Biogas recovery for sustainable cities: A critical review of enhancement techniques and key local conditions for implementation

There is great potential to apply energy recovery from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) to achieve better energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions abatement. However, in most of the wastewater treatment plants that produce biogas through sludge digestion, there is no thermal energy recovery or electricity generation, and the biogas is flared and wasted, particularly in developing

Dialogic feedback and literary disciplinary knowledge in L2 writing instruction : How attitude to feedback influences academic achievement

Recent research has foregrounded the importance of student engagement with feedback on writing (Quinton & Smallbone, 2010; Zhang & Hyland, 2018; Handley, Price, & Millar, 2011). At the same time, there is a small but growing body of scholarship exploring the role that feedback plays in developing discipline-specific competencies in student writers in an L2 context (Hyland, 2013). The p

27.5-29.5 GHz Switched Array Sounder for Dynamic Channel Characterization: Design, Implementation and Measurements

A pre-requisite for the design of wireless systems is the understanding of the propagation channel. While a wealth of propagation knowledge exists for bands below 6 GHz, the same can not be said for bands approaching millimeter-wave frequencies. In this paper, we present the design, implementation and measurement-based verification of a re-configurable 27.5-29.5 GHz channel sounder for measuring d

Sun-induced fluorescence and near-infrared reflectance of vegetation track the seasonal dynamics of gross primary production over Africa

The carbon cycle of tropical terrestrial vegetation plays a vital role in the storage and exchange of atmospheric CO2. But large uncertainties surround the impacts of land-use change emissions, climate warming, the frequency of droughts, and CO2 fertilization. This culminates in poorly quantified carbon stocks and carbon fluxes even for the major ecosystems of Africa (savannas and tropical evergre

Cheetah-MS: a web server to model protein complexes using tandem cross-linking mass spectrometry data

SUMMARY: Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are central in many biological processes but difficult to characterize, especially in complex, unfractionated samples. Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (MS) and computational modeling is gaining recognition as a viable tool in protein interaction studies. Here, we introduce Cheetah-MS, a web server for predicting the PPIs in a compl

Marknad i kris? : Kollektivtrafikens syn på avtalsmodeller under pandemin

Denna rapport är en del av projektet Innovation och teknologisk förändring på kollektivtrafikens marknader, som är ett gemensamt forskningsprojekt mellan Lunds universitet, VTI, Malmö universitet, Högskolan i Molde (Norge), samt med medverkan från Partnersamverkan för förbättrad kollektivtrafik. Projektet finansieras av K2, Sveriges nationella kunskapscentrum för kollektivtrafik och syftar till at

Organisational Measures and Strategies for a Healthy and Sustainable Extended Working Life and Employability : A Deductive Content Analysis with Data Including Employees, First Line Managers, Trade Union Representatives and HR-Practitioners

Due to the global demographic change many more people will need to work until anolder age, and organisations and enterprises need to implement measures to facilitate an extendedworking life. The aim of this study was to investigate organisational measures and suggestionsto promote and make improvements for a healthy and sustainable working life for all ages in anextended working life. This is a qu

Spot the difference! : On the way towards automated fault handling in district heating buildings

This thesis focuses on how district heating utilities may work with fault handling in customer installations as a tool to reduce their return temperature levels. Reduced return temperatures would make it possible to improve the efficiency of the district heating systems and decrease their environmental impact. Faults in the customer installations cause high return temperatures that increase the re

Detecting purging of inbreeding depression by a slow rate of inbreeding for various traits : the impact of environmental and experimental conditions

Inbreeding depression (ID) has since long been recognized as a significant factor in evolutionary biology. It is mainly the consequence of (partially) recessive deleterious mutations maintained by mutation-selection balance in large random mating populations. When population size is reduced, recessive alleles are increasingly found in homozygous condition due to drift and inbreeding and become mor

An exploration of online fulfilment centres in omni-channel grocery retail

Grocery retail is going through a rapid shift and retailers are moving towards omni-channel. Omni-channel means that a retailer has multiple channels in which thecustomer can move seamlessly, with the back-end organised to make this possible.While the grocery-retail sector has started to see a rapid growth in online sales,omni-channel grocery retailers are struggling with profitability in their on

Hypnosis Intervention for Sleep Disturbance : Determination of Optimal Dose and Method of Delivery for Postmenopausal Women

Sleep disturbances are a pervasive problem among postmenopausal women, with an estimated 40 to 64% reporting poor sleep. Hypnosis is a promising intervention for sleep disturbances. This study examined optimal dose and delivery for a manualized hypnosis intervention to improve sleep. Ninety postmenopausal women with poor sleep were randomized to 1 of 4 interventions: 5 in-person, 3 in-person, 5 ph

Objectives Comprehensive cost-effectiveness analyses of introducing varicella and/or herpes zoster vaccination in the Swedish national vaccination programme. Design Cost-effectiveness analyses based on epidemiological results from a specifically developed transmission model. Setting National vaccination programme in Sweden, over an 85- or 20-year time horizon depending on the vaccination strategy.
