The density of roots is an important factor influencing the rate and magnitude of landslides. Due to the increased variability in climate, mainly rainfall, Eastern Uganda is severely struck by an increasing number of these mass movements, often with human casualties as one of the negative impacts. The aim of this study is to explore the possibility to estimate the depth and density of the root sys
Daily smokers and heavy drinkers develop two to four times more complications after major as well as minor surgery. Increased postoperative morbidity is probably due to tobacco and alcohol-related organ dysfunctions which are, however, reversible during abstinence. Preoperative smoking cessation intervention for six to eight weeks significantly reduces postoperative complications after knee and hi
In this chapter, a detailed review of the current understanding of the physical processes of droplet breakup in a high-pressure homogenizer (HPH) is presented, covering breakup mechanisms by laminar shear in the gap inlet and its boundary layers, by local turbulence in the gap exit jet, and by cavitation. Experimental evidence of the effects of homogenization pressure, Thoma number, dispersed and
Mnemonic discrimination, the ability to distinguish similar events in memory, relies on subregions in the human medial temporal lobes (MTLs). Tau pathology is frequently found within the MTL of older adults and therefore likely to affect mnemonic discrimination, even in healthy older individuals. The MTL subregions that are known to be affected early by tau pathology, the perirhinal-transentorhina
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, mitochondrial structure, and biomechanical tissue support in the isolated porcine retina.Methods: Full-thickness retinal sheets were isolated from adult porcine eyes. Retinas were cultured for 2 or 48 h using (1) a previously established low-support explant protocol with photoreceptors
We study a semilinear elliptic equation of the form−Δu+u=f(x,u),u∈H^1_0(Ω),wheref is continuous, odd in u and satisfies some (subcritical) growth conditions. The domain Ω⊂R^N is supposed to be an unbounded domain (N≥3). We introduce a class of domains, called strongly asymptotically contractive, and show that for such domains Ω, the equation has infinitely many solutions.
This study analyses walking in three different city districts to see if there is any difference in walking that can be related to the structure of the district. The three districts analysed vary in structure, with one of them being historical, while the others being built in the 1970’s. With the help of travel data, walking in the three districts are analysed regarding trip distance, distribution
Lateralization is the functional specialization to use one brain hemisphere to carry out certain cognitive tasks. Lateralization is widespread across numerous taxa and gives the organism the possibility to increase neural capacity without increasing brain size. The degree and direction of lateralization varies within populations, suggesting that there also are disadvantages to being lateralized. H
En av orsakerna till att näringslivets olika parter har svårt att se sin egen relevans och styrka i det brottsförebyggande arbetet handlar inte bara om den specifika verktygslåda de har till sitt förfogande, utan om det sätt både de och vi har kommit att tänka på och förstå vad som definierar det brottsförebyggande. Med andra ord verkar en huvudorsak till att många företagare uppfattar sig som "pr
We present a wall-to-wall map of dominant tree species in Swedish forests accompanied by pixel-level uncertainty estimates. The tree species classification is based on spatiotemporal metrics derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite data, combined with field observations from the Swedish National Forest Inventory and auxiliary data on geomorphometry and canopy height. We apply an extreme g
