In many organisations a gap exists between IT management and emergency managemement. This paper illustrates how process improvement based on a maturity model can be used to help organisations to evaluate and improve the way they include IT dependability information in their emergency management. This paper presents the IDEM3 (IT Dependability in Emergency Management Maturity Model) process improve
given depth, including submerged macrophytes and associated invertebrates. The sampler is a tong-shaped instrument consisting of two metal rods connected by a flexible joint. At the end of each arm is a metal cylinder (diameter 10 cm); one end of the cylinder has a sharpened edge and the other is equipped with a net. Powerful metal springs force the cylinders together at high speed, and macrophyte
The purpose of this paper is to present a regulator for control of the continuous-sedimentation process in a clarifier–thickener unit when this is modelled in one space dimension and when the settling properties of the solids obey Kynch’s assumption. The model is a scalar hyperbolic conservation law with space-discontinuous flux function and point source. The most desired type of solution contains
Crucian carp (Carassius carassius) develop a deeper body in response to chemical cues from piscivores. This change in body morphology has been suggested to be a predator-induced defence. Here we investigate the possible benefits of the induced body morphology in laboratory experiments. Pike foraging behaviour when feeding on crucian carp of different body depths was recorded using video. Further,
Objective: Hyperostosis-hyperphosphataemia syndrome (HHS) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by hyperphosphataemia, inappropriately normal or elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 and localized painful cortical hyperostosis. HHS was shown to be caused by inactivating mutations in GALNT3, encoding UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GalNAc-tran
The aim of the present study was to explore how a personal narrative told by a group of eight persons with aphasia differed between written and spoken language, and to compare this with findings from 10 participants in a reference group. The stories were analysed through holistic assessments made by 60 participants without experience of aphasia and through measurement of lexical and syntactic vari
A wall-slip model including limiting shear stress and the occurrence of slip at the interfaces between the lubricant and the adjacent surfaces is presented. The lubricant model is applied to EHL line contacts using smooth surfaces and isothermal conditions. The main part of the model concerns the lubricant velocities at the surfaces that are decoupled from the corresponding surface velocity giving
A high resolution injector system has recently been installed at the Lund 3 MV tandem Pelletron accelerator. The new injector, designed mainly for Al-26 ions, will increase the experimental potential of the Lund AMS facility considerably. High quality energy- and mass-resolution is obtained by using a 90degrees spherical electrostatic analyzer followed by a 90degrees magnetic analyzer. The injecto
Many crustaceans use pheromones to find mates and induce mating behaviours. If pollutants impair the ability to detect chemosensory cues and respond to pheromone signals, they could profoundly affect mating. In a series of laboratory experiments, the effect of copper (0, 0.1 or 0.5 mg Cu(II) per litre for 5 days) on specific components of the mating behaviour of male shore crab Carcinus maenas was
An account of my personal experiences working at the intersection between Japanese and Taiwanese studies, this article outlines major differences between approaches and concerns in studies of the mass media in the two countries and describes challenges and opportunities for research trying to span the two different fields.
Within the local energy independent pseudopotential theory, a convergent supercell calculation of the position of the discrete impurity level produced by the neutral undistorted vacancy in silicon has been performed. Translational symmetry was reintroduced by placing the impurities on a Bravais lattice. The author made calculations with unit cells containing up to 2662 atoms plus vacancy. A deep l
We develop an approximation for the optical potential in a solid, valid at intermediate energies, i.e. energies greater than 50 eV. The present approximation for the optical potential builds on the GW-expression. We separate the RPA polarization propagator into a core electron and a valence electron, and can then achieve a corresponding separation of the optical potential. We apply this method to
This paper analyzes newly collected lexical data from 26 languages of the Aslian subgroup of the Austroasiatic language family using computational phylogenetic methods. We show the most likely topology of the Aslian family tree, discuss rooting and external relationships to other Austroasiatic languages, and investigate differences in the rates of diversification of different branches. Evidence is
