Numerical Simulation of Saltwater Intrusion Caused by Land-Use Change and Groundwater Pumping in a Salinity-Affected Coastal Aquifer, Japan

Lowering of groundwater level may cause saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Since decrease in groundwater recharge rate and overpumping lower groundwater level, recharge rate and pumping rate are main factors of saltwater intrusion In the study area, the land-use has been changing since a university campus was newly constructed.

Synthesis of Pseudo-Cs-Symmetric Heterometallic Bissalen Complexes

Kiralitet (från grekiskans cheiʹr ’hand’) är en symmetriegenskap som är viktig bland annat inom kemin. En kemisk förening kallas kiral om den skiljer sig från sin spegelbild. De två spegelbildsformerna (även kallade enantiomerer) förhåller sig till varandra som en högerhand till en vänsterhand – hur du än vrider och vänder på den ena kan du inte få den att överlappa med den andra. Två enantiomererTwo novel pseudo-Cs-symmetric heterobimetallic bissalen complexes have been synthesized, one containing chromium and cobalt and the other containing chromium and manganese. The design is based on a previously unexploited method; breaking the symmetry of an achiral meso-ligand by insertion of two different metal ions. The synthesized complexes are expected to catalyze the asymmetric ring-opening of

A pupillary measure of forgetting: Memory interference is revealed by pupil size changes at retrieval

Pupil dilation is a reliable measure of cognitive load, and many studies have shown this effect in relation to various memory tasks.

Potentials and limitations of 1D, 2D and coupled 1D-2D flood modelling in HEC-RAS

Översvämningsmodellering Idag används matematiska modeller, i form av datorprogram, för att simulera konsekvenser av framtida översvämningar. Det finns en stor uppsjö av modeller med olika möjligheter och begränsningar, så hur går vi egentligen till väga för att välja modell? Översvämningar hör till de naturliga katastrofer som gör störst skada. Mellan 1998 och 2009 krävde de 216 största översväHydraulic models can be used to predict the consequences of flooding events. In this project, three hydraulic models were constructed using the software HEC-RAS, and compared through a case study on Höje river catchment. The models include (i) a 1-dimensional (1D) model, where river and floodplain flow is modeled in 1D, (ii) a coupled 1D-2D model, where river flow is modeled in 1D and floodplain f

Intra- and interspecific variation and sexual dimorphism in color, size, maturation time, phenology and survival of odonates

Trollsländor i stafett över säsongen En härlig vårpromenad, citronfjärilen fladdrar förbi längs stigen och i himlen flyger tranorna trumpetande norrut. Två månader senare, samma stig. Nu är det inte citronfjärilar och tranor som möter dig, istället ser du en blågrön mosaikslända disciplinerat patrullera fram och tillbaka längs med stigen. Vad är det som gör att vi får så olika upplevelser beroeA species phenology is central to its ecology. Phenology is linked to development time and in extension size. Phenological differences can be found in both inter- and intraspecific comparisons. Sexual dimorphisms in phenology (protandry and protogyny) has been linked to sexual size dimorphism (SSD). In this study I use odonates, popular model organisms for studies of development and sexual dimorph
