Species-rich sandy calcareous grasslands are threatened by land use change, eutrophication and acidification. Disturbance is vital for the persistence of characteristic sandy calcareous grassland species because it provides habitats with low competition, and can lead to increased pH and decreased nutrient availability, which favour many threatened species. Today many sandy calcareous grasslands la

Reciprocal ST depression, PR depression in the chest leads and terminal QRS distortion may improve detection of true STEMI. Convex STE is more common in ischemic than in non-ischemic patients, but the majority of STEMI patients present without convex STE.

We show that the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus anticharm jets produced in high energy diffractive photoproduction is sensitive to the interference of the Odderon (C=-) and Pomeron (C=+) exchange amplitudes in QCD. We predict the dynamical shape of the asymmetry in a simple model and estimate its magnitude to be of the order 15% using an Odderon coupling to the proton which sat

New calcareous nannofossil analyses from the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria are herein used to update and improve the state of knowledge about the oldest occurrence of coccolithophores reported in the literature. Previously reported Norian occurrences of coccoliths were based on an obsolete Triassic chronostratigraphy, in which the Rhaetian stage was subsumed into the Norian ('Sevatian 2'). T

Institutioner har betydelse för ekonomisk utveckling. Denna avhandling består av tre fristående artiklar som bidrar till olika grenar inom institutionell ekonomi.I den första artikeln undersöks kortsiktiga förändringar av könsnormer. Artikeln tar tillvara på senare tids utveckling av maskininlärningsalgoritmer för att studera normförändringar i svenska tweets. Mer specifikt så tränas en LSTM neuraInstitutions matter for economic development. This thesis consists of three self-contained articles which provide different contributions to institutional economics.The first article studies short-run changes in gender norms. It takes advantage of recent developments in machine learning algorithms to study changes in norms in Swedish tweets. More specifically, gender norms are defined in a compreh

The use of cross-flow ultrafiltration for the recovery of coating material from aqueous streams started about 30 years with electro deposition paint in the automotive industry. This early success can be related to both environmental and economical ad-vantages of using ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration recovers and concentrate electro deposition paint on the retentate side and produces purified wate

The stress response is governed by automatic neurological and hormonal processes that occur before we become consciously aware of a dangerous situation. If stress ensues for 15-30 seconds, the hormonal processes may have progressed so far that recovery takes an hour or longer instead of minutes. Stress can affect our behavior and in certain professions, such as the police force and emergency servi

We study two-species Bose-Einstein condensates in quasi-two-dimensional optical lattices of varying geometry and potential depth. Based on the numerically exact Bloch and Wannier functions obtained using the plane-wave expansion method, we quantify the drag (entrainment coupling) between the condensate components. This drag originates from the (short-range) interspecies interaction and increases w

We describe version 1.0.6 of the public C++ code 2HDMC, which can be used to perform calculations in a general, CP-conserving, two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). The program features simple conversion between different parametrizations of the 2HDM potential, a flexible Yukawa sector specification with choices of different Z2-symmetries or more general couplings, a decay library including all two-body

We investigate the effects of an all order QCD resummation of soft gluon emissions for Higgs boson production in association with two hard jets. We consider both the gluon-gluon fusion and weak boson fusion processes and show how to resum a large part of the leading logarithms in the jet veto scale. Our resummation improves on previous analyses which also aim to include the effects of multiple sof

To properly discover a charged Higgs Boson (H) requires its spin and couplings to be determined. We investigate how to utilize t spin correlations to analyze the H couplings in the decay t bH + bτ + ν τ . Within the framework of a general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, we obtain results on the spin analyzing coefficients for this decay and study in detail its spin phenomenology, focusing on the limi
