It discuss how the regime and the power in Yemen transformed after Arab spring, from Ali Abdullah Saleh and his family into conflicting families.

Microphase separated solid single-ion conducting electrolytes based on naphthalene sulfonate units connected by poly(ethylene oxide) segments

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received increasing attention as power sources in electric vehicles. In commercial LIBs, the electrolyte consists of lithium salts dissolved in flammable organic solvents, which raises safety concerns because catastrophic failure of LIBs often begins with the ignition of these solvents.1 Furthermore, these solvents have poor electrochemical stability, resulting in

Bioinformatic studies of genetic variation at known, novel and candidate blood group loci

Access to compatible blood for transfusion is a prerequisite for modern health care. The compatibility is limited by the presence of antibodies to blood group antigens, polymorphic protein and carbohydrate structures, on the surface of the red blood cell. Blood group antigens arise from genetic variation in the genes underlying their expression. Knowledge of these genes and their variation can fac

Retail formations : tracing the fluid forms of an online retailer

Change has often been said to characterise retailing, and research on retail change is extensive. However, though much of that research has focused on retail formats, it has not sufficiently addressed the fluid nature of retailing and how its formats emerge. This paper offers a more dynamic conceptualisation of retail format change by introducing the concept of retail formation. Taking a construct

Scepticism and Belief in Witchcraft Drama, 1538-1681

This book situates witchcraft drama within its cultural and intellectual context, highlighting the centrality of scepticism and belief in witchcraft to the genre. It is argued that these categories are most fruitfully understood not as static and mutually exclusive positions within the debate around witchcraft, but as rhetorical tools used within it. In drama, too, scepticism and belief are vital

Risk of Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Among 69 460 Five-Year Survivors of Childhood Cancer in Europe

Background: Childhood cancer survivors are at risk of subsequent primary soft-tissue sarcomas (STS), but the risks of specific STS histological subtypes are unknown. We quantified the risk of STS histological subtypes after specific types of childhood cancer.Methods: We pooled data from 13 European cohorts, yielding a cohort of 69 460 five-year survivors of childhood cancer. Standardized incidence

Conservation law with multiply discontinuous flux modelling a flotation column

Flotation is a unit operation extensively used in the recovery of valuable minerals in mineral processing and related applications. Essential insight to the hydrodynamics of a otation column can be obtained by studying just two phases: gas and uid. To this end, the approach based on the drift-flx theory, proposed in similar form by several authors, is reformulated as a one-dimensional non-linear c

Trends and factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding in Namibia : Analysis of the Demographic and Health Surveys 2000-2013

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) lowers the risk for all-cause mortality in babies, including those with low birth weight. However, rates of neonatal mortality and delayed initiation of breastfeeding remain high in most low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess the trends and factors associated with EIBF in Namibia from 2000 to 2013. Methods: An analysis of E

Texture and electrical conductivity effects on temperature dependency in time domain reflectometry

If not accounted for, temperature effects on the water content and electrical conductivity measured with time domain reflectometry (TDR) will introduce significant errors. In this study, an automated TDR system was used to quantify the temperature dependence of the apparent dielectric constant and electrical conductivity in wet soils. Sandy, clayey, and organic soils were used to examine the effec

Solute transport measurements in different soil types using time domain reflectometry

During recent years, time domain reflectometry (TDR) has proved to be a valuable tool for both water content (theta) and bulk electrical conductivity (sigma (a)) measurements. To allow resident solute concentration (C-r) measurements, a calibration procedure is necessary for the relationship between sigma (a) and C-r. Two main calibration approaches exist. Direct calibration allows for C-r measure

Föroreningstransport i den omättade zonen under olika nederbördsscenarion

Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr

Short-term magnetic field variations from the post-depositional remanence of lake sediments

Paleomagnetic records obtained from lake sediments provide important constraints on geomagnetic field behavior. Secular variation recorded in sediments is used in global geomagnetic field models, particularly over longer timescales when archeomagnetic data are sparse. In addition, by matching distinctive secular variation features, lake sediment paleomagnetic records have proven useful for dating
