Sent i oktober 2012 så orsakade orkanen Sandy stor skada på de Karibiska öarna men senare även i USA, New Jersey, då som ett extratropiskt system. Vädersystemet var annorlunda på många vis jämfört med en "normal" orkan med avseende på dess bana, avsaknaden av ett öga och dess enorma storlek. Dessa egenskaper berodde alla på den rådande cirkulationen i den övre troposfären. Det var växelvIn late October 2012 hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage to the islands in the Caribbean Sea and later on (as an extratropical cyclone) to the United States; New Jersey. The system was different in many ways relative to “normal” hurricanes, e.g. its track, its lack of eye at times it was classified as a hurricane and its great size which all partly was due to the prevailing circulations in the

Over the past 30 to 40 years comprehensive fishery policies and certification schemes have attempted to halt the rapid decline and exploitation of commercial fish stocks. However, with seafood as one of the most globalized food commodities and the world’s population increasing exponentially, most commercial stocks are thought to be on the brink of collapse. Some estimates exclaiming that all comme

Monapostrukturen ligger i Nampula provinsen i norra Moçambique, och utgör en del av Mocambique bältet. Strukturen är ca 35-40 km i diameter och har en mycket låg topografi. Trots detta syns den väl på satellitbilder och flygfotografier. Relationer mellan samt utbredning av de enskilda bergartsleden är inte helt klarlagd och frågor såsom transportriktning, litostratigrafisk uppdelning samt tektonisThe Monapo Structure is situated in the Nampula Subprovince in northern Moçambique, and makes up a part of the Moçambique Orogenic Belt. It is a 35 x 40 km subcircular structure, with a very flat topography, and it clearly shows up on aerial photos. The regional setting of the Monapo Structure is not yet clearly settled and many questions regarding transportation directions, lithostratigraphic gro

A continuously growing population in the world has resulted in more agricultural activity in arid- and semi-arid areas where it once was harder to cultivate crops. Due to the high evaporation and the lack of rainfall in these areas it is necessary to irrigate the fields. In some areas it has become more and more common to use treated wastewater as an alternative irrigation source. When the soil is

Popular summary: Air quality data mart built in this study consists of historical air pollutant data for cities across Ontario. This data is available at the Ontario ministry of environment website from 2000-2007 for most of the cities. There is missing data for some of the cities and some pollutants as well. It is because the monitoring of those specific pollutants did not commence in or before 2

Europeanization has become a key concept to changes due to transfer of competences to EU level. While extensive research has been performed on institutional dynamics and also on the rise of private interest representation at EU-level, little is said about domestic civil society organizations (CSOs) and their integration in EU politics. By zooming out of Brussels we come to realize that also domest

Background: Previous epidemiologic studies found inconsistent results for the association between red meat intake, nitrosamines [NDMA: N-nitrosodimethylamine, and ENOC (endogenous nitroso compounds)], and the risk of bladder cancer. We investigated the association between red meat consumption, dietary nitrosamines, and heme iron and the risk of bladder cancer among participants of the European Pro

Background: In spite of considerable rice production gains over the past 50 years, Sub-Saharan Africa is becoming increasingly dependent on rice imports as demand is outpacing domestic supply. The serious economic and social strains caused by this have urged national leaders to address production deficits. The aim of this article is to analyse and discuss the drivers behind recent changes in rice

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Prospective cohort studies have indicated that serum vitamin D levels are inversely related to risk of type 2 diabetes. However, such studies cannot determine the source of vitamin D. Therefore, we examined the association of dietary vitamin D intake with incident type 2 diabetes within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-InterAct study in

Production of synthetic vehicle fuels from biomass is a hot topic. There are several alternative fuels to consider when evaluating properties such as cost of production and energy efficiency to both product and final use in a road vehicle. Thermochemical conversion via gasification and downstream synthesis of fuels as well as biochemical conversion of woody biomass to ethanol is considered in this

Background and purpose There is an ongoing need to review large series of total ankle replacements (TARs) for monitoring of changes in practice and their outcome. 4 national registries, including the Swedish Ankle Register, have previously reported their 5-year results. We now present an extended series with a longer follow-up, and with a 10-year survival analysis. Patients and methods Records of

This thesis examines the extent to which lobbyists bring democratic value to the policy-formulation and decision-making stages of the EU policy process. It is examined through a single case study of the amendment of Directive 2001/83/EC. By adopting an actor-centered institutionalism perspective and through theoretical discussion on Robert Keohane, Fritz Scharpf and Pieter Bouwen, this thesis bui

Sammanfattning I detta examensarbete besvarar jag frågan om svenska domännamn har ett immaterialrättsligt skydd. Fråga är intressant av flera aspekter. Rättsområdet är relativt ungt och behovet av domännamn uppstod så sent som i början på 1980-talet. Det nya systemet att adressera datorer på Internet fick namnet Domain Name System (DNS). Utvecklingen och spridningen av Internet har sedan dess variSummary in English In my thesis I answer the question whether any intellectual property rights protect Swedish domain names. This question is interesting due to several aspects. The legal area is relatively young and the demand for domain names occurred as late as in the early 1980s. The new system to address computers on the Internet was named Domain Names System (DNS). The development and distri

Cancer, samlingsnamnet på ett antal sjukdomar med okontrollerad cellväxt, är idag väldigt vanligt förekommande i vårt samhälle. Det finns olika typer av cancer, som alla uppvisar olika symptom, men som ändå har gemensamma kännetecken. En av dessa är hur cancercellerna skapar sin energi vilket, precis som i friska celler, börjar med att sockermolekylen glukos genomgår ett antal reaktioner för att sCancer, a group of diseases with abnormal cell growth, is today very common in our society. There are different forms of cancer, which all display different symptoms, but still have mutual characteristics. One such is the way cancer cells create energy which, like healthy cells, starts with glycolysis of glucose to pyruvate. In healthy cells, with sufficient oxygen supply, the enzyme pyruvate dehy
