Long-distance migration is a strategy some animals use to survive a seasonally changing environment. To reach favorable grounds, migratory animals have evolved sophisticated navigational mechanisms that rely on a map and compasses. In migratory insects, the existence of a map sense (sense of position) remains poorly understood, but recent work has provided new insights into the mechanisms some com
An efficient method for increasing the dilution rate of brine water discharged into the sea is an inclined negatively buoyant jet from a single port or a multi-diffuser system. Such jets typically arise when brine is discharged from desalination plants. Two small-scale experimental studies were conducted to investigate the behaviour of a dense jet discharged into lighter ambient water. The first e
Older immigrants in need of public care will increase in the future. It is therefore important to increase the knowledge of their situation in order to meet their varying care needs. The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the situation of older non-Nordic immigrants, aged 65 years and older, living in Sweden and receiving municipal care with the focus on care provided, care-related needs an
In this article we give an overview of some challenges in how to make geospatial information more useable and accessible. We also suggest a roadmap for dealing with these challenges – and introduce a new EU project HaptiMap.
The earlier studies in this measurement series defined the limits and aims for design process to create better ventilating helmets [1], and tested the insulation [2] and evaporative characteristics [3] of the designed mock-ups. In addition some of the tested mock-ups were modified to study more closely the factors that were expected to improve heat transfer from the bicycle helmets. The present pa
We report an experimental investigation of higher vibrational levels (ν′>2) of the C 1s→π* excitation in CO utilizing resonant Auger electron spectroscopy. These vibrational states are not readily seen in a total yield absorption spectrum, whereas they are shown to be discernable in a partial electron yield spectrum. Furthermore, the nature of the spectator part between EBin=26.5 and 30 eV, being
