The archaeological excavation carried out in 1988 by the University of Málaga’s Area of Prehistory in the surrounding area of the Viera dolmen identified significant evidence of settlement and funerary practices in Antiquity. In the framework of the Research Project “Societies, Territories and Landscapes in the Prehistory of the Lands of Antequera (Málaga)” (2013-2018) a systematic study of the ma
This chapter argues that encouraging teachers to strive towards civic professionalism is the key to equipping music schools with the tools to align with societal changes. All of the case descriptions highlight the practical use of inter-professional collaboration across sectors in problem-solving, this being one possible element in realising civic professionalism in practice. Social innovations ca
TEMA: URBAN BIODIVERSITET Stadsmiljöns värde för pollinatörer beror av både utformningen av staden och kvaliteten på de gröna miljöerna. I bästa fall kan städer vara ett viktigt komplement till naturen runt om för den regionala mångfalden av bin, särskilt genom villaträdgårdarna. Vi har undersökt bin, blomflugor och fjärilar och hur de trivs i staden jämfört med i den omkringliggande landsbygden.
High-temperature oxidation of acetylene (C2H2) is studied behind reflected shock waves and in laminar flames. Atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy (ARAS) is employed to record oxygen atom concentration profiles for the mixture of 10 ppm C2H2 + 10 ppm N2O + argon and temperatures from 1688 K to 3179 K, extending the range of such data available from the literature. Laminar burning velocity of C
Using a new sample environment, the two operando surface diagnostic techniques two-dimensional surface optical reflection (2D-SOR) and polarization-modulated infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) have been combined with mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize a catalytic reaction. With both techniques integrated in a custom-built setup, we can correlate molecular information of the
The length of the growing season for deciduous trees in temperate and boreal forests is determined by the timing of bud burst and autumn senescence. It is generally assumed that a warmer climate leads to a longer growing season due to earlier bud burst and delayed autumn senescence and thereby increased gross primary production (GPP) of forests. In this study, we analysed past (1873–1951) and curr
The yearly, total (dry+wet) deposition of inorganic nitrogen (inorg-N) to Norway spruce forests was estimated with a full spatial coverage over Sweden for a twenty-year period, 2001–2020, based on combined measurements with Teflon string samplers, throughfall deposition and bulk deposition to the open field. The results were based on a novel method to apply estimates of the dry deposition based on
ARCA (Archive of Archaeological Contexts in its Spanish acronym) is an on-line database created by the Research Group ATLAS (HUM-694) of the University of Sevilla (Spain). This database includes 2,300 records of archaeological sites located within the autonomous regions of Andalusia and Extremadura. A very significant part of this information (almost 1,500 records) corresponds to the Lands of Ante
Error estimation and data fusion are critical to improving the accuracy of global model- and satellite-based precipitation products for practical applications. However, they face challenges over vast areas of the world due to limited ground observations. Triple collocation (TC) method can overcome this limitation and provide an efficient way for error estimation without the “ground truth” and thus
The main aim of this project is to understand how European colonial activity influenced environmental and cultural transformations in this region of the Indian Ocean (Seetah 2010) by targeting specific locations (Figure 2), incorporating slave, indentured and imperial sites, as well as sites with high eco-archaeological potential. Establishing base-line soil conditions formed the focus of the firs
Examining the role of color in mate choice without testing what colors the study animal is capable of seeing can lead to ill-posed hypotheses and erroneous conclusions. Here, we test the seemingly reasonable assumption that the sexually dimorphic red coloration of the male jumping spider Saitis barbipes is distinguishable, by females, from adjacent black color patches. Using microspectrophotometry
NTRU is a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem that has been selected as one of the Round III finalists at the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization. Compressing the key sizes to increase efficiency has been a long-standing open question for lattice-based cryptosystems. In this paper we provide a solution to three seemingly opposite demands for NTRU cryptosystem: compress the key size, i
The characteristics of the stellar populations in the Galactic bulge info and constrain the Milky Way's foation and evolution. The metal-poor population is particularly important in light of cosmological silations, which predict that some of the oldest stars in the Galaxy now reside in its centre. The metal-poor bulge appears to consist of ltiple stellar populations that require dynamical analyses
Icy pebbles may play an important role in planet foation close to the water ice line of protoplanetary discs. There, dust coagulation is more efficient and recondensation of vapour on pebbles may enhance their growth outside the ice line. Previous theoretical studies showed that disruption of icy pebbles due to sublimation increases the growth rate of pebbles inside and outside the ice line, by fr
In order to maximise profit and sustainability of a mining operation, knowledge of the chemistry, mineralogy, texture, and structure of the ore is essential. Continuous advancements in analytical techniques enable studying these features with increasing detail. Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence is unparalleled in its simultaneously high spatial resolution and detection range. Yet, its appli
