Background: Omni-channel retailing has led to customers becoming more demanding and less tolerant than before. For instance, customers are demanding shorter delivery times, and higher precision in deliveries. Unless retailers adapt to an omni-channel approach today, their business is likely to suffer. To do so, more efficient planning of the supply chain is necessary. The first step of the plannin
This chapter reviews methanol's properties as a fuel for marine use in general terms and then specifically for combustion engines and fuel cells. It discusses the different engine technologies being either investigated or demonstrated that allow methanol to be used in marine engines. Their potential in terms of power density, emissions, and efficiency, as well as their maturity are reviewed. The e
This chapter critically examines the structural forces shaping the emergence and spread of Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs), with a particular focus on avian influenza and the poultry supply chain. Moving beyond conventional epicenter thinking, which attributes disease emergence to specific geographic locations, we argue that EIDs should be understood within broader ecological, economic, social

An overview is given of Chiral Perturbation Theory and various applications to eta decays. In particular, the main decay η → 3π is discussed at the one-loop level, and estimates of the higher order corrections are given. The importance of p6 and higher order effects in double Dalitz and η → π0γγ decays is pointed out. In all these cases the need for new experimental results is stressed.

Radionuclides from the Chernobyl accident were released and dispersed during a limited period of time, but under different weather conditions. As a result the radionuclides were unevenly distributed on the ground. During the years the initial deposition has been altered at some locations by different processes, but remains relatively unchanged in others. Here we report on the current inhomogeneous
Public procurement for innovation is a matter of using public demand to trigger innovation. Empirical studies have demonstrated that demand-based policy instruments can be considered to be a powerful tool in stimulating innovative processes among existing firms. However, the existing literature has not focused on the role this policy instrument can play in the promotion of (knowledge-intensive) en
The aim of the work presented here was to provide enhanced assessment methods that are able to prove higher load carrying capacities and longer service lives for existing concrete railway bridges. One main objective was to develop methods for non-linear analysis since this provides the greatest potential to discover any additional sources for load carrying capacity, and gives an improved understan
Popular Abstract in Undetermined Vårt immunförsvar består av molekyler, celler, och barriärer som har till uppgift att hålla oss friska genom att avlägsna eller stänga ute virus och skadliga mikroorganismer. På alla kärnförsedda celler i vår kropp sitter en stor mängd MHC klass I-molekyler, strukturer som kan liknas vid korgar. I varje korg ligger en peptid som är ett fragment av något som finns iHuman leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules are present on all nucleated cells and present the cell content to cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the form of peptides. Maturation of HLA-I occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and results in stable peptide-HLA-I complexes, in the presence of proper quality control. For proper peptide binding most HLA-I molecules interact with the peptide-loading comple
Direkt Profil is an automatic analyzer oftexts written in French as a second lan-guage. Its objective is to produce an eval-uation of the developmental stage of stu-dents under the form of a grammaticallearner profile. Direkt Profil carries outa sentence analysis based on developmen-tal sequences, i.e. local morphosyntacticphenomena linked to a development in theacquisition of French.The paper pre
By using an integrated dynamic model we are able to reconstruct the supply and gold price of the past (1920-2010) and this is used to predict the future supply of gold to the market and to make a forecast of the goldprice 2010-2100. The model was validated against field data for the period 1920-2010 and it performs well. The model GOLD is implemented in the STELLA® software and the model described
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det genomgående temat i avhandlingen är hur handeln mellan den Europeiska Unionen (EU) och utvecklingsländer kan öka. Två olika policyalternativ utvärderas: så kallade handelspreferenser samt förenklingar av handelsprocedurer. Handelspreferenser innebär i sin enklaste form att höginkomstländer kräver lägre tullar på importvaror somThe main theme of the thesis is how to increase trade between the European Union (EU) and developing countries. Two available policy options are assessed: trade preferences and trade facilitation. Chapter 1 offers a broad discussion of these policies, and concludes that while trade preferences, which once dominated North-South trade relations, are at a risk of becoming obsolete, trade facilitation
During recent decades we have witnessed growing scientific concern, public debate and media attention concerning the possible adverse effects on humans and wildlife that may result from exposure to a wide range of environmental contaminants. These contaminants are called endocrine disrupters, or endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of
Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. Daily compensation of the deficiency requires 4-6 insulin injections to be taken daily, the aim of this insulin therapy being to maintain normoglycemia- i.e., a blood glucose level between 4-7 mmol/L. To determine the quantity and timing of these
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt- kärlsjukdomar är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige. Den bakomliggande orsaken till de allra flesta fall av hjärt- kärlsjukdom är vad som i vardagligt tal kallas åderförkalkning. Den medicinska termen för åderförkalkning är ateroskleros. Ateroskleros är en inflammatorisk sjukdom i artärerna som orsakas av att LDL-partiklar, det så kallade onda kolesterolet, ansThe immune system is a promising target for novel therapies that are aiming at reducing cardiovascular diseases. Autoimmune responses against modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) are believed to promote development of atherosclerosis. Proinflammatory immune responses can be counterbalanced by immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). Immunizations of hypercholesterolemic mice with oxidized L
