Markstabilisering blir allt vanligare för exploatering av områden med dålig bärighet.Det finns dock behov av bättre och volymstäckande kontrollmetoder förkvalitetssäkring. Kontrollmetoderna kan delas upp i två steg, där det första sker iomedelbar anslutning till inblandning av bindemedel för att kontrollera om manlyckats behandla hela den avsedda volymen, eller om det finns zoner som behöverkompleSoil stabilisation is becoming increasingly common for the development of areas withpoor bearing capacity. However, there is a need for better and volume-wide controlmethods for quality assurance. The control methods can be divided into two steps,where the first takes place in immediate connection to the mixing of binders to checkwhether the entire intended volume has been successfully treated, or

BACKGROUND: A multifunctional diet (MFD) combining foods and ingredients with proven functional properties, such as fatty fish and fiber-rich foods, among others, was developed and shown to markedly reduce cardiometabolic risk-associated factors.OBJECTIVE: Here, we aim at examining metabolic physiological changes associated with these improvements.METHODS: Adult overweight individuals without othe

The crop drought risk assessment is an important basis for mitigating the effects of drought on crops. The study of drought using crop growth models is an integral part of agricultural drought risk research. The current Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) model is not sufficiently sensitive to moisture parameters when performing simulations, and most studies that conduct di

Radionuklidterapi är en nuklearmedicinsk behandling där man använder sig av ett radioaktivt läkemedel för behandling av diverse sjukdomar, ofta kan det vara olika former av spridd cancer. Det görs genom att administrera radioaktiviteten i patienten där den söker sig till cancern och där strålar och därmed behandlar tumören. Den utsända strålningen från radionukliden består av laddade partiklar vilBackground and Aim: New SPECT cameras that use CZT detectors in a 360◦ configuration has recently been introduced. Together with Bayesian reconstruction methods employing Median Root Prior (MRP) and Relative Difference Prior (RDP), this constitutes an alternative to Anger-based SPECT for activity quantification. The aim of this thesis is to, by the use of both OS-EM and Bayesian reconstruction met

In this work, a computationally efficient evolutionary algorithm is proposed for estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of coherently distributed (CD) sources corrupted by additive impulsive noise. The typical method, such as distributed signal parameter estimation (DSPE) method, requires a 2-D spectral peak search and cannot allow for coherent signals. The proposed method in this article uses

To optimize the workflow of civil engineering construction in a harbour, this paper developed a framework of the contaminant leaching assessment carried out on the stabilized/solidified dredged soil material. The specimens included the sampled sediments collected from the in situ fieldwork in Arendal and Kongshavn. The background levels of the concentration of pollutants were evaluated to assess t

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt och tillämpat två olika instuderingsmetoder och tagit reda på hur effektiva de är vid instudering av olika typer av musikstycken. Jag har även reflekterat över möjliga utvecklingsområden för de båda metoderna. Med den ena metoden utgår jag mer från musiken och dess karaktär och den andra mer utifrån ett tekniskt perspektiv. Jag har övat in fyra olika stycken, tillIn this essay I have analysed and applied two different methods of practice and found out how effective they are when studying different kinds of musical pieces. I have also reflected on how to improve the two methods. One of the methods centres around the music and it’s character and the other one around a more technical point of view. I have studied four different pieces and applied the two diff

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease for which diagnosis continues to rely on subjective clinical judgment over a battery of tests. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) enables the noninvasive in vivo detection of multiple small-molecule metabolites and is therefore in principle a promising means of gathering information sufficient for multiple sclerosis diagnos

Modellering av PFAS i grundvattnet - undersökning om vilka metoder som används och vilka parametrar som påverkar PFAS kan sprida sig till dricksvattnet genom grundvattnet, och det är därför viktigt att vi har kunskap om hur vi kan simulera denna spridning för att skydda våra dricksvattentäkter. Poly- och perfluorerade alkylsubstanser, även kallade PFAS, är en grupp kemikalier som är nästintill oPFAS contamination in drinking water is a current problem, and new regulations for drinking water limits were recently implemented in each member country of the EU in January this year. Understanding the spread of PFAS in groundwater is therefore important to prevent it from reaching drinking water sources. Groundwater modeling is a valuable tool for this purpose. However, due to the specific char

The interatomic Auger effect following O 1s ionization in N2O has been experimentally investigated using multi-electron coincidence spectroscopy. The expected transition energies have been established by comparison to the measured N 1s−1v−1 core-valence double ionization energies. We describe a procedure to eliminate the background of two competing processes contributing spectroscopic signatures t

Cover crops (CCs) can improve soil nutrient retention and crop production while providing climate change mitigation co-benefits. However, quantifying these ecosystem services across global agricultural lands remains inadequate. Here, we assess how the use of herbaceous CCs with and without biological nitrogen (N) fixation affects agricultural soil carbon stocks, N leaching, and crop yields, using

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key players regulating RNA processing and are associated with disorders ranging from cancer to neurodegeneration. Here, we present a proteomics workflow for large-scale identification of RBPs and their RNA-binding regions in the mammalian brain identifying 526 RBPs. Analysing brain tissue from males of the Huntington’s disease (HD) R6/2 mouse model uncovered differe

To investigate the influence of gas injection timing (GIT) on the combustion instability of a premixed natural gas engine, experiments were conducted under low load conditions using various GITs. Multifractal and multiscale entropy analyses were employed to examine the fractal characteristics and complexity of the experimental time series for indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) and heat relea

Using silicon nanowire (NW) arrays for solar energy conversion has gained special interest in the past years especially for their strong light interaction. The application in photocatalysis, however, requires an additional layer of protection for the silicon surface. To that end, silicon NWs with titanium nitride (TiN) coating, which exhibit a much stronger absorption than their uncoated counterpa

The impact of CO dilution on combustion of syngas (a mixture of H2, CO, and CH4) was investigated in a lab-scale gas turbine model combustor at atmospheric pressure conditions. Two mild dilution levels of CO2, corresponding to 15% and 34% of CO2 mole fraction in the syngas/CO2 mixtures, were experimentally investigated to evaluate the effects of CO2 dilution on the flame structures and the emissio

Vår hjärna löser beräkningar som tar oss genom livet otroligt energieffektivt; den kör hela dagen runt på ungefär 12 watt. Jämför man med en vanlig dator som kräver ungefär 175 watt så är det inte ens nära[2]. Att uppnå hjärnans energieffektivitet är ett ambitiöst mål för dagens elektronik. Tricket ligger i att efterlikna hjärnans struktur och uppbyggnad med elektroniken. Detta forskningsområde ka

The stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is greatly affected by the interface between the perovskite active layer and the hole transport material (HTM). The rational design of HTMs with effective anchoring to the perovskite surface is an emerging elegant strategy to promote compact and ordered interfaces that lead to highly efficient and stable PSCs. Herein, we propose two fluorene-based HTM

This paper aims to contribute to wider discussions within the discipline of anthropology regarding the social and material significance of backpackers’ backpacks. Mainly, this paper examines how backpacks help construct backpacking identity and shape backpackers’ journeys and experiences. To gain insight into these inquiries this paper adopts a qualitative research approach, specifically eight sem
