High-volume, low-strength industrial wastewaters constitute a large potential for biogas production, which could be realized by membrane bioreactors operating at the ambient temperature of the wastewater. However, the start-up of low-temperature anaerobic processes using unadapted inoculum can be sensitive to overloading, which results in acidification. This study assessed if a novel acidification

The COX7A2L (Supercomplex Assembly Factor I, SCAFI) protein has been proposed to be a mitochondrial supercomplex assembly factor required for respirasome (supercomplex containing complexes I, III, and IV) formation. In the C57BL/6 mouse strain a homozygous in-frame 6-base-pair deletion in the COX7a2l/SCAF1 gene resulting in unstable protein and suggesting loss of function was previously identified

Like many other large cities, Stockholm is facing increased urbanization with densification of infrastructure as a result. At the same time, implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan and the EU Water Framework Directive is expected to result in more stringent effluent quality demands. The current situation gives rise to new challenges for the municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This

The coexistence of competing species relies on niche partitioning. Competitive exclusion is likely inevitable at high niche overlap, but such divide between competitors may be bridged if environmental circumstances displace competitor niches to enhance partitioning. Foraging-niche dimension can be influenced by environmental characteristics, and if competitors react differently to such conditions,

The Zvejnieki burial ground in northern Latvia is one of the largest concentrations of burials from the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Northern Europe. The 308 burials, dominated by primary inhumation, excavated in the 1960s and 1970s have become important references for understanding the hunter-gatherer mortuary practices in the region. Recent excavations, implementing a taphonomy-focused archaeotha

In order to support a sustainability transition in the energy sector, actors need knowledge about barriers and drivers to the deployment of clean energy technologies. Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a renewable energy technology that is technically mature and on the verge of becoming economically competitive in numerous regions around the world. Not least in the residential segment, PV has considerabl

Chloride anation of trans-Pt(CN)4ClOH2− has been studied with and without Pt(CN)42− present at 25.0 °C by use of stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry and a 1.00 M perchlorate medium. The rate law in the absence of Pt(CN)42− is compatible with a chloride assistance via an intermediate of the type Cl-Cl-Pt(CN)4···OH22−, in which the reactivity of the aqua ligand is enhanced due to a partiChloride anation of trans-Pt(CN)4ClOH2− has been studied with and without Pt(CN)42− present at 25.0°C by use of stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry and a 1.00 M perchlorate medium.

Arguing against the previous research’s presumption that the subculturalconstitutes a single set of meaning, this article addresses the simplequestion of what constitutes the subcultural? What does it mean when weaddress an object, practice, identity, or meaning structure as subcultural?Through outlining three dominant strands in regards to how subculturaldifference has been defined, the author ar

This article discusses using social media, here Instagram, as a point of access in studies on subcultural graffiti, so as to provide an established arena for initiating contact with a variety of participants. Drawing from an ongoing ethnography of Swedish graffiti writers, the approach presented here works to mitigate the often so major hurdle within ethnographic work on subcultural groups: that o

Chinese private schools may come across as a contradictory phenomenon: why would an authoritarian and officially socialist government, that needs to rely on education as an instrument of national unification and ideological control, allow for private schools and profit-making in the educational sector? However, seen against the background of the far-reaching privatisation processes that have been

During autumn 2015 we conducted a large qualitative user study on our library as a learning space. The purpose of the study was to find evidence regarding user needs, in order to be able to make well-informed decisions for a development project.The paper will discuss both the usefulness of qualitative methods in understandingstudents’ and researchers’ needs and requirements when using the library,

Complex formation between Pd(II), Pt(II) and iodide has been studied at 25 °C for an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium. Measurements of the solubility of PdI2(s) in aqueous mercury(II) perchlorate and of AgI(s) and PdI2(s) in aqueous solutions of Pd2+(aq) and Ag+(aq) gave the solubility product of PdI2(s) as Kso=(7±3) × 10−32 M3, which is much smaller than previous literature values.The stabilComplex formation between Pd(II), Pt(II) and iodide has been studied at 25 °C for an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium.
