In order to cater for the increasingly complex society several countries have adopted a capabilities-based planning approach, including capability assessments, as part of their preparedness for disasters. Since the number of actors who are dependent on each other is increasing, capability assessments are made based on assumptions of other actors’ capabilities. It is therefore crucial to understand

Description and analysis of Swedish excise duties and Swedish tax policy in field of environmental friendly tax incentives

Flow thinning (FT) is a concept of a traffic routing and protection strategy applicable to communication networks with variable capacity of links. In such networks, the links do not attain their nominal (maximum) capacity simultaneously, so in a typical network state only some links are fully available whereas on each of the remaining links only a fraction of its maximum capacity is usable. Every

The Linked Data approach in data publishing allows the users and their data-driven applications to have broader use cases which encompass various data sources, either publicly available on the Web, or in private repositories. The use of W3C standards in publishing such data enables uniform access across platforms. Transport information today has higher importance to the citizens and society than e

BACKGROUND: There is an increasing amount of reports on IFITM1 (interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 1) in various malignancies. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of IFITM1 and its prognostic significance in gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.METHODS: Tissue samples were obtained from a consecutive cohort of 174 patients surgically treated between 2006 and 2010 for gastroesoph

Abstract The Ni-YSZ cerment as a promising anode for solid oxide fuel cells and its performance strongly depends on its miscrocture. This work focused on fabrication of Ni-8YSZ nanofibers via an electrospinning technique using yttria and zirconia nanoparticles as precussors. The effects of viscosity on the quality of fibers were assessed by adjusting the polymer and solid contents in slurry. The f

Abstract In this study, we co-fabricated the Ni-based nanofibers using an electrospinning technique. The effects of viscosity, applied voltage and distance from needle to the collection plate on the fiber morphology were investigated. The fibers were sintered at temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 1200 °C and the results indicated that the crystallization was completed at 800 °C and the particle s

This paper ad to the body of knowledge on the implementation of the e-Government and aims to describe how this process was carried out in a municipality in Northern Italy. This organization is a public organization in an economically important region and provides services to entrepreneurs such as validation for opening a new business. A case study approach used with several interviewees including

The Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) coincided with dramatic climate changes, but there are numerous ways in which these changes could have driven marine extinctions. We use a palaeobiogeographic database of rhynchonelliform brachiopods to examine the selectivity of Late Ordovician-Early Silurian genus extinctions and evaluate which extinction drivers are best supported by the data. The firs

Marine reserves are becoming progressively more important as anthropogenic impacts continue to increase, but we have little baseline information for most marine environments. In this study, we focus on the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CMR) in northern Australia, particularly the carbonate banks and terraces of the Sahul Shelf and Van Diemen Rise which have been designated a Key Ecol
