Abstract in Undetermined Numbers of soil bacteria stained with acridine orange (AO) or fluorescein diacetate (FDA) were studied for 3 and 2 yr respectively. Three pine forest sites were used and both organic and mineral soil layers were included. Different patterns of fluctuation in bacterial numbers were found each year. Significant correlations were demonstrated between AO-stained bacterial numb

The secondary clarifier or settler is crucial for the whole activated sludge operation. Consequently, it is important to obtain a reliable analytical model as well as a useful numerical method, which can be used in the automatic control of the settling process. Discontinuities (shocks) appear physically, and an analytical description as well as a stable numerical algorithm must be able to handle t

The existence of a vertical age gradient in the Milky Way disc has been indirectly known for long. Here, we measure it directly for the first time with seismic ages, using red giants observed by Kepler. We use Stromgren photometry to gauge the selection function of asteroseismic targets, and derive colour and magnitude limits where giants with measured oscillations are representative of the underl

Theoretical predictions of the electron affinity of Ca vary from 0 to 130 meV. Not all calculation, have included the same effects. In this paper, the different approaches are reviewed, the effect of assumptions estimated whenever possible, and some new ab initio results reported that estimate the effect of core polarization on electron affinity for both Ca and Sc. For the latter our predicted ele

In this paper we argue that Long Wave Theory provides a useful conceptual tool for understanding the transition from the industrial to the, post-industrial economy. While economic theories struggle to fully explain the structural changes involved in the shift towards the information economy, long wave theory offers a promising avenue for understanding the complex relationship between technology an

This article reports model experiments where vocal tract profiles of high and mid unrounded front and high rounded back vowels were systematically modified to simulate small constriction shifts along the hard or soft palate, in order to test A. M. Bell's century-old proposal that small shifts of tongue arch fronting or retraction would yield audible shifts of vowel timbre. Such differences were cl

Given the strength of nationalist sentiment across all Iraqi sects and the broad-based recognition of Sistani as a force for national unity, it will be difficult for Shia PMU groups to form a quasi-state in parallel to the Iraqi government once Isis is dislodged. In the eventuality of such a political outgrowth, the PMUs are bound to lose Sistani’s backing, and with it their legitimacy in the eyes

This article explores the rise and fall of social investment (SI) practices in Swedish local government to examine how public-sector reforms are enacted—and undone—in practice. While SI initially promised more preventive, evidence-based and cost-efficient welfare, its local implementation through SI Funds (SIFs) reveals a more complex story. Based on a decade of ethnographically informed research,

Studien var en systematisk litteraturstudie med syftet att undersöka evidensen för anknytningsbaserad familjeterapi som behandlingsform vid depression och suicidalitet hos ungdomar utifrån behandlingseffektivitet och verksamma processer inom behandlingen. Nio artiklar granskades utifrån sin vetenskapliga kvalitet. Avseende evidensen för metodens behandlingseffektivitet konstaterades att flera äldrThis study was a literature review with the aim of examining the empirical evidence for attachment-based family therapy as a treatment for adeolescents with depression and suicidal ideation regarding both treatment efficacy as well as suggested change-driving processes. Nine articles were assessed for their scientific quility. Regarding the evidence for treatment efficacy older articles were found

T cells are key cellular components of the adaptive immune system that play a critical role in our defense against pathogens and cancer but also contribute to pathology in the setting of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. The thymus constitutes the body's major T cell production site, where bone marrow-derived progenitors migrate in a co-ordinated fashion through anatomically distinct cortical
