Dispersai from the centre o f the breeding range of the BalticGreylag Goose Anser anser was studied using observationsof individuals with neck collars. The median natal dispersal distance was 0 km in females and 25 km in mates, respectively. A ll of the females recruited to w ith in7 km o f where they had been reared, 87% to the natal lake and 11% toneighbouring water bodies. Of the mates, only 11

Regular goose counts have been undertaken in Swedensince 1977/78 as a part of the International Goose Countsorganised by Wetlands International. The main counts areundertaken in October and November, covering all sites ofimportance for Bean Goose Anser fabalis and in Januarywhen all sites are covered. September counts of GreylagGoose Anser anser will be published separately. In October,the major p

Differences in visual capabilities are known to reflect differences in foraging behaviour even among closely related species. Among birds, the foraging of diurnal raptors is assumed to be guided mainly by vision but their foraging tactics include both scavenging upon immobile prey and the aerial pursuit of highly mobile prey. We studied how visual capabilities differ between two diurnal raptor spe

We aim to introduce some new solutions in the studies involving the subjects who are not able to use spoken language, both animals and pre-verbal infants. Although our research focuses in general on the episodic memory introduced by Tulving in 1972, this paper is to present the case of 12-month-old infants.

The electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the proton are now well known, owing to Compton scattering measurements on hydrogen targets; however, the neutron polarizabilities are still relatively uncertain, compared to the proton values. To address this problem, a multiinstitutional collaboration has conducted a program of elastic Compton scattering experiments on deuterium at the MAX IV Laborat

This paper presents a study on iconic programming support for mainly position-based lead-through programming of an ABB YuMi collaborative robot. A prototype tool supporting a hybrid programming and execution mode was developed and evaluated with 21 non-expert users with varying programming and robotics experience. We also present a comparison of the programming times for an expert robot programmer

BACKGROUND: Diffuse traumatic axonal injury (TAI), a common consequence of traumatic brain injury, is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Inflammatory processes may play an important role in the pathophysiology of TAI. In the central fluid percussion injury (cFPI) TAI model in mice, the neuroinflammatory and astroglial response and behavioral changes are unknown.METHODS: Twenty cFPI-inju

Migration patterns of Nordic Greylag Geese Anser anserwere studied by means of neck-collaring. A total of 4173birds (738 breeders, 1999 goslings and 1436 moulters;most moulters subsequently identified as belonging to aspecified breeding population) was marked throughoutNorway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland during 1984–1994. This report is based on observations made up to 30June 1995. In general, Nor

Driven by increased expectations on the use of knowledge to benefit sustainable social development and growth, the government’s research and innovation bill in 2012 highlighted the need to develop new incentives and structures to foster universities’ interaction with surrounding society. Following this, the government assigned Vinnova the task of developing methods and criteria for assessing the p

3′-Phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is a key player in the sulfation of biomolecules, but methods for selective measurements are lacking. A liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) approach for measuring PAPS was developed. A central feature of the method was employing hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), which is highly suited for separating very polar/charged co

Due to their direct coupling to the physiology of the cells, the physical properties are especially attractive as markers for sorting and characterization of cancer cells. Where molecular surface markers are lacking, the physical properties can instead serve as inherent markers for separation. This is especially interesting for cancer cells where there are indications that soft cells are more meta

Lean premixed dry low emission (DLE) combustion system in a gas turbine engine is a globally accepted concept to reduce pollutant emissions and to improve combustion efficiency. This study is focused on an industrial downscaled prototype burner (4th Generation Dry Low Emission Burner for SGT-750 designed and manufactured by Siemens Industrial Turbo machinery AB), which has been tested extensively

I Norden finns ett antal gränsregioner, där arbetspendling, handel och andra kontakter över gränserna utgör naturliga inslag i vardagen. I alla de nordiska länderna finns hos regeringar och parlament en politisk strävan att gynna rörlighet mellan de nordiska länderna – men också ambitioner att skydda egna intressen och bevara inarbetade strukturer. Avsikten med artikeln är att i ljuset av denna spThe article explores the possibilities for legal research on Nordic border regions, highlighting border barriers, organizational structures for cooperation and public order and safety.
