Saltwater intrusion is the most challenging problem in coastal regions.

In the last decade, SaaS has reshaped the software industry and has become a leading delivery model of B2B enterprise software.

Idag dimensioneras servisledningar i Malmö/Burlövs fjärrvärmenät baserat på en efterfrågad värmeeffekt från fastighetsägare eller byggföretag som E.ON (fjärrvärmeleverantören) i sin tur möter upp med en passande rördimension. Det finns tecken på att fastigheter inte når upp till den efterfrågade värmeeffekten och att servisledningarna därav är överdimensionerade. Med anledning av detta ämnar detta

Many animals use visual signals to navigate through their environment, and among the top navigators in the animal world we find insects. Even though their brains are incredibly small, insects are able to find their way using, for example, a strategy known as path integration. By updating the distance and direction travelled the insect is able to find the way back to its point of origin along a str

Arctic environments are subject to high seasonal variability. For the species inhabiting these latitudes, adaptation to both harsh winters and milder summers is necessary. Among the few mammals capable of sustaining such variable circannual conditions, the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) shows remarkable morphological and physiological traits that enable individuals to remain in the Fennoscandian tund
