Two different rainfall-runoff models are applied to river basins in northern Sweden and Finland to study the effect of changed climate on peak flows. Hypothetical meteorological data series are constructed by increasing observed values by given amounts and fractions. In a Swedish moderately large basin snowmelt and daily precipitation were considered, and in two small Finnish basins, hourly precip
The mass spectra from the SF6 molecule acquired by energy-resolved electron ion coincidence (EREICO) technique using (1t1g + [5t1u,1t2u]), (3eg + 1t2g), 4t1u, and 5a1g electrons after both valence and S 2p−1 6a1g core excitation reveal a strong selectivity in the dissociation from these states. From the comparison of the obtained spectra, the influence of the core-excited state in the relaxation p
Human x mouse hybridoma cells were grown in dialysis tubing (DT) to obtain large quantities of human monoclonal antibodies (MAb). Hybridoma cells were grown inside the DT, which was placed in a tissue culture flask containing medium. The medium inside the DT was supplemented with different additives which may be selected depending on the intended use of the MAb. About 10-50 times higher concentrat
Scientific performance is often evaluated by bibliometric indicators such as publication counts or citations. But this may neglect other relevant outputs from research units. An optimal evaluation would measure each dimension separately, but this would be costly. Luckily, cluster analyses show that units which specialise in other types of research activities (such as knowledge transfer or educatio
In mitoplasts from Arum maculatum spadices, succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) and the alternative, cyanide-resistant oxidase activity (measured as m-chlorobenzhydroxamic acid-sensitive duroquinol oxidation) was unaffected by treatment with trypsin. In contrast, when 85% inside-out submitochondrial particles were treated with trypsin the alternative oxidase activity was inhibited by about 50% a
Entrenchment of multi-word sequences is known to shape native language competence, but there is debate about how (much) it affects L2 speakers. We investigate advanced English learners’ receptive processing of multi-word sequences with a word-monitoring experiment. The effect of reduction on recognition of the word to was tested in English V-to-Vinf constructions of varying surface frequencies and
This chapter foregrounds the fictional and factual relations that inform contemporary human-animal entanglements in manga and anime through the series One Piece. The epic journey of the ‘Straw Hat Crew’ in search for freedom and empowerment is characterised by its multispecies cast, subversive themes, and social commentary. However, by examining its depictions of gender and multispecies relations
Topological superconductors are appealing building blocks for robust and reliable quantum information processing. Most platforms for engineering topological superconductivity rely on a combination of superconductors, materials with intrinsic strong spin-orbit coupling, and external magnetic fields, detrimental for superconductivity. We propose a setup where a conventional Josephson junction is lin
Evidence suggests that separate spheres gender norms discourage girls from maths. We therefore examine a policy that counteracts such norms among parents, and investigate whether it increases girls' participation in maths-intensive studies. Specifically, we examine a parental leave reform that reserved one month of leave for fathers, and estimate its effect on children's study choices. We find tha
We study how co-creation practices influence explorative and exploitative learning in five collaborative construction projects with partnering arrangements. Drawing on a longitudinal case study, our findings reveal two different types of explorative learning processes (i.e., adaptation and radical development) and three different exploitative learning processes (i.e., incremental development, know
The debate around whether or not torture can be morally justified have been intense ever since September 11, 2001, and gained further actuality as the Obama administration in the U.S. released documents concerning interrogational techniques used by the C.I.A. In this chapter, I examine the notion of torture often used in these debates, within the field of academic philosophy as well as in the publ
