By utilising the effect of interfacial curvature on the freezing-point of liquids confined in capillaries, it is in principle possible to determine a pore-size distribution, from the curve of freezing-point against volume frozen. The method is formally similar to capillary condensation methods based on the Kelvin equation. Suitable experimental techniques are described. A comparison with the resul
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has recently classified occupational exposure as a firefighter as carcinogenic (group 1A). Even though the occupation of firefighter is associated with high exposure to pollutants, it is challenging to carry out exposure studies to assess health risks due to the extreme conditions associated with firefighting. Routine monitoring of occupational expos
At the Museum of World Culture (former Etnografiska Museet i Göteborg) there is an archaeological collection from the Santa Maria and Calchaqui Valleys of north-western Argentina, which came to the museum in 1930. In this article we will focus on six well-preserved objects with provenience from Quilmes and La Quebrada del Carmen in the Santa Maria Valley. In addition to the good conservation of th
Age estimation based on the dentition of animal remains is one of the most important methods used for analysis of the demography of past as well as contemporary animal populations by zooarchaeologists and wild game biologists (Wagenknecht 1967; Silver 1969; Morris 1972; Wilson et al. 1982). By constructing age profiles from faunal remains it is possible to study hunting of wild boar and pig husban
Att uppskatta lövyteindex med satellitdata Vegetation har unika spektrala egenskaper som kan användas inom fjärranalys för att få information om viktiga ekologiska parametrar, som t.ex löyteindex (eng. leaf area index, LAI, lövyta per markenhet). LAI styr många ekologiska processer som fotosyntes och transpiration. Med hjälp av satellitbilder kan man uppskatta LAI i stor skala. Vegetation absorLeaf area index, LAI, is an important biophysical parameter in ecological modeling. It is the ratio of leaf area per unit ground area. To obtain LAI over large areas in a fast and convenient way the use of satellite data is important. Aim of the project was to determine if there is a relationship between LAI and red-, NIR reflectance and a couple of vegetation indices: Global Environment Monitorin
