Cirrus clouds are high-level ice clouds covering ≈ 30% of Earth’s surface. The cirrus clouds ice crystals can be formed by heterogeneous or homogeneous nucleation, where temperatures for heterogeneous nucleation was set to -38 - -30 °C and for homogeneous nucleation below -42 °C. The study will focus on microphysical properties of cirrus clouds in the tropics, 0-30°, and the mid-latitudes, 30-60°,

Arabinoxylan (AX) degrades to (arabino)xylooligosaccharides [(A)XOS] through enzymatic hydrolysis. AX and (A) XOS are considered as dietary fibers and are associated with many health benefits, including immunomodulatory activity. (A)XOS includes both xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and arabino xylooligosaccharides (AXOS). The current research aims to develop a process for production of xylan fibers,

In this paper, herding effect among pandemic emergencies, natural disaster emergencies and terrorist attacks emergencies is studied. This paper uses quantile regression with the approach proposed by Chiang and Zheng (2010) to detect herding during the time period 2001-2020. In terms of event types, herding is captured in every event group. More specifically, the pandemic group shows the most signi

The working conditions of freelancers are widely debated as the flexibilization of labor markets has resulted in more insecure labor. On one side of the debate, flexibilization of the labor market in the cultural industries is seen as an important driver of economic growth. This optimistic perspective emphasizes that individuals can develop themselves in creative and autonomous careers. The other

Sea Level Rise (SLR) is a growing global concern that is heavily influenced by a warming climate. Because of a potentially large added mass to the ocean through ice melt, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays an important role in the contribution to SLR. The presence of slush on Greenland is the result of melting processes and it can work as an indicator of surface mass balance (SMB) patterns on th

Den Kaledonska bergskedjan i Skandinavien bildades under tidsperioderna Ordovicium och Silur och är uppbyggd av ett avancerat skollkomplex. En av skollorna heter Särvskollan. Den består i huvudsak av Prekambrisk lågmetamorf sandsten, vilken genomskärs av en Prekambrisk diabassvärm som på vissa platser inte visar någon metamorfos. På ett av fjällen i Särvskollan som heter Svansjökläppen hittas högm

This master thesis describes the process of developing a new polyester filament for 3d-printing. Since the 3d-printing market is growing with makers all over the world it puts higher demands on the materials. The idea of the filament was a prototyping material that could produce living hinges. A second field was to visualize how different infills affect a printed model. The project was a collabora

In Sociology of Law the conceptual dichotomy between “The Rule of Man” and “The Rule of Law” is a pillar of interest for many researchers in the constant exploration of the relationship between law and society. With this study, a preexisting fondness for Max Weber’s theses regarding modern society as a product of an all-encompassing rationalization and bureaucratization constituted the background

Bacterial invasion of a damselfly reduces genetic diversity Wolbachia is a common bacterium that lives in the cells of a great diversity of insects. This bacterium is a great manipulator of insect biology. In the blue moon butterfly (Hypolimnas bolina), Wolbachia kills male embryos so there is as little as one male blue moon for a staggering one hundred females. Additionally, in some species of w
