A numerical model of nearshore waves, currents and sediment transport was developed. The wave conditions were calculated by the Modified-EBED model and the surface roller was modeled following the approach of Daily and Brown (1995) with an enhancement of the energy flux term in the alongshore direction. Nearshore currents and wave setup were determined by the depth-averaged momentum equations toge

Fokus för den föreliggande utvärderingen har legat på yttre effekter (d.v.s. om man gjort rätt saker) av forsknings- och utvecklingsprogrammet om fordons- och trafiksäkerhet kallat IVSS (Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems) och som pågick från år 2003 till år 2010. Utvärderingsgruppen genomförde en systematisk genomgång av ett urval (13) av slutrapporter för enstaka IVSS projekt. Det gjordes vidar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polyklorerade bifenyler (PCB) är ett samlingsnamn för ett antal kemiska föreningar. De utmärker sig genom att de har en god elektrisk isoleringsförmåga och tålighet för höga temperaturer, och de har därför använts i bl.a. transformatorer och kondensatorer men även som mjukgörare i plaster och färger. Sedan det visat sig att exponering för PCB innebar allvarliga hälsoeffPersistent organochlorine compounds (POC), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and dioxins, are long-lived and highly lipophilic compounds which are present in all biota today. In Sweden, one of the major exposure routes for POC is through the consumption of fatty fish from the Baltic Sea, which is off the east coast of Sweden, and one of the most highly exposed populations is the fishermen's

The adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces of b-lactoglobulin (b-lg) A and B have been studied by in situ ellipsometry and related to the properties of these proteins in solution. At low temperatures (4-25°C) the adsorption of the b-lgs was found to be highly related to their self-association behaviour in solution. The adsorption isotherms at 25°C, both on methylated and hydrophilic silica, showed

The aim of this study is to compare knowledge-driven and data-driven methods for susceptibility mapping in spatial epidemiology. Our comparison focuses on one of the arguably most important requisites in such models, namely predictability. We compare one data-driven modelling method called Radial Basis Functional Link Net (RBFLN - a well-established Neural Network method) with two knowledge-driven

Temples in China participate in the competition for believers and are active players in the religious economy. The managers of the most successful new temples engage in strategic decision making about marketing, promotion, innovation, and public activities to increase the visibility and appeal of their temples. We illustrate with examples and data from our studies of eight new temples to the d
