Abstract Estuaries and salt marshes are important wetlands used by waterbirds during winter and migration. However, many salt-marshes have been transformed into salinas, which currently function as high-tide roosts. Since traditional salt production is no longer profitable, many salinas have been abandoned or converted into aquaculture potentially becoming less attractive to waders. In this study

Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T

This paper presents a double directional analysis of vehicle-to-vehicle channel measurements conducted in three different traffic scenarios. Using a high-resolution algorithm, we derive channel parameters like Angle-of-Arrival (AOA), Angle-of-Departure (AOD), propagation delay and Doppler shift and identify underlying propagation mechanisms by combining these estimates with maps of the measurement

This paper considers the effects of intermittent injection of a liquid jet or spray on the initial break-up and mixing of one fluid with the surrounding ambient fluid. The aim of the analysis is to describe the physical process and indicate the mechanisms that control the mixing under different flow conditions (time-dependent injection and its frequency relative to the time scales of the flow) and

We consider demand response solutions having the capability to monitor different variables at users' premises, like presence and temperature, and to control individual appliances. We focus on the optimal control of the appliances during time periods where the available capacity is not enough to satisfy the demand generated by houses operating freely. We propose an approach to define the utility of

Concrete samples from demolition waste of a former pesticide plant in Sweden were analysed for total contents and leachate concentrations of potentially hazardous inorganic substances, TOC, phenols, as well as for pesticide compounds such as phenoxy acids, chlorophenols and chlorocresols. Leachates were produced by means of modified standard column leaching tests and pH-stat batch tests. Due to el

BACKGROUND: Analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is a promising prognostic marker in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The aim of this study was to investigate CTC detection and phenotyping as prognostic biomarkers for response to primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) of metastatic prostate cancer (PC). METHODS: PC patients presenting with a prostate specific antigen (PSA) >80

A key virulence trait of pathogenic bacteria is the ability to bind to receptors on mucosal cells. Here the potential glycosphingolipid receptors of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli were examined by binding of S-35-labeled bacteria to glycosphingolipids on thin-layer chromatograms. Thereby a selective interaction with two nonacid glycosphingolipids of cat small intestinal epithelium was found. T

This work addresses two related problems for on-line services, namely poor resource utilization during regular operating conditions, and low throughput, long response times, or poor performance under periods of high system load. To address these problems, we introduce our notion of quality-elasticity as a manner of dynamically adapting response qualities from software services along a fine-grained

ControlSystems.jl enables the powerful features of the Julia language to be leveraged for control design and analysis.The toolbox provides types for state-space, transfer-function, and time-delay models, together with algorithms for design and analysis.Julia's mathematically-oriented syntax is convenient for implementing control algorithms, and its just-in-time compilation gives performance on par

Experimental studies have revealed that both downstream and upstream pointing V-shaped ribs result in more heat transfer enhancement than transverse straight ribs in ducts. However, based on the available experimental results, contradiction exists whether the upstream or the downstream pointing V-shaped ribs orientation is superior for better enhancement in heat transfer. Further investigations ar

Context. The second Gaia data release, DR2, contained radial velocities of stars with effective temperatures up to Teff = 6900 K. The third data release, Gaia DR3, extends this up to Teff = 14 500 K. Aims.We derive the radial velocities for hot stars (i.e., in the Teff = 6900-14 500K range) from data obtained with the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) on board Gaia. Methods. The radial velocities

Implementation of open source development practices within commercial settings can bring benefits such as improved source code quality, lower maintenance costs, and increased innovation. However, a widespread in-house implementation of the practices has not been observed. The goal of this research is to understand factors which hinder the implementation. For the purpose, development practices of a
