The list of Egyptian deities attested in Greek and demotic inscriptions in the sandstone quarries of Gebel el-Silsila comprises Amun, Horus, Hathor, Isis, Khnum, Montu, Pachimesen, and Shaï. Several new inscriptions and divine names are here added to previous records: the Egyptian gods Min, Bes, Tutu, and the Greek goddesses Athena and TycheThe list of Egyptian deities attested in Greek and demotic inscriptions in the sandstone quarries of Gebel el-Silsila comprises Amun, Horus, Hathor, Isis, Khnum, Montu, Pachimesen, and Shaï.

Though long admired for its Pharaonic stelae, shrines, and rock-cut temple, the grand ancient site of Gebel el Silsila remains fairly unknown withinmainstream archaeology. A general idea is that the site operated merely as a sandstone quarry, but few are aware of its rich archaeology thatincorporates evidence of millennia of human activity and cultural features that meet seven of UNESCO’s ten outs

The current paper is aimed as a primary publication of eight scarabs assembled by the Swedish-Egyptian excavation team between 2015 and 2016, found in private tombs of the Eighteenth Dynasty necropolis at Gebel el-Silsila East. Each entry includes information about field number, dimensions, material, description, inscription, and dating if possible. Typology conclusions are based on comparisons to

Observations of coral-reef fish larvae have revealed remarkably consistent orientation behaviour while swimming offshore, requiring large-scale orientation cues. However, the mechanisms underlying this behaviour are still being investigated. One potential large-scale cue for orientation is the Earth's geomagnetic field. Here, we examined the effect of magnetic field manipulations on the orientatio

Coloration mediates the relationship between an organism and its environment in important ways, including social signaling, antipredator defenses, parasitic exploitation, thermoregulation, and protection from ultraviolet light, microbes, and abrasion. Methodological breakthroughs are accelerating knowledge of the processes underlying both the production of animal coloration and its perception, exp

This work addresses the manufacturability challenges in traction machine production systems and design. The tradeoffs between performance and manufacturability of a heavy duty traction machine for buses and trucks, are investigated for four different winding designs, with multiple stator combinations, all using the same interior permanent magnet rotor. We present an analysis of electromagnetic, th

Farmers are exposed to substantial weather and market related risks. Rational farmers seek to avoid large losses. Future climate change and energy price fluctuations therefore make adaptating to increased risks particularly important for them. Managing soil natural capital—the capacity of the soil to generate ecosystem services of benefit to farmers—has been proven to generate the double dividend:

Results of the study of structural and optical properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films obtained by sulfitation (selenization) of Cu2ZnSn films which were sputtered by target direct current magnetron sputtering using a stoichiometric Cu2ZnSn (99.99%) target are presented. It has been found that Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films are polycrystalline with a grain size of ~60 nm. The optical bandgap of Cu2ZnSn

When changes happen to big data analytics (BDA) applications in the Cloud at runtime, the affected BDA applications have to be re-deployed to accommodate the changes. Deciding the most suitable deployment is critical and complicated. Although there have been various research studies working on BDA application management, autonomic deployment decision making is still an open research issue. This pa

En grundläggande fråga i den allmänna förvaltningsrätten är var gränserna ska gå för möjligheten att ändra meddelade beslut. I svensk förvaltningsrätt har denna fråga traditionellt besvarats med hjälp av principer om (förvaltningsrättslig) negativ rättskraft. I EU-rätten har det däremot under inflytande av andra medlemsstaters rättstraditioner utvecklats en unionsrättslig princip om skydd för berä

The results of a search for vector-like top quarks using events with exactly one lepton, at least four jets, and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search is optimised for pair production of vector-like top quarks in the Z() t + X decay channel. LHC pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016 are used, corresponding to a

Land-use changes, pollution and climate warming during the 20th century havecaused changes in biodiversity across the world. However, in many cases, the environmental drivers are poorly understood. To identify and rank the drivers currentlycausing broad-scale floristic changes in N Europe, we analysed data from two vascularplant surveys of 200 randomly selected 2.5 9 2.5 km grid-squares in Scania,

Sexual dimorphism in eye structure is attributed to sexual selection in animals that employ vision for locating mates. In many male insects, large eyes and eye regions of higher acuity are believed to facilitate the location of females. Here, we compare various features of male and female eyes in three sympatric carpenter bee species, which include two diurnal species (Xylocopa tenuiscapa and X. l

We explore a promising new approach to understanding the neural filter mechanisms intermediate in motion processing at low luminance. We carefully account for the known filter properties of early stages of visual processing in a nocturnal moth, and then measured spatiotemporal tuning of higher order neurons. We then use a computational model to identify likely strategies used to reject noisy signa

The Swedish parliament has decided that by 2045, Sweden will not be a net emitter of greenhouse gases. There is also a goal to have a fossil fuel free transport sector by 2030. However, the transport sector is still dominated by fossil fuels and many efforts are needed to lower emissions. Sweden has a relatively high share of biofuels, around 20% of the energy use in domestictransportation. Howeve
