The orientation of four species of passerine long-distance migrants was studied in spring and autumn by orientation cage experiments during the twilight period after sunset in Sweden. Two groups of migrants from the Palaearctic-African migration system were used: migrants wintering mainly north of the magnetic equator in west Africa (pied flycatcher, Ficedula hypoleuca, and redstart, Phoenicurus p

This paper discusses the social security systems in China and Vietnam as descriptive examples of developments of social welfare models in changing Asian contexts. It seeks to develop a methodological approach, which will enable analyses of overarching “macro” developments as well as individual experiences thereof. The main objective is to discuss the possibilities of a comparative analysis of soci

During Subzero project there were observed some differences between different manikins. In order to study the differences closer complementary measurements were carried out on 2 manikins representing male and female body shapes. Comparison was carried out based on: • tight versus loose clothing; • serial versus parallel calculation model; • even versus uneven clothing (insulation) distribution; •

Background Transcriptional regulation of the genes in metabolic pathways is a highly successful strategy, which is virtually universal in microorganisms. The lac operon of E. coli is but one example of how enzyme and transporter production can be made conditional on the presence of a nutrient to catabolize. Methodology With a minimalist model of metabolism, cell growth and transcriptional regula

Abstract in Uncoded languages Tarptautiniai klimato kaitos susitarimai ir Europos Sąjungos teisės aktai veikia skirtingus valdymo lygmenis, įskaitant nacionalines teisės sistemas ir administravimo modelius. Disertacijoje iškeltas tyrimo klausimas – Kaip Lietuva, konkrečiai pramonės sektorius, įgyvendina šiltnamio efektą sukeliančių dujų (toliau – ŠESD) emisijų mažinimo reikalavimus, nustatytus Kio

Popular Abstract in Swedish I inledningen till avhandlingen görs tre viktiga antaganden som sedan kommer att ligga till grund för all vidare argumentering; (i) för det första görs ett (i sammanhanget kontroversiellt) ontologiskt antagande. Det antas att troper (dvs. partikulära egenskaper) existerar; (ii) för det andra antas (återigen kontroversiellt) att troper är det enda som existerar (åtminstoThe treatise attempts to approach and deal with some of the most fundamental problems facing anyone who wishes to uphold some version of the so-called theory of tropes. Three assumptions serve as a basis for the investigation: (i) tropes (i.e. particular properties) exist, (ii) only tropes exist (that is, tropes are the only basic or fundamental kinds of entities), and (iii) a one-category trope-t

This paper is a part of a doctoral study named “Leadership in a crisis”. This paper proposes a way to a) measure the human talent leadership and b) training the ability for leadership, regarding individuals as well as leadership teams. The same simulation should be used for measuring and training. The simulation system uses intelligent agents based on HLA, IEEE 1516, for easy scaling, interoperabi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Maken, partnern eller sambon är en individ och samtidigt del av en gemenskap. Konflikten mellan dessa olika roller har givit upphov till ett heterogent system av rättsnormer. I boken beskrivs den fasta egendomens och den gemensamma bostadens behandling och därmed sammanhängande regler, både under äktenskapet, partnerskapet eller samboförhållandet och vid dessa relationeThis dissertation gives a description of the regulation of marriage, registered partnership and cohabitation - emphazising the joint dwelling - in the perspective of two basic normative patterns, on one side community and on the other financial independence/individual ownership, trying to explain the differences and similarities between the regulations. The content of the legal regulation is, furt

Drawing on a critical reading of framings which position public relations as a discipline concerned with ‘reputation management’ this study examines the implications of the dynamic tensions between projected organisational reputation and reputation constructed by a network of stakeholders, and builds a framework for the first stringent, academic definition of ‘curation’ that allows a nuanced under

Management scholars have long separated the study of opportunity creation and discovery, assuming that the nature of opportunities itself is not affected by information acquisition. Research on judgment and decision-making challenges this assumption, confirming that we judge the nature of opportunities in large part by the way we acquire information about it. Management theorists have yet to diges

The world of coastal fisheries is full of tensions and conflicts. On the public arena, professional fishing is often associated with the overtaxing of resources, unsustainable harvest practices and blame-games among actors. But fisheries are also upheld by boundary crossings, situated knowledge and relational work. Through the coexistence of such different patterns of rationality places are made.

Unsupported vanadium antimonate catalysts with Sb/V ratios of 1 and 5 and samples with the latter ratio supported on alumina were studied in toluene and propane ammoxidation to benzonitrile and acrylonitrile, respectively, and were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis before and after catalytic tests. Activity data for toluene ammoxidation suggest that excess antimony w

Abstract This paper offers a new description and explanation of morphological agreement, argument-verb agreement in particular. The hypothesis explored is that argument-verb agreement is directly related to selection of arguments (s-selection), i.e. s-selectional features are in fact ф-features ([PERSON, NUMBER(, GENDER)], and that morphological argument-verb agreement mirrors this relation. Call

Batch management systems are traditionally composed of two subparts, one assuring the creation and configuration of the recipes, and the other assuring the execution of the recipes, i.e., driving the equipments to make a product. By reducing the total time needed for producing a product, the market can be reached quicker and more money can (hopefully) be earned. Time to market is an important key

Optimization is becoming a standard methodology in many engineering disciplines to improve products and processes. The need for optimization is driven by factors such as increased costs for raw materials and stricter environmental regulations as well as a general need to meet increased competition. As model-based design processes are being used increasingly in industry, the prerequisites for optim

In the effort to separate pedestrian and bicycle traffic from motorised traffic the solution often is to let the pedestrians and bicyclists share space. However, combined pedestrian and bicycle paths lead to problems for both pedestrians and bicyclists; for pedestrians it is a security and safety problem and for bicyclists a mobility problem. Seniors and visually impaired pedestrians are especiall

This thesis presents a new technique to prove the convergence of finite difference methods applied to nonlinear Systems arising in computational fluid dynamics. The underlying Systems are either hyperbolic such as the Euler equations or mixed hyperbolic-parabolic like the Navier-Stokes equations. We analyze implicit finite-difference methods. As the argument is based on the concept of consistency
