Faster response to water level increase facilitates Salix cavaleriei survival in Lake Erhai

The roles that adventitious roots play in flooding tolerance have been well-studied in willows, while which of the maximum height of adventitious roots and the abundance of adventitious roots in willows is more important for their flooding tolerance is not well known. In this study, we analyzed the effects of adventitious roots on the flooding tolerance of Salix cavaleriei by comparing the maximum

A robust Multi-Band Water Index (MBWI) for automated extraction of surface water from Landsat 8 OLI imagery

Surface water is vital resources for terrestrial life, while the rapid development of urbanization results in diverse changes in sizes, amounts, and quality of surface water. To accurately extract surface water from remote sensing imagery is very important for water environment conservations and water resource management. In this study, a new Multi-Band Water Index (MBWI) for Landsat 8 Operational

Expression of hirudin fusion proteins in mammalian cells : A strategy for prevention of intravascular thrombosis

Background - Intravascular thrombosis occurs in disorders of diverse pathogeneses, including allograft and xenograft rejection. In this in vitro study, we describe an approach for tethering the specific thrombin inhibitor hirudin to plasma membranes as part of a genetic strategy for regulating intravascular coagulation. Methods and Results - An HLA class I leader sequence was fused with hirudin li

A new implementation of FLEXPART with Enviro-HIRLAM meteorological input, and a case study during a heavy air pollution event

We integrated Enviro-HIRLAM (Environment-High Resolution Limited Area Model) meteorological output into FLEXPART (FLEXible PARTicle dispersion model). A FLEXPART simulation requires meteorological input from a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. The publicly available version of FLEXPART can utilize either ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts) Integrated Forecast System

Isolation, Behavioral Identification, and Pathogenicity Assessment of Entomopathogenic Fungi from a Forest Wood Borer

Forest wood borers (FWB) cause severe tree damage and economic losses worldwide. The release of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) during the FWB emergence period is considered an acceptable alternative to chemical control. However, EPF resources have been significantly less explored for FWBs, in contrast to agricultural insect pests. This paper presents a protocol for exploring EPF resources from FWBs

Behövs det en reform av FN:s Säkerhetsråd?

Säkerhetsrådet ska i enlighet med art. 39 FN-stadgan vidta kollektiva åtgärder för att bevara den internationella freden och säkerheten. Säkerhetsrådet kan inom ramen för detta uppdrag vidta militära och icke-militära åtgärder under stadgans kapitel VII. För att Säkerhetsrådet ska kunna agera krävs att de fem permanenta medlemmarna Frankrike, Kina, Ryssland (Sovjetunionen), Storbritannien och USA

Reforming the Nordic Model: A study of labor market policies in social-democratic welfare state regime 1980-2015

This paper focuses on labor market policies across countries belonging to the social-democratic welfare state regime. Since 1980 Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden have undergone a number of reforms and modifications within labor market, which identify the shift from traditional politics of expansion towards what many refer to as welfare retrenchment or restructuring. This paper attempts to obser

Reshoring Manufacturing

Background: Since the last decades of the twentieth century there have been lots of companies who had moved their production processes from the origin country to another different country because of a lower cost of operations in the new location. These better conditions were due to fewer labor costs, fewer land prices, fewer transport costs and lower taxes, among others. However, nowadays reshorin

Global growth and stagnation of nuclear power - A case of diffusion of a new energy technology in a heterogenous system

Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. This thesis advances our understanding of the diffusion of large-scale low-carbon technologies by bridging technology diffusion studies and political economy of transitions. Through combini

Closing the Plastic Tap — Global Plastic Waste and the Circular Economy. A Multi-Regional Hybrid Input-Output Analysis of Plastic Waste Footprints

Plastic pollution is a cross-national environmental and societal challenge that needs to be addressed from the point of view of global supply chains. The circular economy (CE) has emerged as an alternative paradigm to the traditional “take-make-waste” models of production and consumption to create a closed-loop system so that plastic is trapped in the economy and not in the environment. This resea

COVID-19 and the Freefall of the Stock Market

Background: The novel COVID-19 outbreak has been present for over a year and is a permanent companion impacting daily lives and hurting economics universal. Since the presence of the coronavirus has been directly impacting stock markets and its returns worldwide, an analysis of the impact on the COVID-19 outbreak is inevitable. Therefore, this paper examines the influence of the novel COVID-19 out

Temporal and spatial distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon in the rivers on the Tibetan Plateau

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is a pivotal component of the carbon cycle and is sensitive to environmental disturbances. In the context of the Tibetan Plateau, its spatial and temporal variations in DIC concentrations and flux have substantial implications for regional and global carbon cycles, which, however, remains poorly understood. This study harmonized a large database of riverine DIC obs

Manual-free software for a technical instrument

In workplaces, a lot of knowledge is lost when colleagues change positions. What was once obvious to one person can be incomprehensible to the next. This problem has been encountered by Probation Labs Sweden AB with their biochemical instrument, Labbot. Labbot facilitates researchers in automating their protein analysis. It works like a multi-tool where users can perform one or several tasks in a

Bilingualism in Multimodal Language Processing: A priming study on processing of gestures in English temporal expressions

At its core, language is multimodal (Kendon, 1986; McNeill, 1994), and information presented through different channels of information, such as visually, in the shape of gestures, or verbally, in the shape of speech or signs, together facilitate online language processing (Kelly, Healey, Özyürek, & Holler, 2015; Kelly, Özyürek, & Maris, 2010). This thesis extends previous studies on multim

Impacts of dams on lowland agriculture in the Mekong River catchment

På den Indokinesiska halvön ligger Mekongflodens avrinningsområde. De senaste årtiondena har Kina, som innehar den nordligaste delen av flodbassängen, startat ett omfattande vattenkraftsprojekt på flodens huvudfåra. Åtta mycket stora dammar är planerade varav tre redan är byggda. Länderna som ligger nedströms från Kina, nämligen Laos, Kambodja och Vietnam har på senare tid också beslutat att bygga
