One of the main ways in which in-between time-spaces are organised and materialised in the urban environment is through waiting places. In his article we point to the transformative potential of waiting places, their role as actors in an urban web, and discuss briefly their societal role in recent historical changes. Public waiting places are today increasingly becoming pre-programmed: connected t

Soil food webs are characterised by complex direct and indirect effects among the organisms. Consumption of microorganisms by soil animals is considered as an important factor that contributes to the stability of communities, though cascading effects within the food web can be difficult to detect. In a greenhouse experiment, an addition of a high number the fungal feeding collembola Folsomia quadr

To evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Swedish version of the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory (J-TCI), it was sent to parents of 9- and 12-yr-old twins in Sweden. The final number of responders was 196 parents who rated 92 female and 104 male twin pairs. The inventory of one twin, randomly chosen from each pair, was included in the analyses. Reward Dependence, Persistence,

Methanol premixed flames were studied under oxy-fuel conditions for the first time. Laminar burning velocities were measured with the heat flux method at atmospheric pressure for unburnt gas temperatures of 308-358 K within a stoichiometric range of phi = 0.8-1.5. A linear relationship between temperature and laminar burning velocity on a log-log scale was observed. The experimental results are di

FTIR study of the evolution of multivacancy-oxygen-related defects in the temperature range 100-350 degrees C in Czochralski-grown Si samples irradiated with different particles (10 MeV electrons and 5 MeV neutrons) has been carried out. Appearance of two absorption bands positioned at 833.4 and 842.4 cm(-1) has been found upon annealing of the divacancy related absorption band at 2767 cm(-1). The

In this paper we determine the oxygen profile in a biofilm on suspended carriers in two ways: firstly by microelectrode measurements and secondly by a simple mathematical model. The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor is well-established for wastewater treatment where bacteria grow as a biofilm on the protective surfaces of suspended carriers. The flat shaped BiofilmChip P was developed to allow good condi

Social constructionists consider interviews as mutually co-constructing meaning. But what if the interlocutors do not seem to agree on what they construct? What if the interviewee has a particularly strong agenda, far from the intended research topic? Are these ‘failed’ interviews? We address this issue using a ‘deviant’ interview in a study of ‘being a neighbour’. First, we add to the discussion

Numerous anthropogenic activities threaten the biodiversity found on earth. Because all ecological communities constantly experience temporal turnover due to natural processes, it is important to distinguish between change due to anthropogenic impact and the underlying natural rate of change. In this study, we used data sets on breeding bird communities that covered at least 20 consecutive years,

This is a paper about ownership and governance in a jointly owned local government organization providing water services (Water and Se wage South). The paper discusses the conditions for governance and ownership influence in a jointly owned local government organisation. Extra attention is directed to the issues concerned with merging existing municipal organisations, previously acting solely with

Lectotypes are designated for 83 names of species of Hieracium sect. Hieracium, H, sect. Vulgata and H. sect. Bifida described by Swedish authors based on material from the provinces Gastrikland, Halsingland and Medelpad of central Sweden. Whenever needed, the affinities and taxonomic value of the lectotypified taxa and the taxonomic implications of the lectotypifications are discussed. One new co

Housing was a backbone of the Danish welfare state, but this has been profoundly challenged by the past decades of neoliberal housing politics. In this article we outline the rise of the Danish model of association-based housing on the edge of the market economy (and the state). From this, we demonstrate how homes in private cooperatives through political interventions in the context of a booming

Let $C^\infty(a,b)$ be the Fr\'echet space of all complex-valued infinitely differentiable functions on a (finite or infinite) interval $(a,b)\subset\mathbb{R}$. Let ${L\subset C^\infty(a,b)}$ be a closed subspace such that $DL\subset L$, where $D=\frac{d}{dx}$. Then the spectrum $\sigma_L$ of $D$ on $L$ is either the whole complex plane, or a discrete possibly void set of eigenvalues $\lambda$, e

The v2 and v4 of pions, kaons and protons have been measured by PHENIX in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions up to pT ~ 6 GeV/c and 4 GeV/c, respectively. The v4 of all these identified particles have been found to scale with the number of constituent quarks and all these particles have a similar v4/v22 ratio which is close to 0.9. The scaling behavior of v2 is studied at high pT and a deviation from the un

There is a growing scientific consensus that limiting the increase in global average temperature to around 2 C above pre-industrial levels is necessary to avoid unacceptable impact on the climate system. This requires that the developed countries' emissions are radically reduced during the next 40 years. Energy scenario studies provide insights on the societal transitions that might be implied by
