We have traced the Galactic thick disk to its, to date, highest metallicities. Based on high-resolution spectroscopic observations of 187 F and G dwarf stars that kinematically can be associated either with the thin disk (60 stars) or with the thick disk (127 stars), we find that the thick disk stars reach at least solar metallicities, and maybe even higher. This finding is independent of the U_LS
The transport sector is facing serious challenges in meeting long-term sustainability criteria. Radical changes in the design of vehicles to attain competitive vehicles with substantially better environmental performance will probably constitute an important part in a future sustainable transport sector. The aim of the study described in this thesis is to assess the long-term options currently und
BOOK SYNOPSIS: Throughout the industrialised world trade unionists are reforming their organisations as part of a strategy to adjust to new labour market, economic and political circumstances. This volume examines the role of merger activity in this process of reform. The book identifies the pattern of merger activity, the factors that promote its development and its impact on union structure and
Ecologists have often compared ecological communities in different areas, for example on different continents. The main interest is that the communities might be more similar in the characters of their species than expected under a null model of random species assortment. We suggest that such a null model should be based only on the species observed across the samples. Species-level convergence an
Carton board packages are often closed with an adhesive. The adhesive joint thus formed has to meet the demands during the entire product life from converting to end-use. The adhesive joint has to be characterized if it is good or bad for the actual application. Today such characterization is done by manually peeling the joint, immediately after the adhesive application in the gluing machine. The
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) constitutes 90% of all cancers in the oral cavity, and the prognosis for patients diagnosed with OSCC is still poor. The identification of novel therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for OSCC is therefore essential. Previous studies of OSCC revealed an increased expression of WNT5A in the tumor tissue. However, no functional studies of WNT5A-induced effects
The collapse of a massive stellar core may lead to the production of a black hole surrounded by a torus of material. Such a system is a potential source for the so-called long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A torus will form around the black hole if the infalling material contains sufficient angular momentum. This however requires that the core of the massive star rotates extremely rapidly prior to coll
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakterier är små encelliga organismer som lever i nästan varje tänkbar miljö på jorden, inklusive i och på människor. Vi är kontinuerligt koloniserade av bakterier i bland annat våra luftvägar, munhålor och mag-tarmkanaler. Denna samexistens är oftast ömsesidigt fördelaktig, eller åtminstone ofarlig för oss människor, och det är känt att bakterier hjälper oss bryta ner
Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa problematiken kring tillämpningen av instituten ansvarsgenombrott respektive verksamhetsutövare i koncernförhållanden. Genom en studie av rättskällorna har jag fastställt rättsläget vad gäller de båda instituten. Tillsammans med avgörandet i MÖD 2013:28 har jag sedan tagit reda på vilka möjligheter det finns att göra moderbolaget ansvarigt för dotterbolagets The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the difficulties in applying the concepts of “piercing the corporate veil” (ansvarsgenombrott) and “operator” (verksamhetsutövare) in corporate group relationships. By studying the sources of law I have determined what is current law regarding the two institutes. Combining the outcome of this study with the judgement in case MÖD 2013:28 I have tried to es
The determinants of fire-driven changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) across broad environmental gradients remains unclear, especially in global drylands. Here we combined datasets and field sampling of fire-manipulation experiments to evaluate where and why fire changes SOC and compared our statistical model to simulations from ecosystem models. Drier ecosystems experienced larger relative changes
