This paper is focused on implementation challenges related to the integration of sustainable mobility in strategic local/regional land use and transport planning. The work was based on a case study of Stockholm, Sweden, focusing on four current plans and strategies of key importance for sustainable mobility. We identify and discuss implementation challenges related to sustainable mobility using a

A long-term follow-up of 49 patients with an average age of 38 years (range: 25-67 years) who had experienced infantile Blount's disease was done. Thirty-seven patients had bilateral disease, giving a total of 86 affected knees. Thirty-eight knees had conservative or no treatment during childhood; 13 were treated by epiphysiodesis, and 35 by osteotomy. At follow-up, 11 knees showed arthrosis, and

SynopsisOptimized structures describing key features of the potential energy surface for water exchange at three planar d8 centers have been calculated using ab initio density functional theory. The local density approximation (LDA), including relativistic corrections for Pt, gives good agreement with the available experimental ground state structural data. LDA binding energies together with expli

We present proposed changes to the dissociative disorders section of the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and review the concept of pathological and nonpathological dissociation, including empirical findings on the relations between trauma and dissociative phenomenology and between dissociation and hypnosis. The most important proposals include the creation

This paper serves as an overview to the special session Circuits and Systems for 5G on IEEE International Conference on ASIC (ASICON) 2015. More specifically, we introduce two of enabling technologies for the coming 5G wireless era, namely massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique and advanced coding techniques such as polar codes. Massive MIMO is a relatively new wireless communicat

Cellulose, one of the most abundant renewable resources, is insoluble in most common solvents but dissolves in aqueous alkali under a narrow range of conditions. To elucidate the solubilization mechanism, we performed electrophoretic NMR on cellobiose, a subunit of cellulose, showing that cellobiose acts as an acid with two dissociation steps at pH 12 and 13.5. Chemical shift differences between c

High-volume, low-strength industrial wastewaters constitute a large potential for biogas production, which could be realized by membrane bioreactors operating at the ambient temperature of the wastewater. However, the start-up of low-temperature anaerobic processes using unadapted inoculum can be sensitive to overloading, which results in acidification. This study assessed if a novel acidification

Grid connected renewable energy systems are becoming popular due to reasons such as rapid escalation of energy prices, depletion of fossil fuel resources and pollutant emitted by conventional energy sources. Therefore, technologies for incorporating renewable energy technologies into the existing electricity grid needs to be researched more considering the changes in grid architecture. This study

Arktiska miljöer har de senaste decennierna upplevt en stark temperaturökning, vilket påverkar tundrans kolcykel.Smältande permafrost, minskande snötäcke och förändringar i hydrologiska mönster är exempel på pågående processer som förändrar samspelet mellan mark och atmosfär samt ekosystemens säsongsdynamik.Då ett antal av dessa processer involverar utbyte av växthusgaser, såsom spårgaserna metan Arctic environments have experienced strong warming in recent decades, which is affecting the carbon cycle of tundra ecosystems.Degrading permafrost, diminishing snow cover, and changing hydrology are examples of ongoing processes that affect the land-atmosphere interactions and seasonal ecosystem dynamics.Since a number of the affected processes involve the exchange of atmospheric greenhouse gase

BACKGROUND: Within work sociology, several studies have addressed construction workers' practices of masculinity, class, economy, safety risks and production. However, few studies have investigated room for agency in relation to bodily pain or musculoskeletal disorders and even fewer have made a quantitative approach. Accordingly, by means of a questionnaire, we examined the association between co

Crisis communication is a field dominated by functionalist and objectivist perspectives even though there are exceptions. With a departure in an alternative epistemology – social construc-tionism – this paper provides a reflective approach to understand crisis communication as a contextual and cultural construction process. Focusing on the social construction of crisis brings a much-needed approac
