Dissolved organic carbon in tropical watersheds : Linking field observation and eco-hydrological modelling

Löst organiskt kol (DOC) är en allmän beteckning på organiskt material upplöst i vatten. DOC är en viktig källa för energi, kol och näring som överförs från markbundna till akvatiska ekosystem. Exporten av DOC till akvatiska ekosystem kan bidra till kolbalansen i markbundna ekosystem och till försämrad vattenkvalitet. Pågående klimat- och markförändringar kommer att påverka både genereringen och tDissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a general description of the organic material dissolved in water. DOC is an important source of energy, carbon, and nutrient transfers from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems. The export of DOC into aquatic ecosystems may contribute to the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems and to water degradation. Ongoing climate and land cover changes will affect both DOC

Modeling and Control Strategies of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

In this work, comprehensive mathematical models for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) with three different controllers (PID, FOPID and fuzzy + PID) are developed. The models are designed to control the PEMFCs' output voltage at a determined value by indirectly regulating the input hydrogen mass flow rate. The simulation results show that the developed model is well suitable for characterizing

Predicting dynamic fuel oil consumption on ships with automated machine learning

This study demonstrates a method for predicting the dynamic fuel consumption on board ships using automated machine learning algorithms, fed only with data for larger time intervals from 12 hours up to 96 hours. The machine learning algorithm trained on dynamic data from shorter time intervals of the engine features together with longer time interval data for the fuel consumption. To give the oper

Consequences of planetary migration on the minor bodies of the early solar system

Pebble accretion is an efficient mechanism that is able to build up the core of the giant planets within the lifetime of the protoplanetary disc gas-phase. The core grows via this process until the protoplanet reaches its pebble isolation mass and starts to accrete gas. During the growth, the protoplanet undergoes a rapid, large-scale, inward migration due to the interactions with the gaseous prot

Glucocorticoid-resistant B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia displays receptor tyrosine kinase activation

The response of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to dexamethasone predicts the long-term remission outcome. To explore the mechanisms of dexamethasone resistance in B cell ALL (B-ALL), we generated dexamethasone-resistant clones by prolonged treatment with dexamethasone. Using RNA-sequencing and high-throughput screening, we found that dexamethasone-resistant cells are dependent on rec

Evaluation of the Lund deep geothermal exploration project in the Romeleåsen Fault Zone, South Sweden : a case study

The bedrock of Skåne, the southernmost province of Sweden, has been targeted for geothermal feasibility studies since the late 1970s. An exploration project concerning the geothermal potential in the Romeleåsen Fault Zone was launched outside the town of Lund in 2001. Besides geophysical imaging of the thrust fault zone, the investigations included drilling and investigations of a 3701.8-m-deep e

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Model Predictive Control of a Diesel Engine

Traditionally, diesel engine control has had to rely on indirect feedback variables and empirical open-loop maps because direct measurements of the variables representing high-level objectives, such as emissions, have not been available in production engines. With new sensors being developed, the opportunity opens to design the controller directly based on high-level objectives. In this paper, we

Optical investigations on particles evolution and flame properties during pulverized coal combustion in O 2 /N 2 and O 2 /CO 2 conditions

The evolution of soot and coal/char as well as the flame properties, during pulverized coal combustion in O 2 /N 2 and O 2 /CO 2 conditions, were experimentally studied using optical diagnostics. The jet flames of pulverized coal particles were produced by using an entrained-flow reactor with optical access, and the oxygen concentrations of the gas carrying pulverized coal particles were vari

Protection of Kidney Function with Human Antioxidation Protein α 1 -Microglobulin in a Mouse 177 Lu-DOTATATE Radiation Therapy Model

Aims: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is in clinical use today to treat metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Infused, radiolabeled, somatostatin analog peptides target tumors that are killed by irradiation damage. The peptides, however, are also retained in kidneys due to glomerular filtration, and the administered doses must be limited to avoid kidney damage. The human radical scavenge

Supercapacitor/biofuel cell hybrid device employing biomolecules for energy conversion and charge storage

We report on a hybrid bioelectrochemical system that integrates an energy converting part, viz. a glucose/oxygen enzymatic fuel cell, with a charge-storing component, in which the redox features of the immobilized redox protein cytochrome c (cyt c) were utilized. Bilirubin oxidase and pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) were employed as the biocatalysts for dioxygen

An econometric analysis of the macroeconomic determinants of carbon dioxide emissions in Nigeria

This study examined an econometric analysis of the macroeconomic determinants of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in Nigeria, covering the periods between 1981 and 2016, employing both linear and non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL & NARDL) models. The time series data used were sourced from the database of the World Bank Development Indicators, 2016 and Central Bank of Nigeria Statis

Depressivity and mortality risk in a cohort of elderly men. A role of cognitive and vascular ill-health, and social participation

Objectives: Depressive symptoms in the elderly have been shown to be associated with increased mortality. The purpose of this study was to examine symptoms of depression in octogenarian men and their association with all-cause mortality, and whether physical, cognitive and social factors influence this association. Methods: Out of the 703 initially included 55-years-old men, from the prospective c

Structure-function relationship for CO 2 methanation over ceria supported Rh and Ni catalysts under atmospheric pressure conditions

In situ structural and chemical state characterization of Rh/CeO 2 and Ni/CeO 2 catalysts during atmospheric pressure CO 2 methanation has been performed by a combined array of time-resolved analytical techniques including ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-energy X-ray diffraction and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The ceria phase is partiall
