Grass pollen is the world’s most harmful outdoor aeroallergen. However, it is unknown how airborne pollen assemblages change across time and space. Human sensitivity varies between different species of grass that flower at different times, but it is not known whether temporal turnover in species composition match terrestrial flowering or whether species richness steadily accumulates over the grass
8 poems by Scottish poet Kathleen Jamie (b. 1962) in translation from English of Lars Gustaf Andersson, with a brief commentary.
The growth of building energy simulation tools has provided users with a variety of alternatives to model and simulate buildings. The algorithms used in each building energy simulation software are different and range from simple to highly complex. TEKNOsim is a simple design tool based on analytical and empirical algorithms. It is used for calculating building thermal loads and simulating indoor
The evolution of the traditional nuclear magic numbers away from the valley of stability is an active field of research. Experimental efforts focus on providing key spectroscopic information that will shed light into the structure of exotic nuclei and understanding the driving mechanism behind the shell evolution. In this work, we investigate the Z=6 spin-orbit shell gap towards the neutron dripli
Osteoarthritis of the carpometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb (CMC1 OA) is common and causes difficulty in grasp, grip, and fine manipulation of the hand. Surgery is recommended after failure of non-operative treatment, andevidence from short and medium-term follow-up studies shows successful relief of pain and return of function. Previous investigations of epidemiology and risk factors wer
Although some characteristics of incorporating verbs and non-incorporating verbs have been proposed in previous studies, little systematic cross-linguistic research has been done on restrictions on the types of verbs that incorporate nouns. Knowledge about possible verb-based restrictions on noun incorporation may, however, provide important insights for theoretical approaches to noun incorporatio
Städer var nykomlingar i det medeltida Skandinavien. Efterhand blev dock stadslivet något att eftersträva, en rikare tillvaro med en mångsidig miljö. Städer växte fram ur existerande behov och utifrån nya maktrelationer. Under lång tid hade människor inte behövt staden och det sammanträngda liv som den erbjöd. Landskapet bestod i stället av enstaka gårdar, hushåll med gemensam bebyggelse, jordagod
Our submission to the UNSR on the Right to Development (RTD) focuses on the significant changes that are taking place within the international architecture for Financing for Development (FFD) and their impact on the realization of the RTD. A key plank of the new FFD framework is the engagement of the private sector in the mobilisation and delivery of development finance, including the use of publi
Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes that can be described by a (2), (3)-regular compact graph. In this paper, we introduce a family of (d v , d c )-regular GLDPC codes with convolutional code constraints (CC-GLDPC codes), which form an extension of classical BCCs to arbitrary regular graphs. In order to characterize the performance in the waterfall
Genomic instability is a characteristic of a majority of human malignancies. Chromosomal instability is a common form of genomic instability that can be caused by defects in mitotic checkpoint genes. Chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood are also indicative of genotoxic exposure and potential cancer risk. We evaluated associations between inherited genetic variants in 33 mitotic checkpoint g
