Trafiksäkerhet och väjningsbeteende i cykel-motorfordon interaktioner

Bakgrunden till projektet var det tidigare projektet Motorfordonsförares väjningsbeteende gentemot cyklande. Syftet med detta projekt var att studera om och i så fall hur motorfordonsförares väjningsbeteende kan kopplas till trafiksäkerhetssituationen på en plats. Ett annat syfte var att genom enkäter få en bild av hur trafikanter uppfattar väjningsreglerna vid cykelöverfarter. Sju platser från de

Mixed carbon sources for nitrate reduction in activated sludge-identification of bacteria and process activity studies.

Mixtures of methanol and acetate as carbon source were investigated in order to determine their capacity to enhance denitrification and for analysis of the microbial composition and carbon degradation activity in activated sludge from wastewater treatment plants. Laboratory batch reactors at 20 degrees C were used for nitrate uptake rate (NUR) measurements in order to investigate the anoxic activi

Modern landfill leachates – quality and treatment

Popular Abstract in Swedish Deponier (soptippar) har förändrats kraftigt de senaste decennierna. Detta beror främst på ändrad lagstiftning vilken i sin tur till stor del bygger på en önskan att skydda miljön. Dock har lag¬stiftningen implementerats utan riktig kännedom om dess konsekvenser för utsläppen från deponier på lång sikt. För att öka förståelsen för konsekvenserna genomfördes det forskninWaste management in Europe has changed, mainly as a result of stricter regulations, most notably the European Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC. In Sweden, landfill tax and a ban on the landfilling of waste with total organic carbon content over 10 % have diverted large amounts of waste from landfills. The biogeochemistry of landfills has changed due to their reduced organic content. The research pres

Inclusive single-particle production in two-photon collisions at LEP II with the DELPHI detector

A study of the inclusive charged hadron production in two-photon collisions is described. The data were collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP II. Results on the inclusive single-particle PT distribution and the differential charged hadrons d sigma/dp(T) cross-section are presented and compared to the predictions of perturbative NLO QCD calculations and to published results.

Towards single Ce ion detection in a bulk crystal for the development of a single-ion qubit readout scheme

Popular Abstract in English At the beginning of 20th century, scientists started to realize that atoms exhibited the discrete behaviour, e.g. the energies of bond electrons were not continuously distributed, but had discrete values. Light is also transmitted as discrete packages (called photons). These phenomena can not be explained by classical physics, which has been accepted as the law of descrThe work presented in this thesis was concerned with investigating the relevant spectroscopic properties of Ce ions randomly doped in an Y2SiO5 crystal at low temperatures (around 4 K), in order to develop a technique and an experimental set-up to detect the fluorescence photons emitted by a single Ce ion. The aim of the work was to determine whether a single Ce ion (referred to as the readout ion

The impact of urban design decisions on net zero energy solar buildings in Sweden

Planning for future energy-efficient and energy-producing buildings requires specific knowledge during the design process. Many design decisions taken by urban planners –form, density, roof type and orientation – have a significant effect on the conditions of such buildings, although urban planners might not always be aware of the effect of their design. This study examines the effects of importan

Antenna Q and stored energy expressed in the fields, currents, and input impedance

Although the stored energy of an antenna is instrumental in the evaluation of antenna Q and the associated physical bounds, it is difficult to strictly define stored energy. Classically, the stored energy is either determined from the input impedance of the antenna or the electromagnetic fields around the antenna. The new energy expressions proposed by Vandenbosch express the stored energy in the

Usability testing and redesign of library Web pages at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering: a case study applying a two-phase, systematic quality approach

Introduction: The Lund University Faculty of Engineering's LibQual+® survey 2007 showed that students and faculty had difficulties finding the information they needed at the libraries' Websites. To be able to improve the Websites, we needed to find out how the users navigated the Websites, as well as what content they needed. Method: Twenty-four students and faculty members were filmed and audio-t

Är statligt krisstöd förenligt med god ekonomisk hushållning i kommunerna?

Statligt stöd till kommuner i finansiella svårigheter förknippas ofta med efterföljande brister i kommunernas ekonomiska hushållning, eftersom kommunerna förväntar sig att staten griper in i svåra tider. Tidigare studier har dock undersökt stöd utan tydligt specificerade krav på motprestationer från mottagarnas sida. Vi studerar utvecklingen av kostnader och resultat under 2000-talet i de kommuner

Projekt Trapphuset Rosengård. Utbildningsverkstad och empowermentstation för invandrarkvinnor på väg mot arbete. En rättssociologisk undersökning av måluppfyllelse, genomförande och normstödjande arbete. Slutrapport från den externa utvärderingen.

Projekt Trapphuset Rosengård, Malmö, inleddes i maj 2008 och avslutades i april 2010. Projektet är en efterföljare till projekt Trappan, som pågick under perioden februari 2006 till juni 2007. Båda projekten har byggt på samarbete med AUC/AIC Rosengård och ABF/ABL Malmö, samt finansierats av medel från Europeiska Socialfonden och medfinansierats av Malmö Stad. Den här utvärderingsrapporten avser d

Financial Contracts in PIPE Offerings: The Role of Expert Placement Agents

We examine how Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) contracts allocate contingent cash flow rights between investors and issuers and the role of placement agents in PIPE contract design. Issuers advised by expert agents agree to more investor-friendly terms than issuers advised by nonexpert agents. Expert agents appear to help issuers understand the payoff consequences of negotiable terms. M

Acid-Base Speciation of Carboxylate Ions in the Surface Region of Aqueous Solutions in the Presence of Ammonium and Aminium Ions

The acid base speciation of surface-active carboxylate ions in the surface region of aqueous solutions was studied with synchrotron-radiation-based photoelectron spectroscopy. The protonated form was found at an extraordinarily large fraction compared to that expected from the bulk pH. When adding salts containing the weak acid NH4+ to the solution, the fraction of the acidic form at the surface i

Exploring nonverbal behavior in elite handball players: Development of the Handball Post-Shot Behavior Coding Scheme (H-PSB-CS)

It is hypothesized that nonverbal behaviors of team sport athletes have an important impact on the course of the game. However, quantitative research on this topic is rare, partly due to a lack of scientifically sound coding schemes developed to assess nonverbal behavior in team sports. The aim of the present study is to develop a coding scheme that measures nonverbal behaviors displayed by female
