Disturbance regimes in dry sandy grasslands – past, present and future

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sandstäpp är ett starkt hotat växtsamhälle i Sverige som består av många specialiserade och hotade arter som t.ex. sandnejlika, tofsäxing och sandliljor. Exempel på hur en sandstäpp kan se ut hittas i Figur 1 i den Engelska sammanfattningen. Sandstäpp finns på sandig mark med kalk i ytjorden och ett lågt näringsinnehåll. Den karaktäriseras av ett uppbrutet växttäcke somA number of sandy grassland habitats of interest for biodiversity conservation can be found in Europe. One such habitat is the threatened xeric sand calcareous grassland, which is home to a large number of endangered species. It is characterized by a discontinuous vegetation cover, mainly consisting of stress-tolerant species favoured by nutrient-poor and dry conditions. The xeric sand calcareous

Start-to-end simulations for a seeded harmonic generation free electron laser

This paper shows how the MAX linac injector and transport system can be efficiently retuned to suit free electron laser (FEL) performance. In a collaboration between MAX-lab and BESSY, a seeded harmonic generation free electron laser is being constructed at MAX-lab. The setup uses the existing MAX-lab facility upgraded with a new low emittance photocathode gun, a Ti∶Sa 266 nm laser system used for

Implications of the social consequences of global information technology outsourcing in the USA

The transformation and movement of work opportunities is not a new phenomenon. This has been the norm in many industries, such as manufacturing, semi-conductors, clothing, etc. This is the first time, however, that so-called knowledge intensive work areas would be hit en masse, instead of low waged jobs. This has and will have a large impact on individuals, firms, and society. From a global perspe

A Space to Explore, Places to Remember

Departing from a famous 19th century print published by Camille Flammarion, said to show the world and cosmos according to medieval beliefs, the author looks at the explorative character of Swedish landscape architect and artist Monika Gora, how it relates to spatial relations and to memory, with references to french philosopher Gaston Bachelard.

Developmental sequences and (in)vulnerable domains in German interlanguage syntax

Many models of the nonnative acquisition of syntax build on the assumption that target lexical projections are developmentally prior to target functional projections (e.g. Minimal Trees (Vainikka & Young-Scholten 1994), Modulated Structure Building (Hawkins 2001)), or that learners only have to grapple with the acquisition of the topmost levels of syntactic structure (e.g. Vulnerable C-domain

Ethanol from Sugarcane Lignocellulosic Residues - Opportunities for Process Improvement and Production Cost Reduction

Popular Abstract in English Modern society is still largely based on fossil resources. However, there are growing concerns about the security and cost of these resources, as well as climate change resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Biofuels represent renewable fuels with the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels, providing a more sustainable alternative. The transpBioethanol from sugarcane is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the increasing demand for fuel ethanol has prompted studies on the use of the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, namely bagasse and leaves, as new feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility of producing second generation (2G) ethanol from bagasse and leaves via the enzymatic r

Female Quest in Christina Stead's For Love Alone

One of the conspicuously recurrent motifs in Christina Stead's novels is the quest. The present study centres on For Love Alone, the novel in which the prominence of this motif culminates in the depiction of Teresa Hawkins' successful quest, which contains both social and spiritual elements. The novel has a discernible romance structure, and a number of heroic models, including both male and femal

Causality Between Energy and Output in the Long-Run

Though there is a very large literature examining whether energy use Granger causes economic output or vice versa this literature is fairly inconclusive. Almost all existing studies use relatively short time series or panels with a relatively small time dimension. Additionally, many recent papers continue to use what seem to be misspecified models. We apply Granger causality and cointegration tech

Including everyone and boring no one : on the advantages and challenges of teaching interdisciplinary courses

For the 2012 Pedagogical Inspiration Conference for teachers at the Faculties of Humanities and Theology at Lund University, my course team and I presented a paper entitled “Interdisciplinarity, group responsibility and conflict as resources for learning”. The paper discussed our experiences with The City: Boundary Transgressions and Visual Expressions (KOVR02), an interdisciplinary course given i
