing process in a Lightnin Series 45 static mixer, 40 mm in diameter, has been investigated using computational fluid dynamics and the volume of fluid (VOF) method, a method developed for immiscible fluids but here used for miscible. The mixing process was investigated for two liquids that had viscosities ranging from 0.003 to 51.2 Pa s, and the volumetric flow rate proportion between the li
