The ADVEX project involved conducting extensive advection measurements at three sites, each with a different topography. One goal of the project was to measure the [CO2] balance under night-time conditions, in an attempt to improve NEE estimates. Four towers were arranged in a square around a main tower, with the sides of the square about 100 m long. Equipped with 16 sonic anemometers and [CO2] sa
Weathering of soil minerals is important for the recovery from acidification and for the sustainability of forestry. However, there is still substantial uncertainty about its absolute rate. This study presents a harmonized comparison of field weathering rates estimated with the mechanistic model PROFILE and the depletion method for 16 intensively sampled soil profiles across Sweden representing di
Flow injection analysis provides a convenient platform for the use of biosensors in the monitoring of bio-processes. A major requirement in bioprocess monitoring is real time information about various process parameters like concentration of products and substrates, flow rates, and injection volumes. Depending on the application, the monitoring requirements vary and this results in a need for diff

För att bilda ett privat aktiebolag i Sverige krävs det att grundarna tillskjuter 25 000 kr, enligt Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551). Det lagstadgade kravet på aktiekapital har främst ansetts varit motiverat med hänsyn till dess funktion som borgenärsskydd, men numera anser den svenska lagstiftaren att det är aktiekapitalets funktion som seriositetsspärr som är av störst betydelse. Mot dessa funktionerTo form a private company in Sweden the founders are required to contribute at least SEK 25,000, according to the Swedish Companies Act. The statutory requirement for share capital has primarily been considered justified with regard to its function as creditor protection, but nowadays the Swedish legislator consider the share capital’s function as a barrier for irresponsible business owners as its

Produktionen av kemikalier på Perstorp AB genererar kontaminerat avloppsvatten som renas i industriparkens egna avloppsreningsverk innan de kan återanvändas till processen igen. Industriparken i Perstorp har villkor från avloppsreningsverket på hur mycket vatten som fabrikerna får släppa ut till avloppsreningsverket.

Uppfattningen är att brottsligheten går ner i åldrarna, blir grövre och att kriminella gäng rekryterar unga personer för att utföra allvarliga brott. Det är enkelt att få intrycket att vi befinner oss i en tid av ökad brottslig-heQuestions about crime are at the top of the agenda among Sweden's politicians and news about the criminal gangs and gun violence dominate headlines.
