A comprehensive survey of event-by-event fluctuations of charged hadron multiplicity in relativistic heavy ions is presented. The survey covers Au+Au collisions at s(NN)=62.4 and 200 GeV, and Cu+Cu collisions at s(NN)=22.5,62.4, and 200 GeV. Fluctuations are measured as a function of collision centrality, transverse mo

Long-term colonic inflammation promotes carcinogenesis and histological abnormalities of the liver, and colorectal tumours frequently arise in a background of dysplasia, a precursor of adenomas. Altered colonic microbiota with an increased proportion of bacteria with pro-inflammatory characteristics, have been implicated in neoplastic progression. The composition of the microbiota can be modified

Background: Tracking small migrant organisms worldwide has been hampered by technological and recovery limitations and sampling bias inherent in exogenous markers. Naturally occurring stable isotopes of H (delta H-2) in feathers provide an alternative intrinsic marker of animal origin due to the predictable spatial linkage to underlying hydrologically driven flow of H isotopes into foodwebs. This

I Zinkgruvan, Sverige, bryts zink, bly och silver ur en stratiform malmkropp. Denna anses vara syngenetiskt avsatt och återfinns i metavulkaniska och metasedimentära bergarter. En förkastning, Knallaförkastningen, delar malmförekomsten i två delar. Den västra delen, Knalla, är kraftigt deformerad medan den östra, Nygruvan, har en väl utvecklad lagring. Stratigrafiskt under Zn-Pb-Ag- malmen i västrAt Zinkgruvan, Sweden, zinc, lead and silver are mined from a stratiform ore body. It is considered syngenetic and situated in metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. A fault, the Knalla fault, separates the Zinkgruvan deposit into two parts. In the western part, Knalla, the ore is severely deformed, whereas in the eastern part, Nygruvan, a distinct layering occurs. In the western part of Knalla,

I Kalkheia, Kristiansand, södra Norge går ett marmorstråk där kalk har brutits från 1826 till 1915. Marmorns mäktighet varierar från 0.5 till 5 meter och stråket kan följas ungefär 700 meter. Området består av amfibolitisk gnejs, granitisk gnejs, marmor och pegmatit. Gnejsen och marmorn har varit horisontella lager som har veckats till en synklinal som lutar mot söder. Denna synklinal är ett parasAt Kalkheia, Kristiansand, southern Norway, a marble layer was mined from 1826 to 1915. The thickness of the marble varies from 0.5 to 5 metres and the layer can be followed for 700 metres. The area consists of amphibolitic gneiss, granitic gneiss, marble and pegmatites. The gneiss and the marble have originally been horizontal layers, later folded to a synclinal dipping 181,18. The synclinal is a

Event är korta tidsintervall som skiljer längre episoder med stabila oceaniska förhållanden från varandra. När cirkulationen i världshaven tillfälligt stängs av under ett event förändras fauna- och bergartssammansättningen, och även isotopförhållandena. Målet med detta arbete har varit att utröna hur de sensiluriska brachiopoderna reagerade på det globalt kända Lau Event. På Gotland omfattar det lThe impact of the Ludfordian Lau Primo-Secundo Event on brachiopods from Gotland has been investigated. About 12 000 individuals were identified from five samples. The results are supplemented by an extensive literature study. On Gotland, the Lau Event spans the Botvide Mbr (uppermost När Fm, upper Hemse Group) and the Eke Fm. It caused extinctions, faunal, sedimentary and isotopic changes. Conodo

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Huvudsyftet med detta examensarbete har varit att dokumentera samt jämföra skånska sandstenar med västgötska sandstenar avsatta under kambrium (ca 570 - 500 miljoner år). De skånska lagren utgörs till stor del av 120 meter sandsten och de västgötska av ca 35 meter. Sandstenen består huvudsakligen av kvartskorn och kallas därför kvartsitisk sandsten. Under kambThe Lower Cambrian strata of the Caledonian foreland of southern Sweden consist mainly of quartzitic sandstones with thicknesses of approximately 35 meters in Västergötland and 120 meters in Skåne. In the distal, moderately buried western members of the File Haidar Formation of Västergötand porosity and permeability was higher than in the proximal deeply buried units of the Hardeberga Formation of

Southern Africa is a global hotspot for hydrometeorological risk, with intensifying droughts and floods increasingly disrupting livelihoods, ecosystems, and infrastructure. This study presents a systematic bibliometric and scientometric synthesis of 1481 peer-reviewed publications on drought and flood hazards published between 2000 and 2024 across the Southern African Development Community. Using

Considering the ever increasing financial damages of floods and the need to manage the surface water, the use of new and more sufficient methods seems to be necessary. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate capability of the Gamma, Beta, Chi-square, and Weibull probability distribution functions (PDFs) for flood hydrograph derivation. The present study was conducted in the Bar watershed,

The rapid development of China's outbound tourism in European countries is receiving more and more attention from the European tourism industry. The improvements of the national economy, the characteristics of Chinese culture and the strengthening of the economic and cultural bonds between China and European Union countries have all played roles in its growth. This master thesis summarizes Chi

Standard-setting is undoubtedly beneficial to society. Its foremost advantage is that it ensures interoperability between products and thereby increases consumer welfare. Standardization covers a wide range of activities, but for the purpose of this thesis it can be defined as activities that set technical specifications that seek to provide a common design for a product or process. Standards thus

In the carriage of goods by sea most of the times there are three parties involved - the carrier, the shipper and the consignee. Due to the fact that more often than not they are unrelated to each other, such a relationship presupposes the use of fraudulently issued bills of lading. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the existing legal regimes governing the use of bills of lading and the way

Denna publikation syftar till att skapa en grundläggande överblick av prospektering och utveckling av petroleumtillgångar i Barentshavet. Den är tänkt som en överblick av regionen samt en sammanfattning av dess bassänger, reservoarer, fällsystem och källbergarter. Prospekteringen av Barentshavet började på 1970-talet, och under 1980-talet gjordes ett flertal större upptäckter. Utvecklingen har varThe purpose of this publication is to outline the exploration history and development of the Barents Sea region. It is intended as an overview of the region, summarizing the various basins, reservoirs, trap systems, and source rocks. Exploration of the Barents Sea began in the 1970s and major discoveries took place in the 1980s. Development has been slow due to the prevalence of natural gas over o

Detrital zircon were sampled from five rivers in Ghana and they were analysed in situ for U-Th-Pb, O and Lu-Hf isotopes. Based on the analyses, their U-Pb crystallisation ages, δ18O isotope ratio, εHf and Hf-model ages were determined. This provides information about the origin and crustal evolution of the Palaeoproterozoic bedrock in Ghana. The U-Pb crystallisation ages of the zircon mainly range
