Maritime transportation is a significant contributor to SOx, NOx and particle matter emissions, and to a lesser extent, of CO2. Recently new regulations are being enforced in special geographical areas to limit the amount of emissions from the ships. This fact, together with the high fuel prices, is driving the marine industry towards the improvement of the energy efficiency of ships. Although mor

My purpose in this article is to make a contribution to what the legal philosopher H.L.A. Hart (1907-1992) has to say about providing a sociological understanding of law and to apply Hart's theory in relation to a specific area of law. The specific legal area consists of the violation compensation that victims of crime can obtain from the Crime Victim Compensation and Support Authority in Sweden.

Artikeln diskutera konservatismens etos som en specifik mänsklig grundhållning. Fyra aspekter lyfts fram: 1. Avsked från det principiella. 2. Anknytning till det redan förefintliga. 3. En pluralistisk etik. 4. En institutionell etik.

The article is based on the string-hypothesis, which has important scientific consequences. Science has meant to associate the notion of number with the strict operation of counting. However, recent account of string-theoretical approaches is sharply distinguishing ”number” from ”magnitude”. In studying ”spinning” strings in the context of language, it is shown that rotation is a valid concept. Fo

One option for coping with wasteful uses of fresh water in landscape irrigation is to use the treated greywater(GW). In the present study, an evaluation of a simple treatment system for reusing GW to irrigate green areas,trees, and ornamentals all over the campus in Tafila Technical University (TTU), Jordan, is presented. After 12 months of using the treatment system, the necessity for using fresh

Background In randomized controlled trials of secondary prevention after stroke, the risk of hemorrhage varies between 1% and 5% per year in patients with antithrombotic therapy, i.e. anticoagulants and antiplatelets. Aim To explore the rate and the risk of hemorrhage after stroke in a nationwide cohort. Methods We identified 58 868 first ever ischemic stroke patients in the Swedish Stroke Registe

REX is a Fortran program for analysis of spectra obtained in PIXE analysis. The underlying model is still under development; however, one year of experience has demonstrated REX’s capability to be a fast reliable tool. The modeling of the different components and effects of the physical model is briefly discussed. Evidence is shown that secondary effects mostly due to Compton-scattering in and aro

We present two methods to address the problem of sparsity in the FrameNet lexical database. The first method is based on the idea that a word that belongs to a frame is ``similar'' to the other words in that frame. We measure the similarity using a WordNet-based variant of the Lesk metric. The second method uses the sequence of synsets in WordNet hypernym trees as feature vectors that can be used

A critical edition of a hymn of the Epiphany (inc. "Maria candens lilium") in the manuscript AM 76, 8o of the Arnemagnæan collection, University of Copenhagen.

Purpose Previous research shows that the death of a parent places children at risk for a number of negative outcomes. The role of trust in health care at the end of life has been acknowledged as crucial for patients and adult family members. However, the consequences of children’s distrust in the care provided to their parents remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the negative long-term outco
