IntroductionDuring 2008, the oil price climbed from one peak to the next. Despite the fact that high grain and sugar prices – the main feed stocks for bioethanol plant – are currently causing a slow down in the realisation of bioethanol projects, the interest for renewable fuels is still increasing. In the Nordic countries, Sweden and Finland are leading the development of bioethanol production, w
Every year, 100,000 tons of dissolved hemicelluloses are discharge unused with wastewater from thermomechanical pulp mills around the world. Isolation of these hemicelluloses from the wastewater would not only reduce the treatment costs for the pulp mills but would also provide an excellent raw material for high value applications such as oxygen barriers in food packaging. The isolation of the hem
We trapped birds on the island of Capri, SW Italy, during February and earliest March 2002-2004 and in November-December 2004. The trapped birds were ringed, and common biometrical parameters measured. In total 247 birds of 17 species were trapped, a rather limited number, whereof c. 70% were either European Robins Erithacus rubecula, Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla, Sardinian Warblers Sylvia melanoc
Marine planktonic microalgae have potentially global dispersal, yet reduced gene flow has been confirmed repeatedly for several species. Over larger distances (>200 km) geographic isolation and restricted oceanographic connectivity have been recognized as instrumental in driving population divergence. Here we investigated whether similar patterns, that is, structured populations governed by geogra
We consider electroweak Higgs plus three jets production at NLO QCD beyond strict VBF acceptance cuts. We investigate, for the first time, how accurate the VBF approximation is in these regions and within perturbative uncertainties by a detailed comparison of full and approximate calculations. We find that a rapidity gap between the tagging jets guarantees a good approximation, while an invariant
Artikeln behandlar hur Karl XIV Johan visuellt skapade band med alla skikt av sitt nya lands befolkning genom att förknippa sig med ärorika föregångare i ämbetet. Detta uttrycktes medvetet i porträtt och monument, men även inredningar, arkitektur och ceremonier. Hans son förde vidare denna strategi genom att bygga upp monument över sin far. Detta ingick i ett brett spektrum av traditionella och ny
Background: Although many pregnant women report fear related to the approaching birth, no consensus exists on how fear of birth should be handled in clinical care. Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy of a guided internet-based self-help program based on cognitive behavioral therapy (guided ICBT) with standard care on the levels of fear of birth in a sample of
Pleurobranchaea maculata is a rarely studied species of the Heterobranchia found throughout the south and western Pacific–and recently recorded in Argentina–whose population genetic structure is unknown. Interest in the species was sparked in New Zealand following a series of dog deaths caused by ingestions of slugs containing high levels of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. Here we describe the geneti
This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR. Within the framework of the project technologies to empower and support stroke survivors are developed. We report on the iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the initial testing and outline potential future developments.This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR.

Artikeln påvisar överensstämmelser mellan återkommande teman i Karl Johans egen retorik och hur dessa uttrycks i den konst han beställde.
The role of intentions in motor planning is heavily weighted in classical psychological theories, but their role in generating eye movements, and our awareness of these oculomotor intentions, has not been investigated explicitly. In this study, the extent to which we monitor oculomotor intentions, i.e. the intentions to shift one’s gaze towards a specific location, and whether they can be expresse
China has been a pioneer in including information and communication technologies for educational purposes (ICT4E) in national educational policies. Having recognized the role technology can play in education in the late 1990s, the country has by now emerged as an international leader in propagating the benefits of ICT4E. At the levels of the school and individual learner, however, ICT4E still play
In the context of recent climate change and increased anthropogenic activities in coastal areas, which both may have a negative impact on dissolved oxygen concentration, there is an increased interest to better understand the mechanisms and evolution leading to hypoxia in marine environments. The development of well calibrated proxies is crucial to obtain reliable environmental reconstructions of
In a previous 16-month seasonal study on living (stained) benthic foraminifera from two fjords on the Swedish west coast, it was reported that foraminifera proliferated in response to phytodetritus input; the strongest response came from the opportunistic species Stainforthia fusiformis. In this study, our objective was to find out if that phytodetritus input resulted in a change in the carbon iso
