Although carbonate-carbon (C), an integral part of biochar-C, contributes to the liming properties of that material, it also interferes with the estimation of the stable organic C fraction in biochars. In this study, four methods were compared in order to quantify the carbonate-C in biochars: two direct (a titrimetric procedure and thermogravimetric analysis, TGA), and two indirect (acid treatment
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to increase our understanding of the multifaceted phenomenon of home and health, by exploring processes underlying these dynamics when living at home in very old age. METHOD: A qualitative meta-synthesis was used on four complementary qualitative studies, based on data from the Swedish ENABLE-AGE In-depth Study, focusing on very old, single-living people's expe
We study, from an experimental point of view, the main ways to detect standard high mass Higgs bosons (from 300 Gev up to about 1 TeV) when they decay into W- and Z- pairs at the SSC. We also consider the corresponding W- and Z”-pair continuum which may itself provide interesting physics, and we pay some attention to the case of an intermediate mass charged Higgs decaying into rvr, (met =300 GeV).
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett centralt problem inom området datorseende är att utifrån bara ett antal bilder av föremål, återskapa formen av föremålet som avbildats. Samtidigt vill man även återskapa hur kameran rört sig mellan de olika bilderna tagits. Detta är det så kallade struktur och rörelse-problemet. I avhandlingen löses detta problem för olika typer av kameror samt olika typer av objektThis thesis revolves around the problem of solving the structure and motion problem in computer vision. This is the problem of reconstructing the world, the structure, from images taken by a number of cameras undergoing an unknown motion. Much of the thesis is centred on the problem of finding initial estimates of the structure and the motion using a small set of image data. These initial estimate
The renal cell carcinomas (RCC) denote a diverse set of neoplasias with unique genetic and histological features. The RCCs emanate from the renal tubule, a highly heterogeneous epithelial structure, and depending on which cell is malignified the resulting cancer displays unique characteristics. Notwithstanding this, the cells of origin for the RCC forms are far from established, and only inferred
Mesosiderites are rare, differentiated meteorites, so-called stony-iron meteorites—they are impact breccias composed of an unusual mix of crustal basalt and pyroxenite, core-derived metal, but no mantle materials. This odd mixture makes their origin enigmatic and has inspired many different formation theories over the last several decades. Some of the outstanding questions have regarded the origin
We take a logical approach to threshold models , used to study the diffusion of e.g. new technologies or behaviors in social net-works. In short, threshold models consist of a network graph of agents connected by a social relationship and a threshold to adopt a possibly cascading behavior. Agents adopt new behavior when the proportion of their neighbors who have already adopted it meets the thresh
Mesosideriter är sällsynta sten-järnmeteoriter med ett gåtfullt ursprung. Deras ovanliga blandning av skorp- och kärnmaterial har föranlett många bildningsteorier under det senaste århundradet. Några frågor har avsett ursprunget till metallen, huruvida den kom från en annan himlakropp, eller från moderkroppens egen kärna, samt varför det finns så pass lite mantelmaterial. Nedslag har haft en centrMesosiderites are rare stony-iron meteorites with enigmatic origins. Their unusual mix of crustal and core materials have inspired many formation theories over the last century. Some of the outstanding questions have regarded the origin of the metal, whether it came from another celestial body or from within the parent body, and the absence of mantle material. The role of impacts has been central
Lignin, the second most abundant natural polymer, has emerged as a potential alternative material to petroleum-based chemicals and renewable resource for the production of diverse forms of aromatics, biofuels, and bio-based materials. Thus, it is becoming important to understand its structure and properties to provide key features and insights for better/efficient lignin valorisation. In this work
Rural areas are regaining attention as key resource holders. This includes the attractiveness of intact and traditional cultural elements and heritage which helps to create new opportunities. However, renewal is needed for rural areas to be competitive beyond tourism. Knowledge exchange and transfer is seen as an enabling tool for regeneration and heritage valorization, although it has mostly been
